We are still doing a lot of healthy eating. I have not had time to post a lot of new recipes, besides I don't like posting recipes unless I can share the actual recipe with my readers. I am going to start now looking for less main dishes and focus on side dishes and desserts. I've tried so many main dish meals that I know which ones I really like and we can start recycling them.
My sister told me about a recipe that she does to make cauliflower and broccoli more appealing to kids. Instead of serving fresh or steamed broccoli or cauliflower, she suggested to take head of either ( I chose cauliflower) and break it up into pieces. Put it in a container and toss it with some olive oil and salt. Then, bake it at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or so. I ended up turning the cauliflower about half way through because it started to get too brown on some sides. This is a dish that you'll really have to watch so it does not burn. Anyway, the dish was a pretty good. The cauliflower got soft but not mushy and almost had a "fried" taste like french fries. It is worth a try in making it.
As you know, I am always talking about how whole grains and whole wheats are better for us than white flour. I found this recipe booklet put out by the Gold Medal flour company that contains several whole wheat recipes that look quite interesting.
My goal is to find some more yummy recipes with you all. In the meantime, if you happen to find a recipe, food idea, health tip, etc... that you want to share, please put it in a comment or email me and I'll post it.
