As Thanksgiving approaches we start to put together our meal plans. For some of you it will be a little different this year because you decided to make a change to your diet and you want to continue with a delicious healthy meal on your Thanksgiving table. What you might not realize is that there…
Cauliflower and Leek Mash + The Paleo Foodie Cookbook
Cauliflower mash is one of my favorite side dishes. It’s so easy to make so I end up making it all the time. I was started to get board with my usually cauliflower mash and was browsing through The Paleo Foodie Cookbook to get some side dish inspiration. I stumbled upon the Cauliflower and Leek…
Chicken Fajita Stuffed Peppers
Chicken Fajita Stuffed Peppers Recipe I know I missed Cinco de Mayo and didn’t post this recipe in time, but Chicken Fajitas all great all the time. These stuffed peppers have all of the flavors of chicken fajitas with none of the grains. I used my Homemade Fajita Seasoning which is easy to throw together…
Cinnamon “Rice” Breakfast Pudding
Grain Free Cinnamon “Rice” Breakfast Pudding I’ve talked a lot about how I don’t eat eggs for breakfast and it’s not because I don’t think eggs are a superfood with lots of nutritional value. It’s simply because 1) I hate the taste of eggs…no matter how many different ways I’ve tried them 2) I think…
Grain Free Chicken Pot Pies
After making a super easy creamy cauliflower sauce I ended up having some leftovers and I knew it would be perfect in a casserole type dish without adding a ton of dairy. I had a huge craving for Chicken Pot Pie so of course I had to make a grain free and paleo version to…
Creamy Zucchini Noodles with Bacon (Dairy Free)
So lately I’ve had an obsession with mashed cauliflower since it’s such an easy side dish. I usually steam some frozen organic cauliflower (or fresh if I have some hand), add some ghee, salt, and pepper. Then I just buzz it with my immersion blender until it’s smooth. So perfectly easy and delicious! Well, I…
Cheesy Grain Free Garlic Bread
Did you know cauliflower is supposed to be a trendy food in 2014? Well that’s totally fine with me because I love cauliflower. It’s an awesome veggie that makes eating paleo and low carb easy. Cauliflower is so versatile! You can use it as a substitute for rice, potatoes, or even pizza. My latest adventure…
Cheesy Rosemary Focaccia Bread A Guest Post from Mindful Mama
Over the next few months I will be busy working on my next eCookbook, which is scheduled to be out in December 2013. While I’m focused on the new cookbook I didn’t want to leaving you without your fix of low carb and paleo recipes, so I reached out to some of my favorite bloggers…
Broccoli and “Rice” Casserole
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…
Five Ingredient Friday: How to Make Cauliflower Rice
One of the first lessons in my grain-free kitchen was about how to make Cauliflower Rice. One of my favorite low carb and grain free substitutes to use is cauliflower in place of rice. It’s very easy to whip up a batch of cauliflower rice and it works well in most recipes. Cauliflower rice is…
Bacon and Tomato Quiche a Guest Post by Beauty and the Foodie
and Over the next few months I will be busy working on my next eCookbook, which is scheduled to be out in December 2013. While I’m focused on the new cookbook I didn’t want to leaving you without your fix of low carb and paleo recipes, so I reached out to some of my favorite…
Five Ingredient Fridays: Taco and “Rice” Bake
Let’s face it…we’re all busy. Making good decisions in regards to our diets can often be clouded by the fact that our time is limited. Starting today, I am introducing a new series: Five Ingredient Fridays. Every Friday I will share with you a recipe or technique that uses 5 Ingredients or fewer. The idea…
Cheesy Zucchini “Rice”
Me and dairy haven’t gotten along in many years. I used to fill the void by downing tons of those Lactaid pills or by eating fake dairy. Eventually I had to add more and more of those pills for it to even be effective. One day I decided that it was ridiculous to take so…
Buffalo Wing “Hummus”
It’s always great to have different dips around for all of the summer BBQs. Instead of serving the dips with chips, sliced veggies or even homemade grain-free crackers, make a great option. All of the crunch and none of the guilt! This version of “hummus” uses cauliflower instead of chickpeas. The cauliflower creates a smooth…
Paleo Pen Pals and Paella (Low Carb and Paleo)
This month I participated in Paleo Pen Pals. I had participated in a foodie pen pal group before, but I was looking for something a little more low carb/paleo friendly. Luckily, Tarah from What I Gather and Brittanie from Three Diets One Dinner had the great idea of forming a Paleo Pen Pals exchange. Basically…
Tuscan Chicken Soup (Low Carb and Paleo)
It’s really hard to believe, but we actually had snow flurries in South Carolina. I’m not used to the cold weather especially since most of this year’s winter has been spent with temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s. I needed something to warm me up. I remembered that when I was doing my Whole30…
#Whole30 Taco and “Rice” Stuffed Acorn Squash (Paleo and Low Carb)
My Whole30 is over, but I wanted to share the meal I had on the last day….Taco and “Rice” Stuffed Acorn Squash. I absolutely loved the slightly sweet acorn squash paired with the spiciness of the taco meat and caul-rice. They balance each other out very well. Acorn squash is a nice hearty vegetable that…
Days 2 & 3 and #Whole30 Cottage Pie (Low Carb and Paleo)
Days 2 and 3 have gone well. I was really nervous about traveling while on the Whole30. I had to travel the last time I did a Whole30, but I had more control over what I ate on that trip. This time I wasn’t going to have the same control so I needed to be…
Fried "Rice" (Low Carb and Paleo)
I’ve really been in the mood for Fried Rice lately, but since Chinese take-out is off limits I needed to use my favorite rice substitute. Cauli-rice makes a wonderful replacement for rice because it takes on flavors really well. In the past, I’ve used cauli-rice to make Italian Wedding Soup, Low Carb Sushi, and Chicken,…
Low Carb Butternut Squash "Risotto" a Guest Post for Food Renegade (Paleo)
Today’s recipe is a guest post for Kristen over at the Food Renegade. I’m always looking for ways to get more veggies on the dinner table. One of my favorite substitutes is using cauli-rice for regular white rice. In just minutes, you can easily turn a head of cauliflower into a rice substitute. This time…
Italian Wedding Soup (Low Carb and Gluten Free)
Fall is officially upon us so that means soup season is here! Yes, I know it is still ridiculously hot in South Carolina, but when I have the AC on full blast it gets pretty chilly! (I kid, I kid) I definitely had soup on the brain and my fiance loves soup so I’m always…
Roasted Cauliflower and Asparagus Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing (Low Carb and Gluten Free)
My latest cooking adventure was Low Carb Roasted Cauliflower and Asparagus Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing. Ever since I found out just how absolutely fabulous roasted cauliflower is I have been thinking of different ways I can use it in recipes. I have making various salads a lot lately and I decided to combine by…
Low Carb Sushi
My latest cooking adventure was Low Carb Sushi. One of my favorite things to eat is Japanese Hibachi. It is definitely a good place to eat low carb because you can substitute the rice for extra veggies (just be careful of sauces, like teriyaki, which could have added sugar). Lately, I like to cook at…
Herb Pesto Chicken with Roasted Cauliflower
My latest cooking adventure is Herb Pesto Chicken with Roasted Cauliflower. I was so indecisive about what to do for dinner over the weekend. I was so close to just taking the easy route by going out to dinner, but I really didn’t want to do that. Lately going out to each just throws off my…
Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Fried “Rice”
Tonight’s cooking adventure was Asian style Chicken Lettuce Wrap with Fried “Rice.”
