Cauliflower Goat Cheese Gratin

 Cauliflower is one of those vegetables that I sometimes forget about. I try to find recipes that I can incorporate into our food plan. When I was visiting with my friend Laurie recently she was telling me about one of their family favorites that she makes on Thanksgiving and it sounded so good, I asked her if I could adapt her recipe and maybe blog it.  My friend Laurie was born and raised in New Orleans and is a wonderful cook. This is one of her great recipes that I have adapted. This is a great side dish that will go with any meal.
