Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Roasted Cauliflower

Did you know that a single head of cauliflower can feed a whole family for a week?

I just made that up.  But I'm pretty sure it's possible.  I had no idea how much food a single head of cauliflower would make.  Turns out it's not a bad deal for $2.99.

Another great thing I learned with this recipe tumeric is a great spice!  

INGREDIENTS


1 head of cauliflower, sliced into large florets 
2 TBS olive oil
2 TBS minced garlic
1 TBS tumeric
1 TBS fresh ground black pepper  
DIRECTIONS



Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.

Toss caulifloer in olive oil and minced garlic, then spread on foil-covered baking sheet.

Cook for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.  Add spices, stir and cook 5-10 minutes more until cauliflower is golden on tips.
  VERDICT

I can't say that I was overly excited for this side recipe.  I mean, it's cauliflower after all. But the addition of a new spice I had yet to try turned out to be a great addition to our spice cabinet.


It also turns cauliflower neon yellow, which is pretty cool.

Make this as a side dish with any meat dinner.  We had it with Asian-style tilapia!
