Bacon Roasted Cauliflower by Angela Roberts

Today in the parking lot of Trader Joe’s a woman drove up to me and stopped her car to tell me something. She rolled down her window and said, “you have beautiful hair, everything about it, even the color.”I was in shock. That’s never happened to me in my life, and it happened after I had already written this post. If you read further along you will know just how much a hair compliment means to me, even if I pay for the color.

When I was seven years old, my mother had my hair cut into one of those pixie cuts. I didn’t have her stick straight hair which may have worked with this cut.  I had more of my father’s coarse, curly hair, which shrinks up even shorter after it dries, and becomes wiry and anything but pixie-like. In the eyes of a seven year old girl who already felt like a big misfit, Cruella Scissorhands transformed my long, pretty waves into a Brillo pad adding further angst to my awkward grade school years. To make it worse, my grandmother was a hair stylist who decide a year later to give me a permanent. Perming short, wiry hair is like adding a tsunami to the 40 day flood.

Little did I know I would grow up to have the hair that most women can only get if they purchase hair extensions. I have natural super model hair, if and only if, someone knows how to style it. When cut short or blown dry in the wrong way, my super model mane becomes a wiry mess guaranteed to go horizontal and take a life of its own, because without length to weigh it down, it shrinks up, and looks like it’s ready to scrub your pans.

I don’t what my mother was thinking because there was never anything pixie about me. I was the tallest girl in the class and the second tallest of anyone. I hated being tall, I hated second grade and I really hated my hair, believing it put me at a disadvantage.

I learned early in life that Teachers never like the tall girl with very bad hair.

All women have bad hair days, but I had bad hair years, and  I grew up to believe nothing could be done, until I grew it out quite by accident in the sixth grade.

It was the first year of my life that I excelled in school and that the teacher liked me. I mean really liked me. Miss Lowe was her name and she told me I was pretty, which initially made me suspicious of her. Prior to age 11, during my bad hair years,  no one out side of blood relatives had ever called me pretty.

I am convinced to this day that if only someone had fixed my hair properly, my second, third and forth grade years would have been different, and I wouldn’t have been the girl who was always kept indoors writing out times tables during recess.

Our teachers always selected a little spy who would stand in the class when the teacher left the room with pencil and paper to take down names of anyone who talked. My name was always on that paper, and you can bet the little rat fink was always petite and had nice hair.  And, not only did Ms. Lowe tell me I was pretty, she told me I was smart, and she let me teach the class some math, because my bad hair guaranteed mastery in the times tables and a comfort with numbers.

What in the world does this have to do with bacon roasted cauliflower?

In the vegetable world, cauliflower has the same fate as a girl with bad hair. At first site, it’s not a very pretty vegetable. While I have made purple cauliflower here, it’s usually white and can even look rubbery. When boiled, it’s fairly tasteless and all too often served with some orange cheese sauce. Yuck.

Bacon Roasted Cauliflower by Angela Roberts

Cauliflower is  a wonderful treat, however, when one understands its texture and its potential.

To totally transform cauliflower into something that is a more star quality food, all one need do is roast is. There are so many possibilities for adding flavor,  and today I chose bacon.

I’m not a bacon groupie, but a piece of bacon cut up and roasted along with a head of cauliflower goes a long long way. Simply break the cauliflower up, toss with a little bit of oil, salt, pepper and a slice of bacon that has been cut up. It will cook right along with the cauliflower and render fat and flavor. Bacon roasted cauliflower is one way to give a little super model treatment.

    I am rather crazy about cauliflower and recently tested a recipe for Relish Magazine using cauliflower as the main ingredient in a pasta sauce. It was incredibly delicious and a great use of this often misunderstood vegetable! Your recipe sounds equally delicious and I cannot wait to try it.

    What a fun analogy! I loved the story.

    I’m not a bacon groupie either, but I keep a bag of crumbled bacon in the freezer (it’s lower fat and calories) and a spoonful goes a long way in lots of dishes to add a little smokiness and salt.

    i have naturally tightly spiraled curly hair + my mom made the grave mistake of cutting it super short all through elementary school, too. pretty much all of my elementary/middle school years were a hair disaster! luckily, i discovered the wonderful world of hair products, a diffuser + a blowdryer in high school, which changed my hair life forever. coincidentally, that’s about when i started liking cauliflower, too. great recipe, + great story!

