Like other cruciferous vegetables, cauliflower is an excellent source of phytonutrients and enzymes as well as vitamins C, K, B5, B6, folate fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. All great reasons to add this hearty veggie to your diet. Try this curried baked version and let me know what you think in the comments below.

Roasted Radishes

Ever buy some random grocery item that you need just a pinch of for one recipe only to watch it die a slow death in the back of your fridge? Unfortunately this was to be the fate of some leftover radishes I had bought as a topping for Pork Posole (which incidentally was delicious). I tried pawning them off on a client. Instead of taking them she suggested I roast them and offered this recipe.

Thanks Marnie!
