Kids and adults liked this recipe. I did half the hot sauce and it was just the right amount of heat balanced with the sweetness. Definately will make this again and maybe will add some carrots to it.

I really liked this recipe. I wanted maybe some carrots in addition to the cauliflower, but the flavor was really good. Everyone in my family liked it, which doesn't usually happen!
