Easy Roasted Dijon Cauliflower (easy happy recipe)

I have seen lots of recipes on Pinterest for whole roasted cauliflower. They looked so good it made me want to start testing recipes. What I love about cauliflower is it has a subtle sweet hearty taste. Also, it is allot like mushrooms. They both fill you up quick and you never miss the beef for dinner. Although, for Tom, I always sprinkle bacon on veggie main dishes lol. We made a pact when we moved in together 8 years ago. No meatless Mondays for him. Although this and pasta is ok lol.

Happy Cooking Tips:

• Make the Dijon dressing a week in advance. It last in the fridge for a long time because there is no cheese or cream in the recipe.
• Make double the recipe, slice and freeze the cauliflower for quick dinner later on.
• Use store bought Dijon or Italian dressing instead of making your own.
