Cauliflower. This member of the cruciferous vegetable family grows in a compact “head” surrounded by green leaves. It is most widely known as a white vegetable but is also grown as light green or purple. It is an excellent source of vitamins K and C and B vitamins and is a good source of fiber and potassium.

Nutritional yeast. What is nutritional yeast anyway? I talk about nutritional yeast in my cheese sauce recipe here. Some of my other recipes that include nutritional yeast are:
