in the Mississippi Delta, my wonderful mother often made a cauliflower casserole.\u00a0 When I began to cook a few years ago, I got her to share her recipe with me.\u00a0 She knew it by heart, but copied a well-worn 3&#8243;x5&#8243; recipe card for me by hand. \u00a0 I only cooked it one time.\u00a0 I was afraid someone in our family would have a heart attach before they had a second helping!\u00a0 It was loaded with cheese and butter and heavy cream.\u00a0 It was good, very good.\u00a0 But it was not very healthy.\u00a0 This recipe, inspired by a post by Ann McCorkle Lester as a sensible and tasty alternative.\u00a0 It should work well with beef, chicken or fish.\u00a0 Give this recipe a try and let me know how it works for you.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>1
