Simply Delicious !


I wanted to share with you a quick post on my most ever favorite way to prepare fresh cauliflower !
Roasted Cauliflower
Ingredients:
* 1 head of cauliflower
* 2-3 gloves of garlic minced
* Lemon juice ( fresh is the best )
* Olive Oil
* Course salt ( I use sea salt)
* Parmesan cheese
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut cauliflower into florets and place in a single layer in an oven proof baking dish. Toss in the garlic ( I use organic minced garlic in the jar...convenience) .Squeeze the lemon over the cauliflower and drizzle each piece with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
2. Place casserole dish in oven uncovered for about 30 min. Test with fork for doneness, should be able to pierce.Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
Sooooo very good ! Hope you enjoy preparing this !

Winter Came Early !

Woke up this morning to a gentle surprise ! Did I say gentle? It is more of a shocking one! Snow coming down , wet and heavy , covering everything ! I am so not ready for winter yet ( I never am ) . Snow, cold ,just plain don't like it ! But I still live here, so I need to adjust! Below is a photo I took on my deck of a little wood bench I have a string of lights on and a bird cage.....they are covered! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !

I made a big pot of chicken and dumplings ! What could be better to have on a cold day? My most favorite chicken broth to use is Watkins Poultry Broth ! Pictured here ! I love using this brand , not so salty as some others , yet so easy to keep on hand!


The finished product !

Have a warm and creative day !!

Simple and easy !


Simple and easy treat to create in no time !! It was my son-in-law's birthday today & everyone was over ! I know he loves these and none of us really like cake ! So I thought I would share this quick little treat with you !

All you need is the biscuits that come in a "can" that you crack open ... and a package of cream cheese ! Take one biscuit & form around about a tablespoon of cream cheese and pinch it so it covers all of the cream cheese . Bake in the oven till they are lightly browned. Let them cool and then frost with a powdered sugar frosting ..I use butter ( melted) with a tiny bit of milk and almond extract which is a must for these .

They are ever so yummy & look great too !! Hope you enjoy making them sometime soon !!
