- 8 cups 1-inch-thick slices cauliflower florets, (about 1 large head; see Tip)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Toss cauliflower, oil, marjoram, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast until starting to soften and brown on the bottom, 15 to 20 minutes. Toss the cauliflower with vinegar and sprinkle with cheese. Return to the oven and roast until the cheese is melted and any moisture has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes more.
- Tip: To prepare florets from a whole head of cauliflower, remove outer leaves. Slice off the thick stem. With the head upside down and holding a knife at a 45° angle, slice into the smaller stems with a circular motion—removing a “plug" from the center of the head. Break or cut florets into the desired size.

Thanks Lyn,
I'll give it a try. The tin-foil tent should keep it moist.

I put the fish in aluminum foil mix a little digon mustard and white wine put it on top and close. (like a envelope packet). Cook 350 for 15 - 20 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes fish should take good and be moist and tender.

Topic: RE: Anyone familiar with Quark and know of any recipes for it?
funny but i had a friend come home from a trip to germany and she said its really good also. I have seen recipes..like putting milk/cream in the oven overnight at like 250 degrees (have to google the recipe i am guessing here on what i saw) then the next 24 hours letting it drip. It needs an incubation period of warmth and then letting it drip all the liquid out kind of like you do with regular yogurt to get greek yogurt.

I just looked it again - 4g of fat in a cup.
I love making pudding pops this way. Just remember to freeze them. The only way they set up. I heard you can make regular pudding with almond milk if you buy the cook & serve, but I honestly have not tried it. I just freeze the regular instant pudding - then let it thaw for about 5-10 minutes on the counter and it is a great cold treat :)

Your awesome. Thank you so much for your kindness. I am off to the store to buy some Almond milk. Do you kinow how much fat ther eis? not that it really matter because all the other numbers are so overwhelming.. I am so excited.

I personally use Blue Diamond Almond Unsweetened Vanilla. It has 40 calories in a cup - and 1 carb. I know if you get the sweetened the calories go up - unfortunately I don't know the info on that.
The skim milk I have in my fridge is 86 calories per cup and 12 carbs each - so making it with almond milk and using 2 cups is still less calories and carbs. I have used the unsweetened original almond flaovr as well - both taste great.

Oh yes....Thank you for that great idea. I am going to make that today. Can you tell me what is the difference in calories and carbs with Almond milk. I have never tryed it but I would think it taste good but would be higher calories.
Topic: RE: Chocolate Pudding
I haven't tried it that way. I have however made sf/ff pudding with almond milk and a scoop of protein powder - then I freeze them into pudding pops.
(The instant pudding doesn't thicken right with soy milk or almond milk).
