Roasted Cauliflower

I seem to just keep gaining weight and can't stop it! I tend to eat a lot of carbs since they are easy on the tummy but they are not easy on the waistline. I can eat an entire bag of cauliflower and it's like no calories at all!

Preheat oven to 375.

One pound frozen (or fresh) slightly cooked cauliflower florets drained.

Stir in:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon margarine

When margarine is melted, add 3 tablespoons GF baking mix and salt to taste and toss.

Heat oven to 375.

Spread onto a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.

They get a little nutty and a little sweet.

Best yet!

If it is even possible, I got the best batch of English Muffins yet tonite!

Made a double batch for my Leonard to take to school. She is moving into campus apartment in FOUR DAYS!!!

Four days!

Saturday

Today was NOT the day I was hoping for.  First cookie recipe FAILED but I cut my losses and after two tries quit.  The second recipe (which is the one I thought would fail) worked and is yummy.  Nuts Like Me Bars are fun to make with someone else.  Possibly a window to connect with a teen in your house...  Mixing in the pan and forming the crust while someone else melts the topping is great for a team!  

I did make Angelic Cake again today and it does not disappoint!  Maybe tomorrow I will be up to another go at something.  

Nuts Like Me Bars

I am not sure the finely chopped peanuts are a good idea for me but these look sooo gooood!

1-1/2 cups GF baking mix
3/4 cup finely chopped dry roasted peanuts
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 cup melted margarine

Combine the above in 13x9 ungreased
pan. Press into bottom of pan. Bake in preheated 350 oven for 10 minutes or until golden on edges.

2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1/3 cup powdered sugar (Trader Joes is corn free)

Microwave chocolate and peanut butter until smooth. I will put on high for one minute then mix together so peanut butter is coating all the chips. Cook 30 seconds at a time and stir until smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix until smooth.

Spread chocolate mixture on top of warm crust and chill until chocolate sets. Cut and serve at room temperature or cold. I prefer cold!
