Cauliflower "Popcorn" 

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Trim the head of cauliflower, discarding the core and thick stems; cut florets into pieces about the size of ping-pong balls.
3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and salt, whisk, then add the cauliflower pieces and toss thoroughly.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup (you can skip that, if you don't have any) then spread the cauliflower pieces on the sheet and roast for 1 hour, turning 3 or 4 times, until most of each piece has turned golden brown.
5. (The browner the cauliflower pieces turn, the more caramelization occurs and the sweeter they'll taste).
6. Serve immediately.

Jackie's Health Tip of the Week 9/11/16

Save money by cooking your own beans, peas and lentils!  You can buy a whole bag of dried beans, peas, and lentils, and cook up what you need. Or, you can spend twice the money to get them canned. Cooking them yourself just requires a little advance planning, since you need to soak them overnight or put them in a slow cooker. Canned food usually contains way more sodium than we want or need! I really found this page from Whole Foods helpful. It breaks down all sorts of different types of beans and explains how to prepare and cook them.
