On Sunday, my roommate and I hosted an Oscar party at our apartment which excited me not only because it was an opportunity to get dressed up, but because it was a great excuse for me to try out some new recipes for my friends.

Continuing on the healthy route, tonight I decided to make my adapted recipe with cauliflower instead of potatoes.
