GRANDMA'S CAULIFLOWER



Grandma's Cauliflower image

This is a dish that sounds odd but has long been one of my faveorites. The grandma in question is my great grandmother who apparently came up with the recipe (and published in just about every church cookbook I have found) but my memories are of my nana making it for me every time I was at her place for an evening meal. I have tried this with low fat mayo and with splenda and it works just fine for me that way but I am going to give the original recipe.

My Grandma Nickie used to make this 'treat' and we could never get enough. After many attempts, I've managed to copy her. Both my boys asked me to teach them to make it.
