    Herbed Roasted Whole Cauliflower

    November 26, 2015 by Wendy 1 Comment

    I can’t express how stoked I am to post this recipe! I love finding unique ways to cook vegetables, and this recipe right here is a winner on so many levels. All you need to do is spread the herb mix onto the cauliflower, pop in the oven, and (wah-lah) you have a beautiful golden bundle of joy. This recipe yields 8 servings, which makes it great for family dinners and potlucks. You can slice it up in wedges and enjoy as a side dish, or you can cut it up into florets and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.

    The cauliflower provides a hefty dose of vitamin C and the peas provide plenty of vitamin K.   Cauliflower is super versatile, which makes it an excellent kitchen staple.  Cauliflower is best in season during the summer months, but you can always find it in your supermarket.  Cauliflower is also an excellent source of vitamin C as well as folate and potassium.

    IMG_2227Begin by cutting the leaves off of the cauliflower.  In a bowl, mix up the yogurt with some paprika, black pepper, curry powder, cayenne, and a touch of salt.  Place the cauliflower on a roasting pan and spread the yogurt mix all over the the cauliflower head.  Bake it at 400F for about 30-40 minutes.  Once it has a slight crisp, this dish is ready to be enjoyed!

    The cauliflower has all the flavor and all the nutrients.  Enjoy as a side or a main dish.  How do you like the flavor of this recipe? Let us know in the comments section below! Happy cooking! xo

    Garlic and White Wine Tofu Pasta

    September 30, 2011 by Jessica Leave a Comment

    pasta-saladStart this dish by boiling a pot of water to cook your whole wheat pasta.  While this is cooking, peel your garlic and add all of the cloves to a food processor or a blender. Toss in a tablespoon of olive oil and blend it all until it is a paste.  Chop the onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, and tofu into small pieces.  Heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.  Saute the veggies for a few minutes and add in the tofu.  Add the tomato sauce and white wine.  Next, add in a couple of  tablespoons of the garlic puree, depending on how much garlic you like.  Cook this up for about five minutes.  Add in some thyme, oregano, and pepper.  Feel free to throw in a pinch of salt if you need it, but I liked it totally fine without any added salt.  Pour this sauce over your pasta.

    Try not to eat this before your meeting with your boss or keep that mint gum on hand if you do.  This dish is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal and keeps well in the refrigerator for leftovers.  What do you think about adding tofu to your pasta? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
