Roasted Cauliflower and Tomatoes


This recipe was inspired by the beautiful veggies available at the Cooperstown Farmers Market and my husband's love of cauliflower dipped in cocktail sauce.

Roasted Cauliflower and Tomatoes with Horseradish
  • In a large bowl, mix 1/4 cup of prepared horseradish with 1/4 cup olive oil and salt and pepper to taste
  • Cut one small head of cauliflower and two good sized tomatoes into bite sized pieces, add to your bowl of seasoning and oil and mix well
  • Put everything in a glass 9x13 baking pan and roast in a preheated 400 degree oven.
  • Roast for about 30 minutes or until the cauliflower takes on a nice golden color. Stir once or twice during the roasting for a more even color.
This will serve 3-4 hungry people as a side dish or 2 as a main dish. We ate ours as a very satisfying main dish accompanied by some crusty, fresh baked bread.

Myrrh and Patchouli

Before I get into the uses for these wonderful essential oils I would like to share the importance of doing a patch test before using a new botanical in any of your preparations. It's simple and only takes 15-20 minutes to find out if you or someone else is sensitive to an oil or botanical. Put a drop of the essential oil in question on a cotton ball and dab the inside of your arm right below the elbow. If any redness, itching or irritation occurs within the next 15-20 minutes avoid using that substance in any of your creations. MYRRH ~Myrrh has a warm, resinous scent that is soothing in states of stress, panic, fear, confusion and apathy. To use for this purpose, place a drop or two of the essential oil in a diffuser or bowl o f hot water to help disperse the scent throughout the room. A more portable solution is to take a whiff or two straight from the bottle. ~Myrrh is anti-inflammatory, anti fungal, antimicrobial and antiseptic making it a good addition to topical preparations...
