+1. Add shredded cheese and chicken. Now you have a meal!

A bag of boiled frozen cauliflower? Gross. And sounds like a gas attack a few hours later.

Buy fresh and roast it. And have more food

I would steam the frozen cauliflower to retain more nutrients.

+1 If you are eating your delicious bag of cauliflower once in a while when you don't want to deal with a real dinner, fine. If this demonstrates your philosophy of eating, you should ask your doctor to screen you for an eating disorder.

Because then OP can't get her attention she so desperately wants by talking about her disorderd eating.

Unfortunately, this.

I’d layoff the bowl.

After you steam, slice and sautee with some bell peppers, then mix in a bowl with good feta, nice and creamy. Top with crumbled cashews. It's really good.

Why even mess up a bowl. Just eat it directly out of the pot

It's a side dish, not a dinner, OP. I think you knew that, though.

Not unhealthy, but certainly is joyless

Tell us why you don’t think it’s healthy. Obviously you don’t or you wouldn’t be asking.

No, that is not healthy or nutritious. Also sounds gross.

The freezing actual retains nutrients that are lost as fresh food goes through transit and marketing, so if OP likes frozen then there is no reason not to eat frozen. But PP is right about the boiling - the nutrients will be diluted in the water. How about a quicker boil, or roasting, microwaving, or stir frying instead?

You don’t need every MEAL to be balanced, or even every day. But every week should have enough fat, protein, carbohydrates, and other nutrients. Caluliflower doesn’t have any protein, fat, or many carbs at all. But I like it, so I eat it. What else are you going to eat, OP?
