Recently I noticed that there are a whole lotta cauliflower recipes on this blog. Why? Maybe because it's a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be used as a side dish or an entree, even as a substitute for rice or a pizza crust, but most likely because I am about 80% Eastern European and cabbage and cabbage-adjacent veggies are the food of my people. My childhood was fairly cruciferous. (Cruciferous refers to the cross-shaped flowers of many members of the cabbage family. Also, I was raised Roman Catholic, so....) Boil-in-bag broccoli in cheese sauce was always a big hit upstairs in our apartment. Downstairs, Grandma cooked cabbage in any number of ways, with and without pork products and other vegetables....
The food pyramid for those over 70 usually emphasize a diet which is primarily plant-based and includes a variety of vegetables, fruits, and grains. But how much do we really know about them? What are the various health benefits and how can we best prepare them for ourselves and our families? I have been wondering about this since reading that three of the plant-based foods – namely legumes, pulses, and beans – have been linked to longevity. This got my attention!

Once the oven is done preheating, place...
Do you ever find yourself dragging your feet through the grocery store, staring blankly at the shelves with absolutely no meal plan in mind? What about tossing leftover ingredients because all you needed was a handful for that one recipe? If so, same. Meal planning and grocery shopping are not our favorite chores, and it’s especially difficult when you’re only cooking for one or two people. But luckily, you don’t have to plan out an entire week’s worth of meals every time you hit the grocery store. The key is to create a flexible grocery list that can adapt to your needs and wants for the week. By sticking to a basic framework every week, grocery shopping requires much less...
