"This has been handed down from meine Mutti. She found it in a German magazine back in the 50's. This is the only recipe I use for making cauliflower. My kids wouldn't eat cauliflower any other way. We make it at least once a month."

I'm a landscape contractor in the Washington Metro area. I design, install, maintain trees and booshes. Since my Sweetie Pie often comes home late from work, I also do the cooking. I'm running out of ideas on what to cook every day and then I found the Recipe Zaar. Life may never be the same again!<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
