Cauliflower is by far the most frustrating vegetable to work with. I might as well never clean the floors because there is going to be bits and pieces of that damn cauliflower everywhere I turn, every time I try to cut it. Am I just making excuses to why I don’t sweep the floor enough? Yeah. Definitely.
Ok, so people are freaking the eff out about this new iPhone software update. I don’t know why people are so upset. The only thing that has changed is how the text messages look. And where the control panel is. And how to search your phone. And how the weather looks on the screen. And the flashlight application. And the calendar. And how it shows me stocks. I don’t care about stocks. I should, shouldn’t I?
What I think that people should be complaining to Apple about is their damn headphones they give you when you purchase a phone. Hear me out. They have the most sophisticated phones in the world that can literally keep you sitting on your couch for hours, only being alerted by your own need to use the bathroom, but they can invent an ear phone that actually resembles an inner ear? Not even close. They give you head phones that are round and flat and fit into your ear worse than popcorn. Truly. I’d rather shove popcorn in my ear than their headphones. Popcorn wouldn’t be nearly as painful. If I’m going to pay for a phone that cost like, a kagillion dollars, I’m expecting headphones that mold to my ear and make love to it. But no, just pain. I guess I bought the phone anyways, so I’m just annoying at this point.
So I finally got snap chat. I gave in. I’ve always judged people for having it. Mostly because a certain someone I know that has it, gets dirty pictures on it. You dirty girls, you. And well, I don’t want to be that girl. And I definitely don’t want to receive dirty snap chats. Guys’ selfies in the mirror are never that interesting. But my friend sent me a snap chat of him dipping a cinnamon roll in frosting the other day, so I instantly downloaded it. Food porn is always worth the 10 second download. But now I don’t really know what to do with it. I’m not into it yet.
I don’t know what kind of animal is outside of my room, but it sounds like a mix between a squirrel and chicken. Picture that ugly b*tch.
Simple Creamy Cauliflower and Artichoke Soup
- Yield: 2 1x
Ingredients
- 2 cups cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1–2 cups vegetable stock (depending how thin or thick you want the soup)
- 1/2 cup artichoke hearts (I bought canned artichoke hearts)
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1–2 cup shredded chicken, to garnish (I shredded a rotisserie chicken to make it easy)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, roughly chopped, to garnish
- olive oil, to garnish
- hot sauce, to garnish
Instructions
- Steam 2 cups of cauliflower florets until soft.
- Place cauliflower in a Blendtec along with vegetable stock and puree until smooth using the soup button. If you do not have a Blendtec, use a food processor or blender.
- Add artichoke hearts, basil, and and a bit of salt and pepper. Puree once more to incorporate all ingredients.
- Cook bacon to preference then roughly chop it. I shredded a rotisserie chicken to make it easier.
- Place soup in a bowl, top with shredded chicken and bacon and add a few drops of olive oil and hot sauce on top of the soup.
- I found the best way to eat it was to mix it all up in a bowl mash. Wonderful.

This looks awesome. I’ve been wanting a better thing to do with cauliflower because I, too, cannot seem to keep the tinies off the floor. Maybe I’ll steam the whole damn thing all at once. Also, you’re hilarious, though I’m sure you get that all the time! Thanks for the deliciousness.
Thank you for making me feel better about the constant smattering of cauliflower on my floor. Def a love hate relationship with that veggie.
Please tell me you saw New Girl last night. I’m trying to find ways to insert Schmidt quotes into everyday dialogue. 🙂
Ahhhh Mindy was amazing last night! I mean I love me some Nick and Jess but Mindy was killing it with the one liners!
“I am a tiny dainty women and these donuts are my lunch”
I love her!
I feel the same way about cauliflower! I LOVE eating it but HATE prepping it! I call it the packing peanuts of the food world. As far as sweeping the floors, that’s why I got a dog haha
This looks yummy. Going out to buy cauliflower and artichoke hearts today
Cauliflower is such a bitch. That’s why I love getting the pre-cut florets from TJ’s…not super expensive compared to pre-cut veggies from other stores and I don’t have to worry about chopping it up and sending cauli dust throughout my kitchen.
I LOVE YOUR BLOG. and you. in a totally non-creepy way
This soup looks awesome. Can’t wait to try it and thanks for your blog. You crack me up… love reading it!
I completely agree with you on the earphones. I hate them!
I am so glad someone else hates those darn headphones. They hurt! And, I am a very sweaty girl so sweat gets into my ears (I know, gross) and the headphones won’t stay in. So annoying!
I am so glad I’m not alone when it comes to cauli-floor. It’s seriously ridiculous how much I get on the floor!
