I used this as my starting point. I added half a bag of frozen cooked broccoli, 7 oz shredded cheddar cheese, and used two cups of homemade chicken stock instead of the bullion cubes. I food processed the cauliflower, chicken stock, broccoli, onion, cheese, cream, salt. I sprinkled bacon and cheese on top when I served it. Very tasty. I think the cheese and broccoli were good additions.

I am a married cruise-only travel agent with two stepsons, aged 20 and 25. It took a while to get the boys used to my cooking, as they were raised on fast food and pre-packaged foods (i.e. mac-n-cheese from the blue box, frozen dinners, Chef Boyardee, McDonalds, etc.). My mother is from Spain and I lived there as well as Germany, England and Italy growing up, which influenced both my career and my cuisine!</p>
