Japanese Mum's Chicken
*The sauce will thicken to a glaze if you are patient. It just takes a bit of time. If you feel your chicken is cooked (and going to over cook) remove it before going on to reduce the sauce. Same thing, if you must use breast meat, remove it (so it doesn't dry out) and continue reducing the sauce . If you do it this way rather than thickening with cornstarch you will get a richer glaze and not need to add stock or broth instead of the water. It just takes patience.

servings 45 min 5 min prep

| 2 1/2 | tablespoons sugar |
| 1 | garlic clove, peeled and bruised |

Roasted Cauliflower & 16 Roasted Cloves of Garlic
We just love this for the flavor and the health benefits. Roasted brings out a wonderful sweetness in this dish. The Garlic is roasted to a tan color is creamy good. You can just pop them in your mouth. Or you can spread them on your florets or fresh bread. Just be sure to scoop up some of the rosemary, olive oil and black pepper that may have escaped to the bottom of the dish.

| 1-2 | teaspoon minced fresh rosemary |
| 1 | teaspoon salt |
| 1/4-1/2 | teaspoon black pepper |
| 1/4 | cup olive oil, adding more to taste |
| more olive oil, to drizzle if wanted |
- Mix oil, rosemary, salt, pepper and garlic together.
- Toss in cauliflower and place in a large casserole dish in one layer.

All these recipes are good; I especially like the recipe for the cauliflower dish. It is quick and easy. Thanks, too, for the caloric index/nutrition index. Any way that I can sneak veggies into my family works for me ! Keep up the good work. Don't let the grumpies get you down.
