Some of you may have heard of the Master Cleanse in which you spend a few days up to a few weeks drinking a concoction of water with lemon juice, Grade B maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Now, I’m not going to go into my thoughts and opinions on cleanses as I feel the validity of any type of “cleanse”…
This was one for the record books, folks. My parents and I went in on a Berkshire hog some time ago, and I had a handful of cuts of meat in my freezer I’ve never tried before. I didn’t know pork could be cut into steaks, but now I do, and so glad for it!
I’ve started seeing shisito peppers on a lot of menus recently. So when my husband was at Trader Joe’s and spotted a bag, he picked some up, and I decided to put my own spin on a version we had at a tapas restaurant a few weeks ago. Shisito peppers are one of those adrenaline snacks. I hear that about…
Friday was my birthday. While I had a lovely evening with my husband grabbing drinks, appetizers, and seeing a wonderful ballet, I did not get cake or blow out candles. So the next morning, I decided to make myself a cake. And because I didn’t want to be left with an entire cake to nibble from all day, I wanted to make one serving only. And because it was morning, and breakfast and I love this flavor- I decided lemon poppy seed was it.
Now,
The other day I got my 3 year old to eat cauliflower for breakfast without knowing it. Sure, I put butter (grass-fed) and jelly (organic) on it, but he ate cauliflower. For breakfast. And he didn’t know it.
How did I do such a thing? I magically turned the cauliflower into round, flat patties, sort of like a cross between a pancake and a tortilla. You could probably use these for tortillas if you wanted. Or a small round sandwich.
Here’s what I used:
- 1 head of organic cauliflower, florets only
- 1 tbsp coconut flour (optional)
- 1/2 tsp psyllium husk powder (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- a few shakes of salt
Here’s what I did.
