Cooking for One: Fall Produce

even if you’re cooking for one person.

Like a lot of people, to me fall means hearty stews and soups. But when cooking for one, you’ll be eating that stew for days to come, or freezing over half of it for later, so it’s nice to find some great ways to make use of fall produce that won’t result in squash overload.

Cauliflower is in abundance this time of year, and one of my favorite ways to prepare it is roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper. Check to see if there is pre-cut cauliflower available in your produce department or on the salad bar, then get just what you need and take it home to roast! If you’re choosing pre-cut veggies from the salad bar, just add some chickpeas and sliced green olives to your cauliflower for a healthy meal that gives you loads of fiber and protein. Looking for a sweeter, more exotic touch? Substitute raisins for the olives and maybe add a dash of curry powder.
