Mom always tells me about the amazing garden my grandfather, Papa, grew.  I never had the chance to see it, and if I did take a peek once or twice, I was way too young to remember.

I love hearing her stories about the garden and its bounty.  Herbs, tomatoes, rhubarb, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and more.  In addition to the awesomeness of this garden are the stories about his and Granny’s cooking.

They both sound like amazing cooks with different specialties.  Granny could get dinner on the table in a flash and feed the whole family with just a few ingredients.  She was the hero when it came to weeknight dinners.

Papa had a bit more of that gourmet flair in him, working with herbs and peppers.  Mom always talks about how he put parsley on everything, and now I do that sometimes too 🙂  He made soups and stews and even homemade noodles.

These stories make me wish so badly I had the chance to cook with them so that we could learn and grow as chefs together.  How special that would be.  I do cherish my time cooking with Mom as we do the same thing.

When I told her about my Spicy Cauliflower Tacos, she told me about the time they steamed some cauliflower with potatoes and a bunch of worms came out!  Gross!  Needless to say they turned to Granny for another quick fix meal.

There are no insects of any kind in this Spicy Cauliflower Tacos, just pure veggie goodness.  I made these so that they are vegan and gluten free, but feel free to use whatever wrap you like or add an egg or a little shredded meat.

No matter how you serve these, they are packed with nutrition and warm heat that is so perfect for the transition into fall.  My favorite unexpected addition are the pecans and walnuts for some serious crunch.

Here’s to Papa’s garden.  I hope these tacos would have made him proud.

    After we bought our property and built our house, he did a huge garden on our property. It was probably 3/4 of an acre! He even planted asparagus!! He came over every day and worked for hours in the garden. It was a great time with him and we enjoyed the bounty all summers long. I tried to keep it up for a year or so after he passed but it was just way too much work. He loved it however and was so proud of it. And that story about the cauliflower happened with broccoli too! LOL!
