Bake 20 to 30 minutes at 425 degrees F or until the cauliflower is slightly browned. 1 cup = 29 cal., 5 g carb., 0 g fat, 2 g pro.

Grilled Peaches

 

 

 

One of my favorite ways to enjoy peaches is to throw them on the grill. The fruit takes on a slightly smoky flavor while also becoming caramelized from the heat. If you don't have a grill, you can also bake peaches in the oven. While good on their own, I like to add a bit of cinnamon to the peaches before grilling.  Yummy!!
