I love roasting my veggies, too! I’m not a fan of cauliflower (smell) but it should work beautifully with curry.
Great work on the loss!

I love Brussel sprouts. Steamed or roasted.

@Russell and @Morticia: Thanks! This week will be nose to the grindstone. @Navy: I love Moroccan, Thai and Indian curries so, so much! So easy to make. @Moko: I think my prior exposure to cauliflower was mushy & overcooked or raw on the crudites platter. So maybe it was a texture thing 🤷🏻♀️. @Anne: Brussels stir-fried or roasted are just the best. Can't believe it took me 50 years to figure that out.

Oh, how I love cauliflower! I had the same eye opening experience with veggies when I moved out on my own and was no longer subject to my mom's cooking. I don't know what veggies ever did to that woman to make her treat them so badly 🤣

I see that moms ruining veggies must be a common theme here. 😝 My mom had the same effect: either boiled them (Brussels and asparagus ew) or breaded and deep fried them (which were mostly tasty but a lot less nutritious)

@Wyo: In my 20's & 30's I ate in restaurants mostly (fine dining, not drivethru's!), so those were my first exposures to veggies that weren't boiled to death. By late 30's I learned to cook; since it's cheaper than going out, I'm okay with a failed food. A head of cauliflower is cheap.

@Otb: I dream big 😊👁️🏆. I find I work harder for the carrot when it's dangling a bit further out of reach. @Moko: I went vegetarian ate age 16, and I'm sure my mother wondered what on earth I was going to eat, beyond potatoes 😄

Awesome work. I love veggies and Indian food. When I went vegan I found it didn’t so much restrict as open my world to a lot of new plant based foods. I haven’t been vegan in a few years now, but planning to head back in a more plant based direction.

@Cindy: Didn't you live in India in your 20's? Going more plant based in 2023 sounds like a great plan. It baffles me when FS members think my diet is sooo restrictive. I try new recipes every week, and my diet is incredibly varied. It helps that I love to cook and I'm open minded and curious. I also don't have a crippling sweet tooth; a mango or a bowl of blueberries is sweet enough for me, so I don't crave cookies and cake.

Great job! I have been thinking of adding Brussels sprouts too. Let me know what you think. Can’t believe you haven’t added zucchini yet, love that stuff.

@Manatee: Brussels have been on the menu this year a billion times since I gave them a chance 😋. Zucchini is okay, but I prefer it to be a minor player in a dish. Today I roasted the cauliflower for my curry, and it's a winner!!!! Tomorrow I'm making stuffed red peppers (with lentils, couscous, lemon and olives).

JB no you must be thinking of someone else. I haven’t been to India, though my fiancé has. Agree that there are lots of great plant based choices if you’re creative and love to cook
