Cauliflower Casserole

 I really love eating my vegetables this way.  

1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup crushed cornflakes

1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper

1/4 cup red bell pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Paprika (if  you want)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Place 1 inch of water in a saucepan; add cauliflower.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer until crisp-tender, 5-10 minutes.  Drain off the water.

In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, sour cream, cheddar cheese, cornflakes, peppers and salt.  Transfer to a greased 2-qt baking dish.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and paprika.

Bake, uncovered, until heated through, 30-35 minutes.

Shredded Pork for Tacos in Pressure Cooker

 I found a boneless pork loin roast in the freezer and wanted a quick meal for supper.  I thawed the roast in the microwave and cut it into chunks.  (It was probably about 1 lb and I cut it into 6 pieces).  Then into the pressure cooker it went.  Seth said it would have been even yummier with some type of rice.  Maybe I'll mix up some Spanish rice tomorrow to go with the leftovers.  I got the original recipe from eatingonadime.com.

2-3 pounds of pork loin or pork roast

1 cup salsa (we used home-canned salsa)

1 cup water

1 package taco seasoning

Place pork in the pressure cooker.  In a two-cup glass measuring cup combine salsa, water, and taco seasoning.  Pour this liquid mixture over the roast.  Place the lid on the pressure cooker and make sure the nob is set to sealing.  Cook on the high setting for 45 minutes.  (I cooked it for 40 minutes because I had cut my meat up, but it was also still a little frozen).  You can quick pressure release at the end of cooking time.  (I was shopping, so the kids left it alone and it stayed on the keep warm setting for about 10 minutes before I got back.)  Remove meat from the pressure cooker, shred with forks.  (I've also heard you can put it in a stand mixer and turn that baby on to shred the meat.)  Put the meat back into the liquid.  

We served this on flour tortillas with shredded cheese, olives, sour cream, and lettuce.
