cauliflower crust pizza

I found this recipe through Pinterest, which is my newest networking obsession. That sounds funny to say in that lately I have been a real technology hater. Having so much information at our fingertips, it turns out that carrying on regular activities or conversations with people becomes impossible without everyone reaching for their own gadgets to check their messages, calendar, google something, search for an address, or cross check something or someone. What if we had to just talk about it until somewhere in the back of your brain, you actually REMEMBERED the name of that actor, without having to IMDB it?! That might just be too much of a mental workout! Better just google it. JFGI or GTS, if you will. I digress.
It's all about having this technology make your life easier, better, more fun, maybe even more efficient. So far, Pinterest is treating me right, by making it easier to do what I was doing anyway: collecting images, articles, and ideas and placing them into categories to easily find and review again later. And it's shared with your friends, thus the social aspect. Kinda cool.
Anyway, back to the recipe. It is from a blog called eat. drink. smile. I kinda screwed up the ratios from the get go, but it all turned out pretty well in the end. I will be making this flourless alternative again.

Edamame and Cauliflower Pasta Salad

I made this pasta salad yesterday afternoon (thanks Mona for the recommendation from the Kitchn blog), then got invited to an impromptu barbecue. Just  before I threw in the feta, I remembered that some vegan friends would be there. Up to that point, it was vegan. So I put the finishing touch of cheese in a baggie on the side, and showed up able to please we omnivores and the vegans.
I'm trying to work on my food styling. What do you think?

Veggies and burgers

I prepared 3 new veggie dishes and regular ol' beef burgers on the grill this weekend. Not a ton of cooking for me over the fantastic 3-day Memorial Day weekend. It was great to get a little yard work done, eat out, have bbq/drink/friend time, take in a walk here and there, watch some movies, take naps, etc. All in all a balanced, yet still full weekend!
The new dishes were:
Grilled Corn on the Cob with Spicy Chili Butter
Grilled romaine with guacamole dressing (from this month's Sunset magazine)
Grilled Cauliflower with Parmesan Butter
I will be making all of them again! All summer long. AND that spicy Chili Butter was super easy and tasted great on the cauliflower as well.
