#TBT Recipe: Roasted Cauliflower with Pomegranate
Way, way, back in the beginning of this blog I used to do pro football predictions. To tie it in with the site, I spun a fruit or vegetable to pick winners of the games. Don’t laugh – those essentially random predictions often beat a panel of ESPN experts. If I chose more winners than the produce, I would feature it in a recipe or two.
Head over to the grocery store and get the ingredients NOW – the stuff is in-season, fresh, and cheap. I’ve made this three times and the past couple weeks and it’s one of my favorites.
The original post had this picture of my friend Amber doing a Tebow on top of someone doing a plank, both in old-school workout attire.
I’m including it here because it still makes me laugh when I see it. And also because she’s a television personality in San Diego, home of the Chargers team that managed to lose to my Chicago Bears last night. Not an easy feat.
