It is funny that some of my favorite dishes are created when I am trying to clean out either my refrigerator or my cabinet. This time I needed space in my refrigerator to prepare for Thanksgiving. What needed to go? half a cauliflower, half a bag of baby greens, and some chicken fingers that Cam…

Roasted Fall Vegetables with Pumpkin Seed Oil
It was a night when I needed to make a relatively fast dinner, but had no idea what I wanted to make. I stopped at one of the local farm markets and picked up a cauliflower; I decided I would do something with the cauliflower and some of the sweet potatoes from my garden….
Cauliflower and Lentil Tacos
This is probably the strangest use of cauliflower I have tried yet, but, it worked! The cauliflower-lentil combo was surprisingly tasty. We all ended up making tortilla-less salad combos with it after eating a taco or two. It easily replaced beef and refried beans and was more flavorful and oh so healthy! In addition the…
Roasted Cauliflower Frittata
As I have been saying, I am tickled with the cauliflower in my garden. So far I have used the cauliflower in Spanish Cauliflower-Chickpea Salad and in a vegetable tempura that really good, but I did not get enough photos of to be able to build a post on it. Tonight was a frittata I developed last…
Spanish Cauliflower-Chickpea Salad
Cauliflower is ready to be harvested! All 4 of my plants are producing. This is the first time that has happened. Typically I only get heads on 2 of the 4, so I am very happy. This post is about what I did with the first two heads… My two favorite ways to prepare cauliflower…

I came up with sweet potatoes and garlic from my garden, cauliflower, frozen peas, a half used bag of spinach, canned…
Pasta with Pan-Seared Cauliflower, Broccoli, Cabbage and Tomato
Ah, fall, time again for broccoli and cauliflower – two of my favorite vegetables. I did not get a chance to plant them in August, but there are plenty of locally grown broccoli and cauliflower to be found. When you have nice, fresh vegetables, sometimes the best thing to do is a simple pan-sear with…
Cauliflower and Broccoli Farro
Every time I make farro I am surprised a how much I like it and wonder why I don’t make it more often. Every single time. But then I forget. Months go by. I don’t make farro, a bag sits in the pantry. Then I make a dish using farro and…am surprised by how much…
Saffron Cauliflower and Shrimp Pasta
The cauliflower is in! All of my plants produced usable heads this spring, with no bugs. What a nice change. The cool, wet weather this spring has benefitted the early vegetables, but I am not sure what the effect will be on my hot weather veggies. The tomato plants are not happy and my okra…
Khorest Gol Kalam (Cauliflower Stew) and 10K
I wasn’t sure how my leg would handle the 10K; my calf seemed healed,but my hamstring was very tight since my 1 mile test run on Thursday. And, it was going to be a trail run with real hills, some steep. So,my goal was to make it through, and I was going to apply the…
