We’ve seen cauliflower try to be pizza crust for a while now and I can’t sell my family on it! It always tastes too much like cauliflower and for my picky eaters, that’s not going to fly. I decided It needed something more to help give the crust a little oomph. When I tested this recipe, my picky eaters willingly ate half a head of cauliflower! Lettuce know if this recipe becomes a new family favorite for you too.

It's also easy to add any other veggies or cooked proteins you might have on hand to a pasta dish with this tasty cauliflower sauce.

This is a cute craft that celebrates cauliflower! Cauliflower comes in a rainbow of colors including white, purple, and orange. You can create your own rainbow of cauliflower plants using simple craft supplies that you most likely have at home already: coffee filters, green construction paper, brads (or pipe cleaners), safety scissors, and washable markers. And best of all- no glue!

Doing veggie crafts is a great way to "make veggies fun for kids" (our motto!). We recommend pairing this cauliflower craft with a cauliflower snack during or after the craft.

Chocolate and cauliflower? Yes, please! Frozen cauliflower makes smoothies thick and creamy but you don’t taste it at all. Make sure to have kids add the cauliflower to the blender along with the other ingredients so they know the veggie is in there. The taste and texture of steamed and frozen whole florets is best but you can also use frozen riced cauliflower in this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 heaping cup frozen cauliflower florets* (or 1 cup frozen riced cauliflower) 
• 1 frozen banana
• 2 pitted dates (or 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup)
• 2 tablespoons almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds, optional
• 3 tablespoons raw cacao (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
• 1 cup milk (any kind)
• Handful of ice cubes
• Mini chocolate chips and/or chocolate sprinkles for toppings

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients except for toppings to a blender. Blend, stopping once or twice to make sure no chunks remain. Add in additional ice to make thicker or more milk to thin out the drink. Pour into glasses then sprinkle with any desired toppings. Enjoy!​​ Have any milkshake leftover? Freeze in popsicle molds to enjoy later as a frozen treat.

*To make frozen cauliflower florets, first cut a head of cauliflower into medium sized pieces. Steam cauliflower until tender, drain, and set aside to cool. Once cool, freeze in a singer layer until solid then store in a container or plastic bag in the freezer.

We are happy to bring you another fun recipe from Noelle of Motherhood and Meals. This one features cauliflower as we're celebrating all things cauliflower at Veggie Buds Club this month!

Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons avocado or grapeseed oil

Instructions

1. Chop cauliflower into small pieces. This is a great step to have your children help with if you have a kid-friendly knife and extra time… it can take a while. We really like the Foost Knives which is what Rhett is using here.
2. In a large bowl mix together the oil, spices, and nutritional yeast. Add the cauliflower in and toss in the oil mixture until all the cauliflower is coated.
3. Pour all the cauliflower out onto a baking stone. Sprinkle with a little more spice if you wish and bake at 400 for 30 minutes or until cauliflower is crisp. Serve warm or cold and enjoy the show!

Note: This is also a wonderful snack for a school lunch or after school and can easily be served as part of a supper meal too!

​While making this popcorn you can use it as a teaching moment with your children. You can talk to them about the letter P for POPCORN, the color WHITE, and how the cauliflower starts out CRUNCHY and ends up SOFT. And if your child is an apprehensive eater then they may be more interested in trying this new food after they have prepared it as opposed to just seeing it on their plate. There is never a shortage of fun learning to be had when Kids are in the Kitchen!

Kids will love to get involved with this Shake 'n' Bake Cauliflower recipe! They can break the cauliflower into pieces, crack eggs, measure the ingredients, and shake, shake, shake those cauliflower florets in the yummy breadcrumb mixture. Serve the crunchy veggies as a side dish or snack with your favorite dip.
