I love to share all the fun menu ideas including the ways to prepare the food that is truly making a difference in our lives. Today I share a grape tomato and cauliflower cake recipe for an anti-inflammatory diet. Here are a few of my favorite images from this post.
As a rule, I am on a mission to find the facts when it comes to healthy living. Over the years I’ve learned that some of the best places to find facts are from case studies and research that has been collected by University studies rather than just following someone’s opinion..
Why Grape Tomato and Cauliflower
Firstly, this recipe is great during the end of the garden season when you have plenty of extra herbs and tomatoes on hand to add to this recipe. The fresh basil addition to this recipe is by far my favorite ingredient. There are so many great basil varieties out there but the globe or party pesto basil are my favorites hands down. Lastly, be sure to take advantage of the print recipe option below so you can add this to your kitchen notes. Keep scrolling to get the recipe!
3 Food Choices for Arthritis
- The extra virgin olive oil in this recipe is loaded with heart-healthy fats. Extra virgin olive oil has properties similar to non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Calcium and vitamin D are found in Parmesan Cheese in this recipe that helps strengthen bones.
- Consuming foods from the allium family such as garlic which is in this recipe as well. This helps with fewer signs of early osteoarthritis (OA). Research shows the compound diallyl disulfide in garlic may limit cartilage-damaging enzymes in human cells.
- grape tomatoes are excellent for reducing inflammation due to their high content of antioxidants, specifically lycopene, vitamin C, and potassium.

Thank you for stopping by my page Nancy – this recipe is yummy! I recently added a tumeric plant to my dome garden. I can’t wait to share more about that with you soon.
This looks and sounds amazing, Bren! I use turmeric as much as possible and find it especially great with eggs, any style. This is on my To Make List for sure. Thanks!
Hi – I make this recipe using whole wheat flour and add diced green chiles. So delicious I make it once a month or so. (I usually add a bit more turmeric than called for!)
