Things I Love: Thankful Tuesdays

Tuesdays don't just have to be for tacos, although you'll never see me turn down a Taco Tuesday. Yesterday I was feeling inspired so I made a lemon Rosemary roasted chicken, roasted brussel sprouts (over cooked-- fail) and mashed cauliflower. Quite the nice Tuesday nigh dinner I have to say. And a loaf Semifreddi's bread always helps.

The brussels before I ruined them. No wonder they get a bad name!

All together.

I was very thankful this Tuesday for all that I have to be grateful for. Cheers!

  7. Erinn- yes I have continued to eat meat since I got sick. I would say about once or twice a week.

    I molded my mashed cauliflower on this recipe:

    But I didn't have Parmesan and I added about a half cup of greek yogurt and chives.

  10. That meal looks fantastic! I had brussels last night for dinner (Trader Joe's has these ones that you microwave but I sautee with olive oil - fool proof) and I make a similar cauliflower mash which is my fave. Thanks for the idea to use greek yogurt! Brilliant!

    I basted the chicken often with it's own juices, then drained all the fat out after.
