I've seen people posting a lot of recipes for cauliflower bread sticks and pizza crusts. I was pretty skeptical at first, but figured it was worth a try. They turned out good.. I almost got my husband to try them (he doesn't like cauliflower), until he saw me typing up this blog, so now I'm pretty sure that went out the window. Honestly, the seasoning & cheese mask any kind of cauliflower taste. So, YAY for something tasty, healthy, and gluten free for those who can't have gluten.

- 1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower

Chop the cauliflower florets into chunks and steam them in a steamer or on the stove until slightly soft for 15 minutes. Place in a ricer or grate.
