Cauliflower Popcorn

This is from Angi Wuebben in response to me saying "the only thing I miss on the diet is popcorn!" However, this tastes a little like fried okra to me, which is something else this Southern Belle misses! I wonder if you can do the same with okra?!


For a picture and other reciptes visit at Mrs. Dash's website:

Cauliflower Popcorn
Ingredients:
1 head of cauliflower
3 Tbsp. (45mL) olive oil (or Canola/Enova oil would be best--your body does not absorb it!)
2 Tbsp. (30mL) Mrs. Dash® Table Blend
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C).
Cut out and discard cauliflower core and thick stems. Trim remaining cauliflower into florets the size of popcorn.
Toss thoroughly in a bowl with olive oil and Mrs. Dash® Table Blend.
Spread cauliflower on a sheet pan and roast for approximately 60 minutes, or until nicely browned (that's the carmelization process converting the dormant natural sugars into sweetness).
Turn three or four times during roasting. The browner the florets, the sweeter they will taste. Serve immediately.

Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad
1/2 head of cauliflower
1/2 head of broccoli
1/2 red pepper, diced
1/2 yellow pepper, diced
1 small onion, sliced exceptionally thin
1/2 bottle Walden Farms dressing of choice**

Cut the cauliflower into bite-size pieces in a large bowl. Stir in the peppers and onion. Drizzle the dressing into the salad while stirring slowly. Can add a half of jar of Hormel Bacon bits just before serving or, peanuts, almonds or sunflower seeds IF ON MAINTENANCE. Some of my favorite Walden Farms with it are: Creamy Italian, Creamy Bacon, Balsomic, Honey Dijon, or Zesty Italian.
Marinate overnight for best flavor.

July is Blueberry Month

sponsored by http://www.bellybusterdiet.com/

Blueberries have long been recognized as the fruit with the most antioxidants. The United States Department of Agriculture on May 8th, 1999, proclaimed July to be National Blueberry Month. Blueberries are grown in 35 states, with the United States producing over 90% of the worlds supply.

One of the easiest fruits to prepare and serve, these tasty berries offer as much as four times as many health-giving antioxidants than other fruits and veggies. Because blueberries have few natural pests, (other than birds), pesticides are generally unnecessary when growing them. A powerhouse among fruits, blueberries rich antioxidants are valued for their cancer and heart disease fighting properties. They are also shown to help improve memory, balance, and coordination.

Adding fresh summer blueberries are a great way to give a little health punch to some of your favorite dishes. Try them in yoghurt, pancakes, muffins, on your salad, over ice cream and even blueberry salsa.
We invite you to enjoy a few of our tasty blueberry recipes below and tell us the ways you like to eat these healthy berry bites.

Care Solutions
* Don’t wash berries until just before using to prevent berries from becoming mushy.
* Chill berries soon after picking to increase shelf life. If refrigerated, fresh-picked blueberries will keep 10 to 14 days.
* Freeze berries in freezer containers without washing to keep the skins from toughening.
Fun Facts
* The blueberry is the second most popular berry in the U.S. The strawberry is number one. Over 200 million pounds of blueberries are grown commercially each year.
* Blueberries contain significant quantities of both antibacterial and antiviral compounds, and have a reputation of fighting infections. They may also help protect against heart disease.
* The blueberry muffin is the official muffin of Minnesota.
* Blueberry Jelly Bellies were created especially for former president Ronald Reagan.
* The blueberry is the official state fruit of New Jersey, which also raises the most cultivated fresh blueberries in the United States.

Punch Bowl Cake (Great for July 4th because of it's Patriotic Look!)
2 pkg of pudding mix
2 pkgs of strawberry jello mix
2 cups of blueberries
2 cups of strawberries
1 angel food cake (sugar-free)
1 lg. Cool Whip

I put pudding, then cake, then a layer of jello with the stawberries in it, then cakem then pudding tieh the blueberries on top, etc. In a glass trifle bowl, this looks so pretty! For an American holiday, very patriotic on your table. Great for diabetics and for those on a diet!
