Have you ever heard of cauliflower bhaji? Sometimes weekdays can be tricky for preparing fresh whole food dinners. This probably isn’t news to most readers. But then, sometimes, those rushed days, when all you have are some bits and pieces of vegetables and random bags of beans and grains, end up producing the most memorable dinners. This cauliflower bhaji with spinach is a perfect example. It is extremely simple to make and it tastes great!
Saffron Riced Cauliflower
The other day I picked up a bag of “riced cauliflower” at the market, for the first time. I have been playing around with it, both hot and as a raw salad, with delightful results. In fact, the other day I posted a candid quickie of a raw riced cauliflower salad I had created for lunch, that invoked such a positive response in the social media world, I have decided to do two “riced cauliflower” recipes in a row on here. First though, I want to share this extremely simple recipe that brings saffron into the picture. The cruciferous personality of cauliflower, both in taste and smell, seems to blend extremely well with the distinctive flavor and aroma of saffron. I enjoyed this with some seared wild tuna but you could easily add in some legumes, sprouts, and-or vegetables for a vegan entree.

You can keep your creamy, comforting stroll down memory lane while also avoiding the bad and promoting awesome, clean nutrition. This soup is very easy to make and is also great as a cold vichyssoise style soup if you have leftovers. The salsa is a tangy compliment that offers extra rich flavor in the truffle oil, but also completely optional. Read More

It’s hard to overlook cauliflower’s recent rise to food fame. It seems like everyone is going bananas for this cruciferous, that until now has endured a long reputation as a pretty boring vegetable. It’s because cauliflower is undeniably and extremely good for you, and therefore, more and more people are looking at ways to bring cauliflower to the forefront of their dinner plates. But what happens when you just want a good old taco? Can cauliflower hold up to carne asada, carnitas, or shrimp? Well, I gave it a whirl last night and it came out pretty yummy. Check out this vegan spin-off of the Baja style shrimp taco and decide for yourself.
