I know it's been a while since my last tutorial, but never fear - the magic ring is here!

Seriously? This is so amazing it might even get my son to eat cauliflower without being asked a dozen times -- Little Miss thinks that roasted cauliflower makes the best snack ever...But that 's a different post for a different day.
