  • Crack Slaw

    Crack Slaw

    I never paid attention to this recipe (it’s mentioned any where low carb people gather on the internet), because I thought it was coleslaw.

    Turns out, it’s not coleslaw! It’s kind of Asian inspired deconstructed cabbage rolls. That’s what it made me think of anyway. There are various versions of Crack Slaw, but I used this one as my guide.

    It was easy enough to make. It was tasty, but I didn’t get addicted to it like the name implies.

  • Cauliflower + Smoked Gouda = Yum

    Cauliflower + Smoked Gouda = Yum

    These days any recipe that has cauliflower or smoked gouda gets my attention.

    Immediately.

    Fortunately, when I came across this recipe I already had the ingredients on hand. I cooked it up and ate it for lunch.

    I think I’m on a green onion kick, too.

    I liked this, but I love cauliflower.  This is one I plan to make again, but I’ll try to remember to use black olives too.

  • Cooking From the Freezer

    Cooking From the Freezer

    I love going to the grocery store. It’s shopping that’s useful. However, it’s not convenient to go close to every other day.  Keeping a few frozen things on hand is useful for buying us an extra day or two between grocery trips.

    So for dinner I grabbed some frozen green beans and steamed them. Heated a little olive oil, butter, and minced garlic in a skillet to cook the garlic. Then, I dumped the green beans into the skillet to cover them in the garlicy, fatty yumminess.

    I took some frozen tilapia fillets that had thawed in the fridge and spread a little mayo, minced garlic, and parmesan on each fillet. On a parchment lined baking sheet, I then baked them at 425 degrees for 15 minutes until they flaked easily with a fork. Yours may require a little more or less time.

  • Yum. Very Yum. Super Yum.

    Yum. Very Yum. Super Yum.

    That’s according to one of our kids in response to tasting this meat and cream sauce dish.

    SavedPicture-2014328125656.jpg Organic Prairie ground beef picked up at Natural Grocers browned up in a skillet with a little pink Himalayan sea salt.

    Then I added about a cup of diced tomato. SavedPicture-201432813123.jpg

    Meanwhile, I had one cup of cream and two tablespoons of butter almost simmering in a small pot.

    Added to it was garlic powder and dry parsley. If you are using famous brand garlic salt, please check the ingredients and then decide to chuck it.

    Then after it reduced a little bit, I added about 3/4 cup of grated parmesan.

    The two met each other in individual bowls to make lunch. SavedPicture-2014328125842.jpg

    I agree. Yum. Very Yum. Super Yum.

  • Definitely Easy Quiche (sans crust)

    Definitely Easy Quiche (sans crust)

    One of us eats quiche. It’s not me, so I don’t know if this is actually The Best Quiche Ever!

    I do know it’s quite easy to throw together, and that he likes it. Skip the crust and place the rest in a greased pie dish for a low carb quiche.

  • Roasted Radishes

    Roasted Radishes

    I did a mash up of these two recipes:

    Taste of Home Roasted Radishes

    Shockingly Delicious Roasted Radishes

    They were pretty yum. I expected that I wouldn’t like them and planned to throw them in a no-bean hummus so as to not waste them. It’s a good thing I liked them, because my tahini had gone off.  Sad Face.

    Did you know radish is a cruciferous vegetable?

  • Almond Butter Pumpkin Bars

    Almond Butter Pumpkin Bars

    I made this recipe one evening thinking it would make a great breakfast for the kids. I don’t know if it’s good for breakfast, because we basically devoured it upon removing from the oven.

    SavedPicture-20143416349.jpg

    my husband decided to try it with a little cream poured on top

    then our son decided to try it that way with the addition of raisins

  • Pan-Fried Avocados

    Pan-Fried Avocados

    Where have you been all my life?!  I saw this recipe and knew I had to try pan-fried avocados ASAP. I love avocados and butter, so these were sure to be a hit. Oh my, they were delicious.

    The first half that I tried, I topped with seasoned ground beef, Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and green onion.

    SavedPicture-201439185013.jpg

    The other half I ate straight out of the pan. It was amazing. I preferred the unadorned pan-fried avocado.
