I took some of the leftovers from the 1st Batch of the Mixed Cooked Vegetables and leftover Roasted Cauliflower and made a salad.
Continuing to tackle the challenge of eating more vegetables I decided to start cooking more cauliflower. Years ago I had roasted cauliflower for the first time but it was topped with mayonnaise - not exactly healthy. I’ve seen quite a few recipes for roasted cauliflower and decided to see what I had in the house to throw together. I’ve used this as a side dish and I’ve also taken leftovers and added it to a salad.
1 large head of cauliflower chopped in ~1 inch pieces
2-3 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1-2 TBSP marjoram
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 TBSP pomegranate vinegar
2-3 TBSP diced parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix cauliflower, olive oil, marjoram, salt and pepper in a bowl. Spread onto a baking sheet (I line the sheet with foil). Bake for 20 min. Drizzle vinegar and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for another 5-8 minutes.
I have not been eating very many vegetables lately so I thought I'd try a different route. Decided to try a variety of cooked vegetables. This is the 1st group I cooked together. The vegetables tasted good. The next morning I took 1 cup of the vegetables and scrambled and egg with it. That was good.
1 TBSP Olive Oil
2 Cups Collard Greens
2 Cups carrots
2 Cups celery
2 cups bok choy
2 cups yellow squash
2 cups zucchini
2 cups mushrooms
Heat pan. Add olive oil. Add collard greens and cook until starting to wilt. Add carrots and celery. Cover and cook for about 5 min stirring occasionally. Add bok choy, cover and cook another 4 min, stirring occasionally. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and cook another 10 min or until desired consistency. Vegetables more soft than I like, won't cook as long next time.
I took what I could find in the fridge that sounded like it would be good and tossed it in the pan. Used the leftovers from this batch the same way I used with the 1st batch. I scrambled and egg with 1 cup of the mixture for breakfast and added romaine lettuce and roasted cauliflower to make a salad with the mixture for lunch.

Even though I liked the pizza that I made the other day with the chedder cheese, I thought I would try it with mozzarella cheese instead of chedder cheese and decided to add some fresh tomato. I liked it just as much.
1 whole grain English muffin
black olives (as many as you like)
2 slices of Roma tomato (each slice cut into 4 pieces)
8 slices of pepperoni (more or less depending on what you like)
Mozzarella cheese (for me, whatever will fit when stacked on top)
I split the English muffin in ½ where it was semi sliced and
toasted the English muffins in the toaster. I put each ½ middle side (the inside) up on a microwavable plate. I added a single layer of olives to
each ½ then added 4 pieces of tomato to each ½. I placed 4 pieces of pepperoni to each ½ and I pushed the
pepperoni down in the middle a little bit to make a little groove to put the
cheese in. Added the cheese then
microwaved until the cheese was melted.
