Here are seven good recipes that will help you do just that!

1. Creamy cauliflower soup

INGREDIENTS
1 kg of cauliflower
2 egg yolks
30 g of white cheese (per 1 serving)
70 g of butter
100 g of cream
200 g of milk
salt and pepper

1. Wash the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Put them in a pot of salted water and cook for 10 minutes.

2. Take the florets out of the pot and drain the water.

2. Pasta with avocado sauce and shrimp

4. Turn off the stove. Add the rest of the lime juice and 2 tablespoons of cilantro, and toss everything together.

Ever wonder about a boxed mix you've seen in the store? Is it any good? Could it replace something you'd otherwise make from scratch?
