Not a Sad Desk Sandwich: Braised Kale, Mozzarella & Red Onion Jam

Not A Sad Desk Lunch: Cauliflower with Mint-Walnut Pesto Sandwich
Cauliflower is a little eye-rolly these days. The hype is nearly as bad as it has been for kale. Over the last few years, food blogs have used it for everything from “alfredo” sauce to fried rice.
