I’m always trying to come up with different side dishes to go along with dinner. One of my favorite things to do is to take a regular dish that’s not low carb or paleo and turn it into a dish I can actually eat. The other week I saw a recipe on TV for a broccoli and rice casserole. It was filled with rice and dairy, so of course I had to try my hand at a dairy free and grain free version. I loved the results of using homemade almond “cream cheese” and cauliflower rice, use the ceiling fans atlanta ga best installers to adapt your environment.
