  • roasted cauliflower is my new favorite thing!. Who knew that some oven time makes nasty cauliflower…sweet!?!?

    I did olive oil and TJ’s lemon pepper grinder, which also has salt and onion in it, and it was SO GOOD! About halfway through I also tossed in some asparagus and green beans to roast, and was very happy to enjoy this mishmash with a sun-dried tomato chicken sausage and a half serving of whole wheat pasta.

    Thanks guys!! You always come through for me :)

  • Problem with meals…. Ok, I’m not sure if this is a post for DIFO or for the LTR forum, but I’ll try here first…

    I have a big problem with my meals and my BF. I live with two guys, one that eats by himself and eats healthy and the other, my BF, that would rather have fast food 24/7 then a healthy cooked meal. I for one, love to cook and try to eat nutritious meals. Somehow he doesn’t want this and just wants his food fast, he doesn’t like that I get home from work and take my time getting settled in and then start to cook. I’ve done the crock pot meals, I’ve tried persuading him into home cooked meals, but his constant nagging and complaining that he is hungry and wants his food NOW is driving me nuts! I then sometimes fall off the wagon just so I give in to his crying.

    He doesn’t cook and if he does (his once a year sausage and pasta binge that he thinks is just fabulous) I don’t complain but how do I get him to be more open to the home cooked meal? I also pay for every meal, so I thought that gave me the right to choose the meal. I stock the freezer with veggies and the fridge with fresh veggies, lunch meats, cottage cheese, string cheese and other quick snacks for him but its never satisfying enough for him. Even the frozen meals aren’t enough. Is this a food issue you think or a personal issue? I have always prefered a home cooked meal to a quick greasy meal.

    Any thoughts DIFO?! I value and respect everyone’s opinions here! Sorry that its a long one too!

    Thank you!
