I'm sorry I've been a bad little blogger. Until recently though I haven't cooked anything worth posting (that's what happens when the house is 100F+, no complaining though I love summer) and now I'm back to cooking in bulk to make the next 2 weeks worth of dishes for my little side job. On the menu:
- Almond crusted chicken breast
- Mashed sweet potatoes
- Basil and garlic mashed cauliflower
- Mushroom and steak stew
- Beef enchiladas
- Bacon broccoli chicken salad
- Squash breakfast "lasagna"
I don't have a picture for you of the mashed cauliflower but it's a delicious and simple recipe:
Basil and Garlic Mashed Cauliflower
2 heads of cauliflower
1 tablespoon basil
1 tablespoon garlic
1/2 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk (rough estimate)
1 tablespoon (?) olive oil (just enough to lightly brush the tops of your cauliflower)
Preheat oven to 425F. Wash and roughly chop your cauliflower away from its stalk. Take all your little trees and throw them on a cookie sheet covered in aluminum foil and sprayed with olive oil non stick spray. Spritz your cauliflower with a little olive oil, using a basting brush if you don't have a "Misto" or some way to spray the olive oil. Dust with your spices. Bake for roughly 25-30 min or until the cauliflower forks tender and is a little brown on top. Allow to cool and then mash it up your food processor (or blender) in little batches (or if you're feeling frisky do so by hand with a potato masher). Add just enough milk to get it to puree smooth to your desired consistency. Remove from food processor and add to sauce pan on medium heat until hot again- enjoy!
