Mmmm…cauliflower! So I know there is a whole big movement to replace carbs with cauliflower. But it’s not just hype! It actually totally works. Now, if you’re expecting that cauliflower pizza crust is going to taste EXACTLY like pizza you’ll get at your favorite restaurant, well, then you’re going to be disappointed. But, I still think cauliflower is a great substitute.

Remember as a kid, when you thought Brussels sprouts were totally disgusting? Well, at least I did. I remember watching cartoons and tv shows as a kid, they’d talk about how disgusting Brussels are. Then I grew up, learned how to roast them to perfection, and realized Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables. I especially love Brussels with balsamic glaze.

It’s citrus season in California. Our farmer’s market has been brimming with all different types of oranges. Originally, I tried a different recipe to create a blood orange polenta cake, but it didn’t turn out so well. The texture was off, or at least, I wasn’t a fan. Then I found this orange polenta olive oil cake and thought it sounded like a winner. Sure enough, it turned out so much better than the first one.

Last week, I mentioned how excited I am to have a lemon tree in our yard. I shared 5 of my favorite lemon recipes, and I’ve been contemplating what to make next. When I saw this glazed lemon cookies recipe, I knew it was something I wanted to try. I’m such a fan of a vibrant lemon flavor. I love that this recipe calls for so much fresh lemon juice and zest.

Moving back to California, one of the things I looked most forward to was all of the produce. I had no idea that I would actually find a lemon tree, with ripe lemons, in my yard! The first day we arrived, my kids were super excited to see the vibrant yellow lemons hanging, very ripely, from the tree off of our patio.
