My Favorite Cooked Veggie: Roasted Cauliflower

I love raw veggies, but I also love having cooked veggies and my favorite is this roasted cauliflower. It's easy to make and super delicious!

Roasted Cauliflower 

Ingredients:

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets 
  • 1/2 yellow or white onion, diced
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp vinegar (I used red wine)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Cut and prepare all veggies and mince garlic. Mix veggies with vinegar and add salt and pepper to taste. 


2. Roast in oven at 400 degrees until soft and starts to get crispy about 30-40 minutes. 


3. Serve and enjoy! 

My favorite way to enjoy this is with tahini sauce, although it tastes great by itself as well! 


Happy Tuesday! I hope you eat some great veggies today!

Peach Kale Salad with Cheezy Dijon Dressing

When watching JL Fields' video for Vegan MoFo today I learned that is the first ever International Day of Kale! So...happy kale day! I love kale, love it, and so I thought I would honor the day by making a new massaged kale salad! To learn more about massaging kale, check out my first post on this, which you can find here!

Today, I made a kale salad massaged with a cheezy dijon dressing and topped with peach slices, red onion, and almonds! More below!
