Sorry, that my posting has not been very recent. I have a lot of stuff to do, and I don't always have time to go see what she's making. Often, the recipes are the same as the ones already posted, but there are still some that I can't get because she only makes them on the weekends.
Oh well. I'll try to keep up.

8. Mix it together until the cailiflower is coated with the sauce.
9. Finally, pour it onto a plate and top with pepper.

I have not been posting much since a lot of the same recipes are made multiple times during the week. I hope there is going to be something new or I have to learn some lunch recipes.