    Love your hair story! I’ve always been envious of people with great hair but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do anything about it since my hair’s not naturally super model quality. Sadly. 🙁
    I love cauliflower though, doesn’t matter how it’s cooked. 😀 Your version sounds fantastic, how can it not when bacon’s involved too? 😛

    I is always nice to get complimented by random strangers… I had very straight hair as a kid and as a teen it started getting incredibly frizzy. Now, it’s just curly, but I miss my crazy hair.

    A lovely cauliflower dish!

    Cheers,

I hope you’re having the best Saturday you can have. I did a lot of early baking and now it’s me and Peaches watching the PBS Masterpiece Theater. I love my subscription to Acorn and Britbox, PBS. Anyone else an Acorn fan? I love Agatha Raisin, Deadwater fell, Doc Martin, Delicious, Nothing Trivial, 800 Words, The Heart Guy, Murdock Mysteries, A Place to Call Home, Poirot, Mount Pleasant, Father Brown. 
On Brit Box, the funniest show (and uplifting) I’ve ever seen is Mrs. Brown’s Boys. HIGHLY recommend that but beware of some swear words. (It’s Irish)

Taco Tuesday, even if you’re on keto! At first glance you would think you can’t eat this on a low carb diet. Think again. Fish fried with pork panko, sitting in my grain free tortillas (which you can buy in my bakery by the way). You can use a food processor to transform pork rinds into pork panko. I found the pork panko at costco (affordable, finally and they are life changing for a grain free diet).

We cannot control the crazy in our wold right now, but we can control what we eat. This spicy salmon is keto friendly with ground pork rinds giving crunch. Not only seriously delicious, but Omega 3 good for you. 
I choose healthy but I also choose pleasurable food. This is placed atop cauliflower rice and some nice white wine wouldn’t hurt either.  The spicy comes from Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce made with fermented  Calabrian chili peppers. It’s my new go to. EASY Recipe coming soon.

My most popular blog post is this New York Strip Steak, 185,000 times this year! And, I get the nicest comments about my method. It’s a pan sear and then to oven recipe, but the tips are what bring success. It’s not a reverse sear, which I’ve done with some other steaks, because I like that method with really thick steak. Strip steaks tend to be thinner and the sear and roast method keeps my steak medium rare. Salt and Pepper are my only seasonings…Maybe a bit of butter and thyme. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/new-york-strip-steak-recipe/

Tips for the Perfect Steak

* Salt the steak 24 hours in advance. It goes into the meat overnight, adds moisture and enhances flavor
* Don’t cover steaks in the fridge. The outside of the steak should be dry if you want to sear them. Put them on a rack so both sides dry.
* Make sure the steak is dry, before searing. When ready to cook, I used to think my steak needed to come down to room temperature, but I now find that I get a better sear  with a cold steak, as long as the steak is dry. It’s the water that comes out of the steak that prevents that nice sear, also known as the mallaird effect.
* Start with a very hot  cast iron pan.
* Do not add oil until pan is hot.
* Use a round grill press, if you can, but no worries if you don’t have one.

Happy New Year! Fingers crossed🤞🏼. Prayers said. 🙏🏻Celebrating today with carnitas and a black eyed peas dip. 👩🏻‍🍳Lucky black eyed peans mean prosperous. Eating pork is also something about pigs rooting forward. Growing up we ate pork and sauerkraut every New Years. 🥳Today it’s a little bit more modern. The black eyed peas is coupled with black beans, pickled red onion from @thekitchn, pickled jalapeño, cilantro, various bell pepper, lime juice avocado and plenty of salt. You must have the salt to awaken and balance the vinegar. Since last week’s Nashville bombing, my appetite was meh. Today is a new year and I’ve invited company and look forward to all the good every year has, no matter what. Helmet of salvation beats this earth stuff any day! (Recipe will come to the blog this week). SpinachTiger dot com reached 12 years!

