cauliflower rebirth??
 
After I cut off the cauliflower "fruit", is there any reason to keep the plant and wait for more cauliflower babies to
grow...will this plant send up new shoots/branches that will eventually produce more fruit?

It is has been my experience that cauliflower does not put up new
shoots/branches so I take the whole plant out when the head is
harvested. Broccoli, on the other hand, will readily produce side shoots
with small heads so I leave them for the whole season and re-harvest. YMMV
