Hi Valerie:

First, let me say that when I began a paleodiet, I was attracted to more
fried foods initially because I wasn't eating enough fat.  I was still
clinging on to the Food Pyramid scare concerning saturated fat.  When I
let go of that mindset, and cultivated my own instinctual stop of sorts
with regards to fat, I found certain deep fried, overly greasy foods
unappealing.  So, the more fatty lamb, eggs, avocadoes and homemade
mayonnaise and nuts I ate, the "cleaner" I seemed to like my foods.
Very simple preparation became more palatable.  Now, if I go to a
Chinese restaurant, and get even their version of lightly sauteed
greens, I always have a nice zit on my cheek the next morning.  Yet, I
can sit with a jar of raw almond butter, or a plate of lamb ribs  and
devour  with no problem or ill effects!  Also, I eat a lot of wild game,
and I can go to town on venison steaks, but have a real clear
instinctual stop with grain fed meat.  My body seems to communicate much
quicker and clearly now.  I also find that raw fat is definately more to
my liking.  Even raw eggs in a blender drink over cooked, for example.
It all depends on weather, mood, etc.

So, maybe try blanching your cauliflower, and serving the flowerettes
with a guacomole dip, or maybe some horseradish mayonnaise made with
extra virgin olive oil.  YUM!

Or don't listen to anyone but yourself, and go with your gut feeling and
cravings.

Cheers!
