Cauliflower Snowman
"This is a Taste of Home recipe. I like it because with the exception of the cauliflower, I usually have the other ingredients on hand. So whenever cauliflower goes on sale, I will usually make this recipe. The decorations of using black olives for the mouth and eyes and using carrots for the nose are cute, but I rarely do that."

I am married and mother to an adult son, two rescue dogs; a small pug mix and a young Yorkshire Terrier. I prefer baking to cooking. I have a wonderful husband who will clean-up after I do the cooking.
