Roasted Cauliflower and Whole Wheat Pasta with Pork Meatballs: My Diary of Us

Roasted Cauliflower and Whole Wheat Pasta with Pork Meatballs

TGIF guys!  This week had been dragging for me, and I am super excited about the weekend finally arriving.  Tomorrow night I get to dress up in a ball gown and Canean will be looking dashing in a tux because we are attending a Mardi Gras Ball!  To be honest I'm really excited, we haven't gotten this dressed up since our wedding almost seven years ago!  It's our last Mardi Gras here in Louisiana so it will be a great way to go out with a bang.  As far as the rest of the weekend goes, I'm planning on doing a little blog planning, house de-cluttering, and eating comfort food like my Roasted Cauliflower and Whole Wheat Pasta with Pork Meatballs.

This recipe is one of my favorites.  It's pretty healthy and the cauliflower adds extra volume to the dish and you end up eating less pasta.
