I have a dream where one day everyone will get on board with cauliflower. Cauliflower gets a bad rap; even more so now that it's the "trendy" food to eat. People knock on the broccoli impostor constantly on my social media feeds.But have you ever tried cauliflower? Like, really tried it? It just needs to… Continue reading Kung Pao Roasted Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts

Thai Almond Zoodle Bowl
I think I've gotten a contact high from some paint job Rob was working on. Wooh. Not nearly enough ventilation in this apartment, that's for sure. I also made matters worse by busting out the grill pan and grilling up some bratwurst for lunch. The grill pan and brats produced a lot of smoke; I… Continue reading Thai Almond Zoodle Bowl
Leen’s Favorite Roasted Cauliflower
I've been digging on cauliflower since it became cool to eat it. I'm talking 20+ years ago, y'all.

One of… Continue reading Leen’s Favorite Roasted Cauliflower

No preservatives, no weird ingredients you can't pronounce, and a good… Continue reading Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Quinoa

Instead, roughly 30,000 of them are congregating at the state capitol, pushing for lawmakers to restore funding to… Continue reading Key Lime Powerbars
Oyster Mushroom Etouffee
Louisiana holds a special place in my heart. My first visit to the state was in the early 2000's. My grandpa and parents and I drove down to Alexandria so we could meet some of my grandpa's relatives. It was, as you say, love at first sight. And first bite, in my case. I was… Continue reading Oyster Mushroom Etouffee
Maple-Pecan Sweet Potato Slices
You know how everyone says you gain 15 pounds during your first semester in college? The "freshman fifteen"? Why did nobody warn me about the "honeymoon fifteen"?! I've seriously gained 15 pounds since our wedding. Granted, the holidays were thrown in right after our wedding in October, so that didn't help any. I'm now absolutely… Continue reading Maple-Pecan Sweet Potato Slices
