This cauliflower is delicious! I know, I know I may think that about everything, but it's good, I promise! The good thing about this side dish is, it goes with everything! And that to me is one of the key factors in a good side. You roast the head whole, so it does take some time, but it's super simple and completely rewarding.

Either way I'm helping you guys right now, got it? Great! In all seriousness, if you're sick of the whole brown sugar, marshmallow, tons of butter, sweet potato shenanigans, here's a new route for you to go. It's still a casserole, a play on a scalloped/ au gratin potatoes, with a tiny kick thanks to a chili pepper. It's not hard, and it's good, which for me is always a staple recipe on a holiday (or any day) when you have a million other things to do.
Read MoreIf you have a garden then you are probably aware of some common phrases I use this time of year. Like "A cucumber a day!", "We need to have zucchini for dinner, the fridge can't fit anymore." , "Anyone need any tomatoes, I can drop some off". I love my garden, I really do but sometimes you need to create new things out of what the garden produces everyday! Enter pickles!, they are the easiest way to use up some cucumbers and pretend they aren't cucumbers. Plus they can live in the fridge for a month or so, they happened to be the perfect option when you are overwhelmed.

The salsa that comes to the table is so much better than salsa that was sitting on the shelf at the grocery store, no one can deny it. I easily eat a serving by myself. Well people I have news for you! You can make it, and it's so simple.
Read MoreI love brussel sprouts these days. I wouldn't have said that about 2 years ago, but the more I eat them the more I want them. Here is a basic way to make them. I truly believe everyone should give them a chance, these little guys get a bad rap. But they are wonderful when done right....Sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs to find a prince!
Read MoreI enjoy a caesar salad here and there, but I do not enjoy eating a salad with more calories than french fries. If I wanted that many calories I'd eat the french fries. So I bring to you a little bit lighter caesar dressing. It still has cheese and some mayo, but gets tons of flavor from other ingredients, and some creaminess from plain greek yogurt.
