Steakhouse-Style Loaded Cheesy Cauliflower Mash

September 16, 2016 by Faith 5 Comments

Steakhouse-Style Loaded Cheesy Cauliflower Mash is a lower-carb alternative to steakhouse-style loaded mashed potatoes. It’s rich and creamy, and perfect paired with steak or chicken.

When I think of crowd-pleasing foods, things like pizza, chicken, rice, and ice cream come to mind. I generally wouldn’t expect cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, kale, and/or cauliflower to be on the list. The funny thing is, literally everyone who has tried this cauli mash has asked for the recipe (and that’s the real test for whether someone truly likes a dish, right? It’s easy enough to be polite and say something is delicious, but when they ask you for the recipe you know they mean business).…

Beer and Cheese Cauliflower Soup

April 1, 2016 by Faith 11 Comments

Beer and Cheese Cauliflower Soup has rich, complex flavor and rivals anything you’d get at a restaurant. It comes as a surprise (actually more of a shock) to most people when I tell them that the food scene in Buffalo is actually pretty fabulous. I kid you not though. The gamut ranges from fish fries to roast beef on weck, to Buffalo wings and chicken finger subs (which I literally can’t find anywhere else! Believe me, I’ve looked), to killer doughnuts and the best coffee ever, to name just a few of their specialties. One of mine and Mike’s top two restaurants when we lived […]...

Smoky Roasted Garlic Cauliflower “Rice” with Toasted Almonds {Paleo}

February 22, 2016 by Faith 11 Comments

Paleo Smoky Roasted Garlic Cauliflower “Rice” with Toasted Almonds is a delicious grain-free side dish that comes together easily and pairs well with any number of things. My husband is a real meat and potatoes man; and when I say meat, anything will do except pork (which we don’t eat), and by potatoes I mean starch of any kind (usually some form of pasta, bread, rice, or potatoes). You can imagine my surprise when he told me earlier this year that he wanted to cut way back on starchy foods as well as sugar! I was as happy as a lark, armed with low-carb versions […]...

Roasted Cauliflower and Pearl Barley Bowls with Creamy Tahini-Dill Dressing

Who doesnt like a good party, right? Friends, fun, food. Theres nothing not to love. Now, as a food blogger it probably comes as no surprise that I love bringing a dish to pass to a party. I usually have plenty of ideas on what will go over well. (Sports-centric = guy food, holidays = indulgence, and summer potluck = light and fresh!)...

Blue Cheese, Chicken, and Cauliflower Skillet with Bacon, Walnut, and Date Topping

April 6, 2015 by Faith 10 Comments

I go through phases when I just don’t feel like cooking. At all. Sometimes, if I’m really burned out, the better part of a week will go by before I feel inspired to cook. That’s when Mike gets to do one of his favorite things: live off the food from the Pakistani restaurant a block from where we live. It’s a windfall for him and a win for me too since I get a much-needed break and time to recharge....

Low-Carb Herbed Cauliflower “Rice” with Pine Nuts {Paleo}

December 11, 2014 by Faith 8 Comments

I know, I know… ‘Tis the season for festive foods…and festive typically leans more toward the side of indulgent descriptions like gooey, buttery, or chocolatey. So what’s the deal with this low-carb dish?...

Green Pea, Baby Potato, and Cauliflower Curry

September 10, 2014 by Faith 11 Comments

When it comes to Indian spice mixes, I have to admit that curry powder typically isn’t on my list of favorites; instead, garam masala spice mix is my much-preferred go-to. (Garam masala makes a perfect dish of Lamb Tikka Masala or Dal Makhani/Butter Lentils!)...

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably already know that I love Indian flavors....

Macaroni and Cheese with Cauliflower, Tuna, and Egyptian Roumy Cheese

March 14, 2014 by Faith 11 Comments

This dish is basically a grown-up version of Tuna Helper. (Despite my mom being the anti-processed food extremist that she was, which I now thank her for, even I tried Tuna Helper as a kid.) Don’t judge. :)...

Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower Gratin {Grain-Free; Gluten-Free}

November 19, 2013 by Faith 11 Comments

How does your family do Thanksgiving dinner? Pot luck-style with everyone bringing a dish to pass? Or maybe the person hosting makes everything and someone else hosts the next holiday? In my family, dinner is always at my mom’s house, and she and I make everything together (except for the turkey, which my mom brines and my dad roasts). We like to have an assortment of sides to please everyone because everyone has a different favorite. And it seems like there is always at least one person who is on a new diet or who found out that they are intolerant to something, and we […]...
