It is rare that I take a day to do nothing. It's not really nothing, but it means stay in pj's, make some good coffee, read a book, catch up on tv.
Since I'm home, and don't want to spend the day snacking when I get bored, I figured I'd see what I have to cook up. With 2 small heads of cauliflower, some vegan cheese, fresh parsley and a lemon I decided to make a vegan cauliflower au gratin.
I washed and chopped 2 small heads of cauliflower, and topped them with a small handful of fresh, chopped parsley. I then sprayed it generously with baking spray (olive oil would be better) and the juice of one big lemon.
I put all of that in to roast at 450 degrees. Once it started to crisp, I removed it, sprayed more baking spray (again, olive oil would add more flavor but I was trying to avoid the calories today) and sprinkled nutritional yeast over the top (maybe 2 TBSP) for a pop of B12, and then sprinkled a half cup of Daiya shredded cheddar. I kept it going until the cauliflower was tender and the cheese was browning. So healthy and delicious and a nice twist! Next time I may steam and purée the cauliflower and then bake it with the lemon, parsley, nutritional yeast, olive oil and cheese...yummy and gooey...
