I swear I live in the best building ever. Every few weeks they host something special for us. Last night they had Heavenly Cupcake come and supply us with gourmet cupcakes. They also do a raffle each time where you can win spa treatments, grocery gift cards, restaurant gift cards etc... Last time I won a gift card to krisp which is a local organic food and spirits market that is 2 blocks from our building. It is so nice to live in a place that does nice things. These mixers have helped us meet some fabulous friends and I am so blessed to live here!
Because we had a cupcake mixer, I knew I wanted to go with a healthy dinner. One of the things I made was this fabulous Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower that is accompanied with roasted onion and garlic. Yum! This is now going to be made weekly. Don't be afraid of Cauliflower! It is a fabulous vegetable that takes on the flavor of what you cook it with. Make this, I bet you can get some non veggie eaters to go ahead and try it!
This dish is healthy, low calorie, but also full of flavor!

ReplyDeleteCauliflower is one of many types of vegetables found in the Brassica oleracea species, more specifically in the family Brassicaceae.
ReplyDeleteThere are other related vegetables, which include collard greens,
Brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale, and cabbage, which are simple variants
on the same species, but still have different cultivar groups.
