Roasted Cauliflower

I swore up and down to tons of people that I was the mother of the pickiest eater alive.  Baby lady would throw almost anything that was put on her tray and it was a game of distraction to get her to open her mouth for a spoon.  For example "ooh, look I have a Tupperware lid" and when she's occupied with that, BAM, we get the spoon in.  She didn't enjoy meals and neither did we.  It was actually something we dreaded, passing it off to the other whenever possible.

That all changed when she started eating table food (like she's a dog...this phrase weirds me out).  It turns out that she wants food, but it has to be for adults.  She has gobbled up salmon, broccoli, soup, pizza, peas and now cauliflower.  I made this as a side dish for myself, hoping that she would eat some as well, and she did!  I'm so excited because B doesn't like cauliflower so I never really make any for myself.  Now someone else in the house will eat it with me!  But I still have a feeling that she's the pickiest eater alive.
