Hasselback Potatoes

Potatoes get a bad rap for being starchy carb-bombs that will ruin your diet. But... if they're not drowning in butter and sour cream or dripping hot oil from becoming greasy fries, I think they're fine for you. Then again, I'm an 'eat-everything-in-moderation' kind of person so I don't really know the official facts. I love potatoes and they don't go bad too quickly so I'm going to keep buying them. Here's a cute way to spruce up baked potatoes. The garlic slivers help fan out the little slices for an eye-catching presentation. Despite the name, there wasn't much hassle to making these.

Cauliflower Popcorn

I've been happy to find cauliflower on sale several weeks recently. My favorite way of cooking cauliflower remains Honey-Curry Roasted Cauliflower but I've been buying a lot of cauliflower so I thought I'd try a few alternate preparations too.
