Made your recipe as given, with one slight exception ~ I substituted 3 tablespoons of Hormel Real Bacon Pieces for the cut up bacon listed! It all came together very nicely & we had a very enjoyable cauliflower side! I particularly liked the nuts in this one! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed for our VIP in the current Veggie Swap]
