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 !

Lunch !!!

My usual lunch on most days ! Sort of a lazy lunch , but I love it ! I start with some organic greens , pile on a plate then I add whatever I have on hand , which usually is some organic chicken breast , some oranges , an avocado sliced , Parmesan cheese , sunflower seeds, some times some croutons , and some days if I have strawberries on hand I toss them in ! Top with my favorite dressing Briannas Poppy Seed dressing ! Okay I am sure this is not in the low calorie range , but it does taste good !

Hope you have a wonderful day !!!

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 !!

Cup Cakes

Cup cakes anyone ?? I made these little cupcakes out of fabric , painted , stained , and dusted them with german glass glitter and topped with a pearl. I will be adding these to my Etsy site soon. They would be cute on a table setting with your china treasures or grouped together with other little ornaments.
