My Awesome Foodie Pen Pal & a recipe... Lake Shore Drive Chicken & Noodles

I stumbled across this fun thing called the Foodie Pen pal Club that Lindsay over at the Lean Green Bean runs and I thought how flippin' fun.  So, I signed up and WHAT FUN indeed! 600 Pen pals matched up in both the U.S. & Canada.


My Pen Pal to send to was Amber in Corpus Christie TX.  Amber didn't express any major dietary concerns  and was a young calorie burning girl and I thought she could certainly handle some of Ruthie's Scotcheroos... so, I made some and packaged them up and then put together a "Scotcheroo Kit" for her to make a batch too!  All that in a lucky four leaf clover tin... I really had fun putting it together.

The WOW Factor {Parmesan Cauliflower Recipe}

I have a house divided when it comes to cauliflower.  The girls love it and the guys not-so-much.  At least that's what THEY thought!  Until I made Clinton's Magical Cauliflower one day..... Even the Old Guy who never let Ruthie cook Cauliflower because he hated it said, "WOW, now that could change a guy's mind about Cauliflower."

HERE'S ALL YOU NEED:

1 head of cauliflower

2 eggs beaten with 2 TBSP water

1 5 oz bag of shredded Parmesan & Romano

1 & 1/2 tsp Paprika

a sprinkle of kosher salt

Preheat your oven to 325 & line a large jelly roll sheet with foil; lightly spray with olive oil {real or "Pam"}.   trim off leaves and stem of cauliflower then slice down middle.  Take each half and half again, then cut each "quarter" into slices about 2.5 inches thick.  Some florets will break away, that's fine we will use them ALL :)

Beat your eggs and water in a bowl and mix together the cheese and paprika in another.  Dredge each piece of Cauliflower in first the egg then the cheese and line up on your prepared pan.  lightly sprinkle some Kosher salt over all when done.


THAT'S IT!  In the oven for 40 minutes..... they'll be fighting over it {and it's good for them}..... HA!
