We did awesome with our eating today. We even had a vegetarian dinner that everyone ate so well - even Justin who had 2 helpings!! We had whole wheat pasta with sun dried tomatoes, zucchini, and beans. It really was delicious, and even I was a tad skeptical. We also had a salad and roasted cauliflower. I want to pass this cauliflower recipe along because it is so easy and I seriously love it. I got it from Stacey Snacks. I am always looking for a new, healthy way to cook veggies and roasting is my new fave.

Take your cauliflower florets and spread it out on a baking sheet. Lightly drizzle it with olive oil. Then I toss it around so that it all gets lightly coated in the olive oil. Then sprinkle it with kosher salt and pepper. Pop it in the oven at 425 degrees for around 20-30 minutes. You want it to start to brown on the top. I really like mine to be really roasted, so I leave it in closer to 30 minutes. When you get it out, add some capers to it, and lightly sprinkle it with grated parmesan and red pepper flakes. This is DELISH! If it is too dry when you get it out of the oven, you could add a little more olive oil, but I never need to . One week ago I would have told you that I HATED cauliflower. But now I crave this because it is so good!

Still cold, dark, and dreary here. Yuck. Ready for some sun. I had Bible study this morning. Love it. My goal of reading the Bible is going so well. I have spent devoted time focusing on it every day since I started and I am still doing two days worth of reading each day until I am caught up to where I am supposed to be for the year. It has kind of surprised me how focused I can get. I have always been worried that I would be bored and unable to pay attention while reading the Bible, but that has not at all been the case.
