Roasted Cauliflower Bisque

Cauliflower is now being touted as the new Kale ~ for folks that haven't warmed up to the texture and flavor of kale, this is good news.  Cauliflower tends to take on the flavor of what it's paired with.  It's also extremely versatile; you can bake, broil, boil, steam, rice, saute, mix with just about anything or enjoy it raw.  I chose to prepare a simple bisque with the head of cauliflower I had in my refrigerator.  It's light and has a lovely mild flavor.  You could add cheese, veggies or a protein to add a little zip to this bisque. "The flavor of roasted cauliflower is wonderful!" 

Fresh Tomato, Feta, and Spinach Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti squash is such a great alternative to pasta; especially for the gluten free folks. This recipe combines fresh spinach and tomatoes with, my favorite, feta cheese in a roasted spaghetti squash.  It's light, fresh and full of flavor.  
"Fresh and Flavorful!"
