One day, while I was grocery shopping, I saw these ‘rainbow’ carrots. They were carrots of different color. It piqued my interest and I bought a bag. The lighter colored one was not as sweet and had a mild taste of radish. You could make this with regular carrots too. It is really easy to…

Cauliflower Steak
This is a really simple dish that looks like you spent a lot of time. Makes a great side or a main. I served it with tomato chutney, sun dried tomato pesto and yogurt sprinkled with some spices. I roasted this on the oven but you can roast it on a grill or a pan….
