Spring to me is all about blooming flowers, light and fresh meals and of course pretty colors, like my “half of the time” favorite color yellow,( the other half green). This recipe is all of those things, well…almost.

I’m not a big fan of cauliflower although I will tolerate it….. in the right seasoning conditions of course, but when I first saw these pretty yellow cauliflower in the produce section of a casual shopping trip, I was…well…bedazzled! I’m sure it being the start of a not so warm but certainly sun shining spring had a little something to do with my enthusiasm for those pretty little veggies. Immediately I began to devise a plan that would make them taste as pretty as they looked.

My first thought? I guess they have to taste good with bacon…and with some extra thought….a little sweetness never hurt(honey)….and with some more thought how about I roast them…being that I love to roast my veggies so much.

Well? looka here looka here! What I was left with was a delightful and tasteful bowl of goodness and it’s all a veggie…..never mind the bacon……this thing is a healthy treat….right? Warning! I am not an expert in anything but taste…..and eating…..and a few other things that have to do with baby bottoms and diapers…but let me not get off track in letting you know that this thang right here, is the TRUTH! And by that I mean gosh darn it good! And with all of those long sentences here is a recipe you better try.

                                                                                                                                                          4 thick slices of bacon

                                                                                                                                                                   1 Garlic clove          

1 heaping Tablespoon of honey

2 Tablespoon butte

Salt & Pepper to taste

 Cook your bacon and set aside on paper lined plate. Add butter to rendered bacon grease in pan. Add chopped and washed cauliflower and toss together. I like to press a small garlic clove over the cauliflower at this point. *optional* Salt and pepper to taste. Add Heaping tablespoons of Honey and toss to incorporate everything, let cook while watching carefully for about 5 minutes. The cauliflower will start to caramelize. Place under broiler for about 5-7 more minutes. Crumble cooked bacon on top and garnish with a little fresh parsley. Voila! It’s such a aesthetically pretty dish and it tastes really good.
