Spicy Roasted Cauliflower (v)

I admit it. I don't like cauliflower. I never have. Yet with this recipe its actually pretty good. Have kids that absolutely will not eat it, like me when I was little, try this recipe: the spicy kick might just get them to like them. 

Spanish Almond Puffs

These spicy and sweet bites are great for any winter holiday get together. The spices are a wonderful combination with the frosty air outside as well as those toasty drinks inside. Super easy and quick to make using packaged puff pastry sheets, but feel free to make your own from scratch if you like. See the variation after the notes for making their classy sibling: Sweet & Spicy Party Twists. (Makes about 20 puffs, or 24 twists.)

Chorizo Pasta

This simple pasta dish is easy to make on a weeknight to feed an entire family, plus it's fairly priced. The chorizo adds an extra spicy to your typical pasta dinner, but not too much that is will drive away those with a weaker pallet.
