Breakfast in less than a minute, all can go in the dishwasher. You can ALWAYS have breakfast.

Roasted cauliflower

Preheat oven to 400.

Chop up garlic. Chop up cauliflower. Coat in olive oil, salt/pepper.

Extended: Wash and yank the leaves off the cauliflower. Turn upside down and carve into the guts if the stalk (sorry, not a cook, dunno how to describe that). Separate into chunks and then chop into florets.

Toss in olive oil, salt/pepper and spread on parchment paper (or foil, whatever dude), and go for 20 min — shake it and go for another 20-ish, depending on size of florets and preferred crispy to tender ratio.

Serve as is or extra bonus: zest a lemon over the top and then squeeze the juice over them all. Foolishly delicious.

* Bonus level: pair with the Trader Joe’s Chicken shawarma thighs— add them at your toss time, on another baking sheet, lined with foil (not parchment), with a rack, they should be done in about 20 mins or so.

**If you’re really showing off: add a bagged salad. Boom. You’re Martha Stewart.

And if you wanna take it easiest: buy a bag of florets, why the hell not, the world already has a Martha Stewart. You’re the first and only You. Xox

Salad Jars
