Cauliflower Bagel Sandwiches

Going easy on the bread has never been easy for me. Even during my 7-day detox, it was really hard to not eat bread. Every day I found myself craving bread. But ever since I got my hands on this cauliflower bagel recipe it’s no problem at all. When I don’t want to eat bread, I just whip up a batch of these babies. They are superb right out of the oven! For an added kick, make your own paleo mayo with this recipe.
