Roasted Cauliflower Gratin

Roasted Cauliflower Gratin

I have made this twice already; y family gobbled it down each time. I want to try it with broccoli but it is so nice. I don't use the Parmesan (I rarely have it on hand which is weird because I have Italian background and ate pasta ALL the time.)  So here is the link so you can enjoy it too. :)

I tried this recipe out the other day and they were really nice, my kids devoured then. I love hiding healthy food in things and seeing them enjoy it. At times i just want to sit down and cackle hehehe who ever cackles? maybe I am a witch inside, a good witch I hope lol.
Alright so these muffins were great although I was missing a few ingredients and had to improvise they still turned out great. (I used flour instead of coconut flour and added 1/4 cup honey to sweeten them) I found them on the site below. they are originally gluten and sugar free. :)

I made a blog

WHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I DIDN"T LOOSE IT :)
I gave in. Here I am making a blog. Why? I have no clue LOL Maybe it is because I have seen so many awesome blogs lately and gotten great ideas off of them. Although I can not guarantee this will help anyone, I can always have fun right.
I guess I should apologise for my absolute improper use of punctuation
This post though really has no point to it other than figuring things out; so that said here is a picture of a penguin. It doesn't seem pleased that I took this picture, and I'm sure if it had a choice it would have preferred to bite me.

make your own dress

Alright so I try to start a blog to help release my stress and guess what? I erased the entire page I had almost completed! All I hit was one button and "poof" the magical computer monster ATE my page. that was all it took, one little keystroke and it disappeared never to be seen again.
SIGH
oh well
SOOOO... guess what I made?
done guessing?
A cute little dress :)
I made it from scratch. The pattern and everything!
I got the idea off another site... lets see if i can link it because it is so cool.
I don't have a surger although I really, REALLY want one ( I am determined to get one eventually), sorry got off track I tend to do that once in a while LOL
so or should i say sew? back to the surger I hate having raw edges and them fraying so I used a french seam on all my seams (accept the sleeves I couldn't do them right because they are so small and had to pick the seam out 4 times... not fun) below is a site that shows you how to make them. I was so excited to learn it that I had to share.
I love how it holds the seam in a seam and prevents it from fraying. Although I think the waist is a bit bulky on the inside from it I really didn't want it unravelling on me.
