New Beginnings: Day 72

Had a snow shower this morning so I decided to run outside and take a picture of our beautiful Magnolia tree in bloom before it was too late (feature pic).  Absolutely love the bloom of the Magnolia, instantly lifts my spirits.

Decided to have some fun with a head of cauliflower today and lost my blender in the process.  A blender that I have had for over 15 years.  It was given to us as a wedding present!  I probably used it the most in the last two months than I have in all past years combined.  RIP KitchenAid:

   
I started off baking a head of cauliflower and then making a purée with cashews for lunch:

   

From there I decided to add garlic and tofu,and soy milk to the cauliflower purée  to get the consistency of an Alfredo style sauce for dinner.  Served over spinach linguine:

 
Good day spent in the kitchen today.  I really enjoy focusing on a star ingredient, like today with the cauliflower, and seeing what I can do with it as one idea merges into another.  I also saved some of the sauce to make eggplant rolintini.   I’ll say it time after time; “I love it when a plan comes together” Mr. T 

Am grateful for Spring, new opportunities, family & friends.
