About: Recipes and tips for eating clean and living green

My husband is on a roll with cooking! I woke up one Sunday morning to this amazing smell in the house and he was baking Popcorn Cauliflower. They are crispy, delicious and vegetarian. They pair so well with my husband's Garlic Aioli dip that he makes. Great as a snack or to serve at a party, these will be the star appetizer of the night.
