RECIPES:

SPINACH AND CAULIFLOWER MAC AND CHEESE – Cut your cauliflower and boil until tender but not mushy. Drain and season with salt and pepper. In a food processor combine spinach, parsley, and some milk, set aside this mixture. In a large pot make a roux with some butter, flour and then add in some milk, garlic and onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper and mix until smooth, add in some shredded cheddar cheese and cook until combined and smooth then add in your spinach mixture. Coat your cauliflower with the is sauce and put in a casserole dish and top with some more shredded cheddar cheese and broil until the cheesy is crispy on top.

MUSHROOM QUESADILLAS – I absolutely love mushrooms – I know not for everyone so when we do quesadillas at our house, I have different options . . . shredded chicken, beef, etc. In a skillet, cook some chopped cremini (baby bella) and chopped white mushrooms in olive oil and add in some fresh minced rosemary and thyme, season with salt and pepper and cook until soft and tender. Remove the mushrooms, scrape skillet clean, add some more olive oil and put your tortilla down (I like whole wheat but you can use white flour too), put some thinly sliced brie cheese down (brie gives it such a gooey cheesiness that I love) and then top with arugula (this will add a pepper taste) then put down some of your mushrooms and drizzle some hot honey on top, fold over your tortilla and cook on both sides for a couple minutes until golden brown or until cheese is melted.
