Good Food Good Friends - Roasted Parmesan Cauliflower

-


Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday and it is just around the corner!   Why is it my favorite?  First, it is an opportunity for me to reflect on all the good in my life and be thankful.  Thankful for my family, friends, good health, and another day to celebrate just being here!  Second , it is the one day of the year that I get to eat the most delicious foods and nibble all day long if I choose!  It is also my birthday.  I was born the day before and this year it falls that way again.  At my age, I am past needing recognition of my day, parties, cakes, presents, though they are very much appreciated if they do happen to come my way.  Just so happy to be starting another year!  Wishing you all a blessed Thanksgiving filled with peace, joy and love.


Our vegetable this week in our GRGF group is cauliflower.  I was excited because it is one of my favorites.  I made a very simple recipe and it was oh so mouth watering good.   Roasted in the oven in my Le Creuset cast iron dutch oven.  I am sure any oven proof pot with a lid would be fine.

Our next vegetable in this group will be cabbage and we will post about it on December 4th.   If you would like to join our group leave a message below.  Our current members are:

Recipe:

One head cauliflower, leaves removed
3T. Olive oil
2 T. Dijon mustard
4-5 garlic cloves
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup white wine
1 teas. Italian seasoning
Sea salt and black pepper
Parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400F. 
  • In a small bowl, whisk the Olive Oil with garlic and seasonings.
  • Brush the cauliflower all over with the garlic oil mixture, then place it into a dutch oven pot or baking dish. Pour in the broth and wine, then place the lid on or cover and transfer it to the oven.
  • Bake/roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then take the lid off, baste with liquid, sprinkle parmesan on top, and bake for additional 10-12 minutes until cauliflower is fork tender.

THIS does look good. I am expecting a large cauliflower in my next Misfits box. This is how it will be used. So super simple

I love that this dish looks easy without a lot of prep time. Roasted vegetables are always so good; I must try this.

Such a fun thing that your birthday is around a holiday. Your cauliflower looks so beautiful. I would love to have that served to me...I will get a head of cauliflower on the next shopping trip and give it a go. Thanks!

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

-

This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes. ...

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc...

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to...