Cheeseball and Peaches  have so enjoyed the lockdown this year! This is a rare moment when they are actually cuddling together. They cuddle people more. They have the large deck outside to roam. They race around chasing each other in the middle of the night and for them life is wonderful. Reflecting on the past year, I’m truly an optimist, even in 2020.  Many good things happened, shadowed by Covid fallout some because of Covid. The biggest down for me personally was the lack of adventure, connection, parties, dining out, inviting people over, talking to my customers face to face. These are not shallow things. They are the things that boost the immune system and prolong life. Bread and water shared with people trumps a huge feast eaten alone. So my happiest times this year have been with people I love and the getaway at my friend’s farm. Getting OUTSIDE without a mask, without fear has meant everything. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I pray for a lot of JOY for 2021, for as a believer, it’s never pitch dark.

How warped time is now. Three days ago, bombing in Nashville. FBI says solved. Life goes on. Power restored. Went to my usual Monday morning workout. HOWEVER, my brain and heart can’t catch up this fast. Taking a day to chill, process, and look at the big fat year ahead. Bakery owner, full-time food blogger. Thinking about what new doors to open, what doors I should shut. I’ll leave you with this. 2020 started off amazing! I scheduled my first bakery classes and was so gleeful to be able to make one of my dreams come true. In March they all had to be cancelled. The bakery grew during the lockdown! The blog took a major hit in ad dollars due to pandemic. The blog grew substantially in 4th quarter. The blog broke all $ records this month. The bakery closed for three weeks substantial exposure to Covid (taking care of those infected) I never got it! 34 year old sister in law (ex) died suddenly of pancreatic cancer six weeks after diagnosis in July. Her father died five months later. My step mother’s duties increased a bit due to this. She inherited $10,000 from a separate source. So like everyone else, its been up and down and up and down and I didn’t even mention politics, riots, etc. WOW! However, unlike most people, I’m going to call this the best year of my life and marriage. WHY? I started a prayer call in March, praying 4 to 5 days weekly. It has changed my life, my husband’s life and those who come to pray. It has meant EVERYTHING!  By the way this is a cake I never wrote about. Blackberry w lemon mascarpone. What is the ONE GREAT THING of 2020 you experienced?

Can food make you feel better? Sometimes. But it’s been a rough two days. Remember when I said on Christmas Eve, “may tomorrow be as nice as this day: That didn’t age well. What a time! Great little Christmas morning and then I looked at my phone. A BOMB exploded in downtown Nashville. 😡😢Even though I live miles away, our cell service is still not working. We lost internet and TV as did thousands in five states.  Doug ran to Comcast the next morning to get us a temporary account. The scary thing aside from a BOMB, is how vulnerable we are with no cell service or internet (AT & T) as it was all housed in one building with no back up plan. Did you know our infrastructure is this vulnerable? Many of us still can’t call 911 if we needed to. 🙁We are grateful no residents were harmed from the bomb. We still don’t know the “who” in the remains. We don’t know what to believe. 🤷🏻‍♀️I highly recommend watching the Netflix show, Manhunt Deadly Games (about Richard Jewell (falsely accused) and Eric Rudolph (the actual Centennial Park Bomber). Great insight into serial bombers, lone wolfs, and the FBI. 🙏🏻 for not just Nashville but for America.

Merry Christmas. 🎄In spite of all the bad that came with 2020, today was a good day. I found out my wonderful step mother unexpectedly inherited a nice sum of money which she needs badly and that made my heart sing. ❤️ I’m so thrilled when other people get good things they deserve. I was also thrilled with my two sour dough creations we had tonight👩🏻‍🍳. I am still baking from  Emilie Raffa’s Sourdough Made Simple book, and had to try the spinach dip stuffed braided loaf and the camembert wreath. 😋😋Both were HUGE hits, easy directions to follow and came out perfectly.  We had charcuterie, crab cakes, arugula salad and these breads. I think I may not eat again until next year. By the way those cute keto sugar cookies a few posts back were frozen and then brought out for today. Everyone loved them. I think they are even better after being frozen. 
May tomorrow be as nice as today! We all need a good day.

Make a true Christmas flavored slab pie with cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, nutmeg, orange, and cranberries. I was inspired to use these flavors watching the Great British Baking Show. I hope one day I get to England. It was supposed to be this year and we all know how that didn’t happen. Prayers and cheer to everyone here. May 2021 get us back to what we used to know. People, travel, breaking bread or eating slab pie together.
