We did pick up some fresh produce on sale, including a giant, beautiful, white, 5 pound cauliflower for $1.99. Very cheap, they usually run $4 for a tiny head.
So, as I was wiping down the frig and making room for the new groceries, I found it. Still there. Still white and new, even after a week. Didn't smell yet. And there is no way I am taking a *FIVE* pound hit on my "no waste" challenge.
This week's PLAN was DH would heat up the frozen dinners that have collected with various rebate offers. Healthy Choice, Lean Cuisine, etc. Add a side of broccoli, etc., and be good to go. We are going to get through that freezer yet!
So, cauliflower. HMMM...steamed with a nice lemon dill sauce.
Out of lemon dill sauce or anything that would make a lemon dill sauce.
Okay, yogurt/mustard sauce, fabulous.
No yogurt.
Maybe the famous lemon/carrot/ dish with bacon on top. Haven't made it since we entertained last.
No carrots.
The no waste, and don't buy anything unless we are OUT of it, is getting a bit harder.
Last chance. In the frig, the remaining salsa/fiesta cheese dip sauce. A freebie, not that healthy, just a touch on quesadillas...but add that, some shredded cheddar that needs to be used, maybe some tomatoes and onion, or maybe just spicy cheddar.
But then the question: what spicy Mexican dish goes with MEXICAN CAULIFLOWER? Not enough air freshener in the house for that one!
As I was pondering this one and preparing the cauliflower, the pup got one of the leaves and drug it off. Puppy on cauliflower. WHOA.
DH has volunteered to select the entree. We have plenty of Tums in the stockpile.
Please, no left overs on this one!!!

Cauliflower au gratin - 5 min steam on the cauliflower, in another pan make a roux with butter/margarine and flour, add milk to make a white sauce, pour sauce over the cauliflower and add your shredded cheese, then bake.
double yum!
