I experimented in the kitchen last night for the first time in a long while. Inspired by this recipe, I cobbled together a strange creation that my daughter miraculously ate some of, so I must commemorate the occasion with a blog posting.
I boiled some russet potatoes for a while and then sliced them. In the meantime, I also stir-fried some small pieces of cauliflower (I could have roasted them but I was in a hurry) which I then pulsed in the Cuisinart with a little milk and some cheddar and Gorgonzola cheeses. (Could have gone lighter on the latter, but nobody seemed to mind.)
Finally, I put the slices of potato on a baking sheet, spread some of the cauliflower/cheese mixture on each one, and topped them off with pieces of fire-roasted peppers from a Trader Joe's jar and some panko bread crumbs. Baked them in the oven at 425 for... I dunno, a while, until the cheese melted and the crumbs browned slightly.
Mimi looked at them suspiciously for a while, but then started taking bites, first of ours, then of hers.
Cauliflower quite simply rocks it works so well in cheesy dishes and kids will eat it without noticing it!
Now I need to find a palatable recipe involving a green vegetable other than cucumber or avocado...
