GARLIC-ROSEMARY SLOW COOKER WHOLE CHICKEN
Once you try making a whole chicken in the slow cooker, you'll never want to roast it the old way again. In the slow cooker you'll get the moistest, most fool-proof, and hands-off whole chicken that you'll ever make. This recipe uses generous amounts of rosemary and garlic that not only infuse into the chicken, but also season the potatoes that cook underneath the chicken for a savory one-pot meal.

Steps:
- Place potatoes in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add onion over the top of the potatoes.
- Remove the chicken parts inside the cavity and pat the outside of the chicken dry. Slice deep, garlic clove-width slits into your chicken with a knife. Make 4 cuts on each side of the chicken, and 1 in each of the drumsticks. Stick a sliver of garlic deep into each cut. Place the remaining chunks of garlic into the cavity.
- Starting on the back of the chicken, season generously with about 1/2 of the rosemary and cracked salt and pepper. Add some seasoning inside the chicken's cavity as well. Flip the chicken and place it breast side up in the slow cooker on top of the potatoes and onions. Season the top of the chicken generously with the remaining rosemary and more cracked salt and pepper.
- Cook on Low until the chicken is cooked through completely and the juices run clear when the chicken is cut, 8 to 10 hours, depending on the size. Serve with the potatoes and onions from the pot.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND GARLIC PUREE
We enjoy pureed cauliflower but have had difficulty getting the consistency right. Steaming and boiling the cauliflower causes it to pick up too much moisture and the result is a really horrid soupy mess. We solved the problem by roasting the cauliflower with some garlic instead of using a water based method. The texture is close to mashed potatoes, but much healthier. I've indicated that this will serve 4, but to be honest, when I do this, I double the recipe. We use a lot of garlic, but we love it roasted. If you don't like garlic, don't use as much!

Steps:
- Toss the cauliflower florets and peeled garlic cloves in the olive oil until coated (I guess on the amount of olive oil, and probably use more than the specified amount).
- Sprinkle with salt to your taste. We use a creole salt or spice.
- Roast in oven at 375 degrees until the cauliflower is cooked and a fork pierces the stems easily. The timing will depend on how large you leave the cauliflower pieces, but it usually takes about 20 minutes. Don't let the cauliflower burn, but I think the slightly browned edges add character and flavor. The garlic should also be very soft by now.
- Put the roasted cauliflower with the garlic cloves into a food processor along with the butter (optional) and the sour cream. Pulse-puree until the mixture is smooth. Adjust seasonings as necessary and serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: For the best results, select a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size. Avoid heads with any brown spots or blemishes.
- Trim the cauliflower properly: Cut off the tough outer leaves and remove the core. Cut the cauliflower into florets and rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Use a low-sodium broth or make your own using vegetables, herbs, and spices.
- Don't overcook the cauliflower: Cauliflower should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked cauliflower will become mushy and bland.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
- Serve immediately: Cauliflower soup is best served hot. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or croutons.
Conclusion:
Cauliflower soup is a healthy and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. With its creamy texture and flavorful broth, cauliflower soup is a surefire hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
