Memorial Day is a day to honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Memorial Day started out in 1868 as “Decoration Day” and was observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country,” according to the website, VA.gov
Pilates of Pasadena staff thank all of our military personnel and veterans for their service to our country.

In Flander’s Field
By Lt. Col. John McCrae, 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

INGREDIENTS
2 pounds sweet potatoes (3 to 4 medium sweet potatoes), peeled and sliced into 1-inch chunks
1 medium cauliflower cut into small flowerets
1 or 2 bell peppers (red or green) sliced in strips
1 small yellow or white onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup water
3 chopped tomatoes or 1 can tomato sauce
Freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste
1-2 lime wedges
Warm the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and a sprinkle of salt. Add the sliced bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and peppers have softened and are turning translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the sweet potato and cauliflower, stir with onions & peppers. Add the cumin and chili powder and cook for about 30 seconds while stirring. Add the chopped tomatoes or tomato sauce and the water. Stir, cover and reduce heat to medium and maintain a gentle simmer, stir occasionally until the vegetables have softened, about 25-30 minutes.
To assemble the tacos, warm tortillas, using a large skillet over medium heat. Spread the sweet potato/cauliflower mixture down the middle of each tortilla and then top with chopped lettuce, tomatoes, salsa and guacamole. Garnish with lime wedges, cheese, green/red onions, pepitas, and anything else that strikes your fancy. Repeat with remaining tortillas and serve.
