Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Cashew Crema and Roasted Garlic Bread

This one is definitely entering the rotation! It took a little advance planning since the cashews needed soaking for quite a few hours and cauliflower needs at least 30 minutes to roast, but once that part is done the tacos actually come together pretty quickly. And that planning is absolutely worth it. The cashew crema is so rich in flavor, absolutely luxurious while being completely guilt free and full of healthy nutrients, while the roasted cauliflower brings nutty sweetness that will delight absolutely anyone. I finished it off with some crunchy romaine and creamy, fresh avocado.

While not exactly a traditional pairing, I bowed in to some family clamoring (from both husband and kids) and made some fresh roasted garlic bread in my breadmaker to finish out the meal. I have been long trying to find a way to make garlic bread in the breadmaker that actually tastes garlic-y. This method, of first roasting a whole head of garlic, adds one extra step but still allows the ease of setting a loaf in the morning before work and having it done when you get home... and at long last, it has a rich garlic flavor that is sure to delight everyone. I encourage you to give it a shot!

Time: 5 hours (but only about 30 min hands-on time throughout that)
