    Reflection question:
    What was the dish you made, and how did it turn out? What did it feel like to try a new recipe?

    This weekend i tried cauliflower tacos. Normally I go with chicken filling but I'm really trying to eat vegan these days. I did have my doubts about this recipe when i first read it online, but it turned out to be delicious. Along with cauliflower I added jalapenos and avocados to give it a little heat and flavor and a little bit of garlic and parsley for that earthy touch..
