Broccoli & Cauliflower in Lime Dressing

by Magnolia on February 6, 2010

Post image for Broccoli & Cauliflower in Lime Dressing

Though this calls for the broccoli and cauliflower florets to be slightly boiled until tender, you can also make this one with the veggies raw.

You can add a can (drained) of mexican corn and red onions for a little more pizazz as well.

  • 1 Tble Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tsp Raw Honey
  • 3 Tble Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1 Cup Broccoli Florets
  • 1 Cup Cauliflower Florets
  • Salt & Pepper to Taste
  • Red Pepper Flakes to Taste (optional)

Mix soy sauce, honey and lime juice.  Set aside.  Boil broccoli and cauliflower for about 5 minutes, until they are tender, yet firm.  Drain and toss immediate with soy sauce – lime mixture.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.

Makes 4 Servings

Thumbnail image for 35 Symptoms of Perimenopause: Dry, Itchy Skin

One of the most bizarre manifestations of my hormonal chaos has been the itches.  Everything itched.  And I mean EVERYTHING.  But, mostly, my head.
My scalp has always given me trouble.  Meaning, I’ve always had itchy scalp.  Not dandruff.  Not psoriasis.  Just itchy scalp.  Particularly if I didn’t wash my hair regularly.  Gross, I know.  But, [...]

You gals don’t need me to tell you that there is nothing simple and straight forward when it comes to perimenopuase or menopause.
Us women are delicate and complex creatures to begin with and our biology is no different. So, when things decide to go all kitty-whompus (my own word, thank you) like perimenopause, the answers [...]

35 Symptoms of Perimenopause: Loss of Libido

January 11, 2010
Thumbnail image for 35 Symptoms of Perimenopause: Loss of Libido

As if perimenopause doesn’t cause us enough grief, it has to go and snatch away our sex drive too.  It seems awfully cruel, especially if you’ve enjoyed a healthy and satisfying sex life until then.
I remember a panic setting in when I realized that my desire for sex would diminish – or at least, that’s [...]

One thing that women love is community and a place to gather and chat about this and that.  Since the Internet is taking on a new role in our lives every day, more and more online sites are cropping up devoted to just that.  Community.
I try to limit my involvement in too many because, well, [...]
