Over the past week I tried a few new recipes, some worked and some didn't. Cauliflower is all the rage these days, so I hear. Whether it's cauliflower crust or cauliflower mashed potatoes it is having its moment in the sun.
Smitten Kitchen posted a
Cauliflower Cheese recipe. It originates in England and is a "healthier" version of macaroni and cheese. My ratio was off and the cheese sauce overwhelmed the cauliflower. It was good, but really decadent and Ian and I felt enormous afterward.
To counterbalance the Cauliflower Cheese I made these
Skinny Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins from Ambitious Kitchen. These are a hit around the Rogers household. They use wheat flour, yogurt and honey and taste like a million bucks. A great, quick recipe for breakfast during the week.
Lastly, I have been eyeing this
Skillet Apple Cobbler from A Couple Cooks and made it this weekend to usher in fall belatedly. I used Honey Crisp apples, but I think this would be better served with a tart apple. The topping is semi healthy and pretty easy. I would definitely make this again. It makes the house smell incredible.
