Cauliflower and Broccoli With Roasted Garlic
"This recipe comes from Williams-Sonoma with some modifications. It is for the true garlic lover. The original recipe does not call for the chili oil. That is my personal taste preference. If you don't have the chili oil, it can be done with regular oil. If you use the chili oil you will need only 2 teaspoons of the olive oil for roasting the garlic."

This was a nice change of pace. I used one large head of garlic and would use even 2 large heads next time. After roasting the garlic, I cut the larger cloves in half. I didn't use the chili oil and I did let the veggies cook till they browned slightly. -
This was a great dish and easy to make. A wonderful change from plain old steamed vegetables!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
