I chop/break apart the cauliflower into pretty small pieces then toss them in a mix of a Mexican hot sauce (like Valentina) till the small florets are coated. Roast them in 400 oven till well done (nearly burnt) 30+ minutes.
Top the tacos with a slaw made of red cabbage, mayo (I use Veganaise) and whatever spices. I included cumin, onion powder and chile powder). I also added chopped green onion.
They were pretty soft and falling a part so we placed them in the refrigerator which helped to firm them up. They tasted good and the grand-kids really liked them.

Supper tonight spaghetti squash from a friends garden.
I halved the squash, removed the seeds and baked face down at 400 for 30 minutes.
Once cooked I scraped out the innards and mixed with cooked Gimme Lean, shredded Brussels sprouts, onion and garlic powders and black pepper.
Then put the mixture in to the squash halves, topped with Daiya mozzarella and baked for an additional 15 minutes.
Seeds removed and a little oil and pepper before going in the oven.
Stuffing added and before going back in to the oven.
Marinated and roasted shredded carrots topped with a vinegar based bbq sauce, a simple purple cabbage slaw (shredded cabbage and vegenaise) and pickles. Served on a whole wheat skinny bun.
To make the carrots…
Ingredients
1 – 10oz bag shredded carrots
2 TBSP tamari (or soy sauce)
2 TBSP liquid smoke
1 TBSP maple syrup
1/4 tsp onion powder

In a small bowl mix together all ingredients except the carrots.
Put the mixture along with the carrots in a ziplock bag (my carrots came in a resealable bag which I used).
Work the mixture around coating the carrots.
Let marinade for at least a couple hours occasionally working the bag to coat the carrots.
Place shredded carrots on baking sheet and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.

4 cheese and Margherita pizzas at the Kansas Star Casino are really good. We on occasion will have dairy just to make it a little easier when eating out.
The family got together at our house. We ate Fiesta Bowls and some of us went for a bike ride.
