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.
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 MoreOh Sriracha, how I love you. It's very true I do. Really I like almost everything spicy. So I said to myself, "Why not spicy sweet potatoes?". Considering I bought sriracha at the store that day, and I was surrounded by people who are mildly obsessed with it, I put it on sweet potatoes. And these special guys were born. Ha! Hopefully I'm a better cook than story teller. Anywho, these are simple, spicy, sweet, and delish. They go great with burgers, chicken, and probably a million other things I can sit here and list. But that would get boring, so I'll let you think about what else you want to pair them with all on your own. I know I'm a huge help aren't I?
