My DSis made this tonite and said she and her DH loved it! I got the recipe today while watching a Canadian Food network show, The Main.

Cauliflower and Caper Gratin

Â 2 medium white potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters

Â 1 medium head of cauliflower, broken into florets

Â 2 cups heavy cream

Â 2 tbsp butter

Â 1 clove garlic, minced

Â 2 sprigs rosemary

Â 1 bay leaf

Â pinch nutmeg

Â salt and pepper to taste

Â 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Â 1 cup grated emmanthal, swiss, or gouda cheese

Â 2 tbsp capers

Â chopped fresh rosemary, for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 400 F

2. Place potatoes in small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a simmer and cook 12-15 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Drain potatoes and put through a ricer (or mash with a fork).

3. Meanwhile, cook cauliflower in a large pot of salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until tender.

4. In a large pot, bring cream to a simmer. Add butter, garlic, rosemary, bay leaf, nutmeg, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add potatoes. Add cooked cauliflower and stir to combine.

5. Transfer mixture to an 8x10 ovenproof casserole dish. Sprinkle with half of the breadcrumbs and then the cheese. Top with remaining breadcrumbs and capers.

6. Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until bubbling and golden brown on top. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary before serving.

I've had, and made, a pretzel pineapple salad before and it is absolutely scrumtious! Everyone should try nodakgal's recipe! My niece (in law)'s BOK CHOY Salad. This was a GREAT hit at our family campout last summer: BOK CHOY SALAD 1 head of bok choy (or substitute 1 bag of cole slaw mix) 6 green onions 3/4 c sunflower seeds 1/2 c slivered almonds 2 packages of ramen noodles, discard seasoning 3-4 T butter For dressing... 3/4 c oil 1/4 c soy sauce 3/4 c sugar 1/3 c vinegar Smash ramen noodles and brown in frying pan with butter. Let cool. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for dressing and mix well. Set aside. Chop bok choy using stalks and a portion of the green leaf. Chop green onions using as much of the green stalk as you like. Combine boy choy (or cole slaw mix) and green onions with dressing. Toss to coat vegetables. Just before serving add sunflower seeds, almonds and browned ramen noodles. Store any leftovers in the fridge. My niece's twist... add the ramen noodles to the bok choy mix and let it marinate for a couple of hours in the fridge before serving. Then, add in the sunflower seeds and almonds before serving.

Recipe of the Day November 29 - Meatloaf!

I saw that recipe from All Recipes, it sounds good, but I too would like to find out if anyone has made it. The one I make now is a hit with the family. It's from Quick Cooking, Little Cheddar Loaves, and my family likes it a lot. BUT they call it "Meat Wads"! Meat Wads Loaf: 1 egg 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 cup oatmeal 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 tsp salt Pepper to taste 1 lb. ground beef Sauce: 2/3 cup catsup 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 1/2 tsp dry mustard In bowl beat egg and milk, stir in cheese, oats, onion, salt and pepper. Add beef and mix well. Shape into 8 mini loaves. Place in lightly greased 9x13 pan. Combine catsup, brown sugar and dry mustard, spoon over loaves. Bake uncovered at 350Â° for 45 minutes. My DH prefers a large loaf so he can have sandwiches the next day, so I just make it into a large loaf and bake a bit longer. Also, I use part turkey or pork for some of the beef.
