Cauliflower Power - Round 2

Back in February, I posted about my new found love of cauliflower! Well....I'M BACK!!

Here is the latest (and dare I say, greatest) cauliflower recipe:

Twice Baked Cauliflower
Ingredients:
1 large head cauliflower
4 oz. low fat or light cream cheese
1/2 cup low fat or light sour cream
1/4 cup minced green onions (if you have it...we didn't and it was still good)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (if you only have finely grated Parmesan, use a bit less)
6 slices turkey bacon, cooked until very crisp, fat blotted with paper towel and then crumbled
1 cup reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Cut out stem and core from cauliflower, and cut into small pieces. Cook in large pot of boiling salted water until cauliflower is tender, but not overly soft. Drain well and mash with potato masher, leaving some chunks. Mix in light cream cheese, light sour cream, green onion, Parmesan, and 3/4 of the crumbled bacon.

Spread evenly in a medium-sized glass casserole dish. Sprinkle with low-fat cheddar cheese and reserved bacon. Bake 30-35 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Enjoy!

Personally, I think this recipe tastes JUST like a baked potato!

Monument Ave 10k - I DID IT!

This past Saturday, March 31st, I ran my first race ever - the Monument Ave 10K in Richmond, VA!

I surprised myself by running the WHOLE THING! No stopping to walk!! Can you believe it??? Because I can't! The whole time I was running I was thinking "This is sooo weird!"

My goal was to make it to mile 3.1. I'm running two 5ks this month so I wanted to make sure I could do it! Once I got to mile 3.1, I didn't want to stop! And by the time I made it to mile 4, I knew that if I stopped I wouldn't start running again.... so I didn't stop!!!

Seth was much faster than me and ended up running ahead of me by mile 2. He finished the race in 1 hour and 3 minutes. I finished in 1 hour and 17 minutes :)

Here are some pictures from after we finished the race!

We did it!!
