Hello there blog buds!
Hope your week is getting off to a good start! I started my morning with a good upper body strength workout, then had a green smoothie before getting to work. I told you that my no-slacker tracker was giving me the stink eye! So I had to remedy the situation.
One of today’s snacks was the return of an old friend:
HUMMUS! I don’t know why but hummus kept getting left off my food rotation. I have missed it. I must restrain myself from wanting to slather it on everything I eat. That would make for a lot of boring food pics. “Here we have green smoothie with hummus. Almond butter toast with hummus. Clementine with hummus…” 
You’ll see too that I have a few pieces of cauliflower there, leftover from making that recipe from the last Recipes to Inspire post for Poorman’s Shrimp Cocktail. I thought it was really fun! Cory even ate it and he’s not usually a big fan of cauliflower. The chilled cauliflower does actually take on a bit of the texture of shrimp cocktail when you bite into it. The cauliflower even without the sauce had a nice flavor. I didn’t have Old Bay seasoning in my pantry so I used a Phillips Seafood Seasoning which I think is similar.
I halved the recipe and it still made quite a bit, so just a heads up if you decide to try it too. This was one head of cauliflower and it took up my entire cutting board:
It occurred to me that you might think I just post those recipes and never actually do anything with them. Sometimes I actually try them out. I even picked up the ingredients to try the crockpot Philly Cheese Steak for Cory’s dinner tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it goes!
Have a LOVELY Valentine’s Day tomorrow friends and I’ll be back next time to let you know how the cheese steaks (and my veggie version) turned out!
