Roasted Balsamic Cauliflower and Potatoes. I’ve never been a fan of cauliflower.
I just kind of thought of it as broccoli’s ghostly, tasteless cousin; a food that reminded me of hospital dinners and warmed over flavorless frozen veggie mixes. Man, was I wrong. Cauliflower haters, prepare for a change. I’m trying to get myself to eat more and different veggies, so I decided to give cauliflower another chance. Cauliflower, a winter vegetable that is in season from October to April, is packed with nutrients (despite its pale visage) and very low calorie, too.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Mexican food, and I love the idea of just browning a tortilla and putting some veggies on it for a little mid-afternoon morsel. Sometimes traditional tostadas use a fried tortilla, but I have found it’s faster (and healthier) to broil them or toast them in the toaster oven.
