Eat your cauliflower - it doesn't just taste good - it's good for yah! Interesting read

http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=13

<snip>
Information gathered for a large-scale study called the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) has shown cauliflower to be an especially popular cruciferous vegetable in 10 western European countries, tying for first place with cabbage for the vegetable consumed most frequently. Here is how cauliflower stacked up against other cruciferous vegetables as a percentage of all vegetables eaten: e cauliflower (25%); white cabbage (13%), and cabbage "unspecified" (12%). It is also interesting to compare cauliflower with broccoli in the study findings since cauliflower accounted for a greater percentage of total vegetable consumption than broccoli (18%).

Cooked carrots don't do it for me but a few might be acceptable and add a little color/sweetness.

It is funny but although I eat lots of raw cauliflower and some frozen, I hadn't actually cooked fresh cauliflower in years. Only started again about 10 years ago. I forgot how delicious and tender it is when fresh.

I shared an office with a black lady for a few years , whose family was ironically from about 20 mile away from mine in South Arkansas. She became a good friend and turned me on to using smoked Turkey legs with any type of greens. It is truly magical and actually better than smoked pork. It is just easier for me to find smoked pork products than turkey. Seems like overkill to fire up the smoker to do a few turkey parts.

Now when I smoke a turkey and use the carcass to make smoked turkey and Andouille gumbo...best thing you will ever eat!

Wed Aug 31, 2016, 05:13 PM
Aug 2016

incredibly, wonderfully delicious. Roasting brings out all sorts of flavors, majorly yum.

Seriously stupid easy to make.

4 servings
ACTIVE TIME 10 min
TOTAL TIME 45 min

INGREDIENTS

1 medium head cauliflower (2 1/2 to 3 pounds), cut into 1 1/2-inch-wide florets (8 cups)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

PREPARATION

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
Toss cauliflower with oil and salt in a large bowl. Spread in 1 layer in a large shallow baking pan (1 inch deep) and roast, stirring and turning over occasionally, until tender and golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes.

Yup, that simple. Loves it.

it!

Keeping sauces simple and pure, with real veg, real cheeses, seafood, ragus, etc, makes it excellent fuel for the body. Also, interestingly enough, tagliatelli has the lowest amount of carbs.

Carbs aren't the enemy. Artificial ingredients and gigantic portions are!

Rule of thumb, portions are no bigger than your fist, and average 100 grams, that goes for meat veg and sides.

Italians really do eat pasta every day for either lunch or evening meal, and the gorgeous people on the streets of Milan, Rome and Florence aren't obese! It's affordable and healthy too!

Although, I have to say that alternative forms of cauliflower that you mention are very interesting. Not sure I have the patience to get all fiddly these days though.

And that's just the noodles, it doesn't even take into account the weird, artificial and mysterious ingredients in the flavor packets.

We are a few weeks out, but it is nuttier than cauliflower. Roast it, with garlic, fresh oregano,olive oil with Parmesan.

It wasn't until I had grilled okra on a visit to Vietnam that I came to love it. The setting helped--on a restaurant patio on the river in Saigon. Plus they gave us hibachi grills and we cooked it ourselves on our table.

Now I love my slimy okra!

I love it fried. I love it pickled. I love it in stews. I have a feeling I will love it grilled even more...

Cauliflower cheese is awesome IMO. Admittedly, the stuff does give you gas, so it should be consumed in moderation. It is very nutritious, so everyone should try it once in a while.

in the world plus beginners diabetes. I am an old bachelor and don't like to spend a lot of time planning and preparing a meal. I started eating one huge crown of broccoli a day for a couple weeks and noticed I would feel better the next day. I didn't have the bloating I usually have at night and I just had a better overall feeling the next day. Nothing specific, jus a gerneral better feeling.

If you try it, don't look for anything big, just a better feeling of well being
