Cauliflower Cheese

Grocery shopping takes on more of community feel the closer we get to harvest time. Yesterday, the displays of vegetables were mounded high and there were rows of peaches in baskets, hand picked from area orchards. As we were deciding over a basket of new potatoes, R spied the small bite-size ones that we really love. An obliging fellow shopper passed them to us from across the display so we wouldn't have to walk around. The lower prices had me pondering over the peppers as to what I could make with them. Kristina has posted recently about the vegetables from her allotment and inspired me to bake a cauliflower cheese - several times lately. It was on the menu again last night and was delicious, for dessert we had apple pie. Fall and the glorious smell of woodsmoke will be upon us soon and I for one, can't wait!

  1. Mmm...that looks so yummy. I'll be wishing for fall as we head out the door into the muggy heat. Blech!

  3. Book Psmith, Muggy is the worst! We had that for the past week but it's much more pleasant now.

    Kristina, Oh to have such a climate here, you're a solid month or more ahead of us. I can't wait to start making applesauce! D x

    verity, Absolutely!

  4. That looks yummy. I love cauliflower but I never make it! It is time for apples--my favorites are honeycrisp (do you have them in Canada?)--I can't wait to see them in stores, which should be soon. They've ruined me for any other apples!

  5. Danielle, Oh aren't they the best! We discovered honeycrisp apples last year and couldn't get enough. We haven't seen them for awhile so the Fuji has been the apple of choice lately at our house.
