Happy Saturday. My in-laws are in town, which means I’ve got the perfect excuse to log off and play tourist. But before I disappear into a weekend of Broadway shows and ferry rides, here’s what caught my eye this week:

One Bite of These Korean-Inspired Cauliflower Lettuce Wraps and You’ll Ghost Seamless

Tired of the same old takeout routine? Time to break the cycle with Roasted Cauliflower Lettuce Wraps With Korean BBQ-Inspired Sauce from Pinch of Yum. These insanely easy wraps hit every note: Crisped-to-perfect cauliflower florets are glazed in a sticky-sweet and savory Korean-inspired BBQ sauce, then tucked into butter lettuce for the perfect crunch. Add crushed peanuts, chives, and a generous swirl of spicy mayo, and you’ve got big flavor with zero delivery fees.
The Time Commitment: About 50 minutes — but the cauliflower is roasting in the oven for 30 of them.
Key Tips: No time to DIY your sauce? Use the bottled stuff instead. (Lindsay Ostrom — aka Pinch of Yum — is a big fan of this brand.) Also, you can mix in ground turkey, chicken, or tofu to add extra protein to this plant-based powerhouse.
Other Takes: For other ways to make cauliflower the star of the show, try…
This “alarmingly easy” Linguine With Cauliflower Pesto features toasted almonds, sweet-and-tart sundried tomatoes, buttery breadcrumbs, and a more-than-generous amount of Parmesan.
Chipotle-Roasted Cauliflower Tacos that are smoky, spicy, and just the right amount of messy. And, we should warn you, you’re committing a crime if you don’t serve them in warmed corn tortillas.
