I love to keep some in the fridge for a Loaded Coconut Taco day (see the recipe.)

A few years ago, I received a bag of smoked salt as a birthday gift. This was one of the best additions ever to my kitchen, and I simply can’t ever go back to the days without smoked salt – there is no return to that. Now, I add it to almost every dish and it gives so much depth and flavor in a graceful and subtle way.
Paleo, Vegan
I love cauliflower! It is nutritious (packed with vitamins C, B, and K and rich in omega-3), it is delicious, and you can’t convince me any other way. I know it is "trendy" now, but I was always that kid who loved cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and spinach. True story!
This white vegetable is so versatile. So, for the non-believers among us - please give “Cauli” a chance.
Roasting is my favorite way to prepare cauliflower. It can accompany any other dish on the table.
