Cauliflower and Consistency
I really do. They claim to have invented the chicken sandwich and I remember laughing when I read that. Really? How do you “invent” a sandwich? Certainly, someone somewhere had put chicken between bread at some point before Chick-fil-A did it. Then, it happened. I tried one. It made me believe. Truett Cathey is a mastermind and he invented the chicken sandwich.
However! Those sandwiches keep my dresses from fitting the way I’d like them to. I haven’t been working out as much as I used to so that means I have to eat lighter or I will get heavier.
Here’s where the cauliflower comes in. We all know vegetables have little to no calories so when I need to reign the weight back in, I stock up.
And we know eating vegetables is good for us and those things that we should do aren’t always what we want to do. That’s where the spices come in. If I’m going to eat it, it cannot be bland.
I dusted this cauliflower with some hot paprika that I found at the farmer’s market. That transformed the colorless little florets into a spicy, smokey treat.

- 1 head cauliflower
- smoked paprika
- garlic salt
- olive oil
- Use a knife to break down the cauliflower. Cut the florets apart. Spread on a baking sheet and dust with paprika and garlic salt. Then, drizzle with olive oil. Using your hands, rub the spices and oil into the veggies. Bake at 425 for about 20 minutes.
