Primal Cauliflower Casserole (not strict paleo)

 

    I found the blog @PaleOMG and fell in love with how easy and delicious Juli Bauer's recipes are. The recipe mentioned below is fantastic and super easy. Cleaning up my diet has not been easy but I feel better without processed crap in my system. Food blogs like +Michelle Tam, +Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations, and of course @PaleOMG have helped me on this paleo journey of mine. If only I can convince +Steven Larizza that most vegetables are not poisonous and that eating ice cream cannot be substituted for an entire meal, unless your knee is as swollen as a cantaloup.
