  1. Followed this recipe right along, using 6 fingerling potatoes & it was great! We do love cauliflower around here, so now I've found another wonderful way to prepare it, thanks to your recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this fall's round of Pick A Chef]
     
  2. I searched for a recipe to use up some cauliflower and fingerling potatoes I had in the fridge and found this. We aren't vegetarians, but I hadn't thawed any meat and it was getting late, so when I saw this I thought it would be great as a meal with hummus and pitas. I just happened to have some pitas and a can of garbanzo beans, so while the veggies were roasting I made hummus (without tahini, because I don't have any), and grilled the pitas on my stovetop grill, then brushed them with butter I bought already flavored with garlic and basil. I also made up some Greek yogurt with a Simply Organic Mediterranean herb dip mix for on top of the veggies or to dip baby carrots in (I posted a pic of our meal- it was delicious and we didn't miss the meat at all!) The only changes I made were that I had no lemon pepper, so I used lemon juice concentrate and black pepper, plus I added garlic and onion powders besides the other spices in the recipe. All three of my kids, plus one of their friends, my husband and I all gobbled it up! :-) Delicious- I will definitely make this again!
