Roasted Cauliflower with Red Pepper

This week I tried Cauliflower in a new way that has saved this vegetable for me.  I don't cook it much, because I haven't ever truly LOVED it.  After pulling this out of the oven and we were all fighting over the last of it - it will definitely be making it's way back into our diet!
This is so simple and super easy.  It would be good as a side, however we had it for an afternoon snack.
All you need is:
Olive Oil
Sea Salt
1 head of Cauliflower
Red Pepper Flakes
On a rimmed cookie sheet (I lined mine with foil or parchment) lay out your Cauliflower florets evenly. Drizzle them with Olive Oil, and salt well with Sea Salt then stir to coat.
Place them in a 425 degree oven to roast for 25 minutes.  Stir them about every 7 minutes for even browning.
Once they are done, sprinkle them with as much or as little Red Pepper Flakes as you like!  Delicious!
PS - this has been kid and babysitter approved at our house! They all loved it!

Yogurt and Berries with Chocolate Granola

One of my all time favorite lite breakfast meals, or snacks would be a bowl of vanilla yogurt with strawberries and blueberries.  This is so yummy and when you are trying to just make healthier choices, you can feel good about this one.  The indulgent part of this for me is the chocolate granola.  The best place to find it is Central Market or Market Street.  Trader Joes probably has this as well, however - I haven't ever been to one.
I go and just stock up on it, when Im near one of those stores.

Enjoy!
