I know there are lots of cauliflower haters out there, but this can change your mind. Thanks to Michael Schlow for the inspiration — this version is lighter than his. Side note: It helps to get all of the ingredients ready before you start cooking, as this dish comes together quickly.

My partner pointed out to me yesterday that I always say “if I could lose this weight …” instead of “when I lose this weight.” It’s an important distinction. I’ve always said “if” because I was pretty sure I’d fail miserably. But now I think I’m going to say “when,” even though I’m still not [...]

For the last 25 years, I’ve been fat. Once or twice, I’ve managed to lose enough weight to be called average, but mostly, I’ve just been fat. It’s pretty clear that all the diets, pills, snake oils and other potions I’ve tried haven’t worked. I’m still just plain fat. I even created this blog with [...]

This is awful! I’m getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Soon I’ll be fatter than I’ve ever been. And yet … today I don’t care! I’m sick of worrying about it. I’m tired of fighting the good fight. By golly, I feel like it’s just not going to get better, and that I’m never going [...]
