Roasted Cauliflower

I have heard about roasted cauliflower but I have not made it yet, until yesterday!!!!!

The cauliflower texture and flavor tasted just like fresh air popped popcorn! 

The Ingredients:

1 head of cauliflower

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 tsp - 2 tsp lemon pepper

The Directions:

Preheat oven to Broil high.

Cut cauliflower into florets. Rise the cauliflower and pat dry. In a small microwave safe bowl melt coconut oil. Pour Coconut oil on the Cauliflower. Mix well. Sprinkle Lemon Pepper on the cauliflower. 

Add Cauliflower to oven and Broil until the cauliflower is crispy and brown. Mine took 5 - 10 minutes. The Cauliflower is still tender inside with a crunchy outer shell! 

ENJOY!!!!

Lime Pepper Salmon and Cauliflower Rice

We are now in the month of May. Are you still sticking to resolution??? 

I have stayed strong to my resolution of eating fish once a week. We have eaten a lot of Salmon and have tried new fish (some good some bad). The thing I like about this resolution is that it gives me an excuse to try new salmon recipes (some good some bad) but I am looking forward to grilling Salmon. That is if it would STOP raining! 

We have had a LOT of rain... our ground is puddling and will not go down because it doesn't seem to stop. I think in the last month we have had 2 - 3 days without rain and they were not together. 5 days of rain here, day break, 4 days of rain, you get the point. LOTS of RAIN... It has been raining so much I have not had a chance to plant my garden... PLEASE stop raining so I can plant!!!! :)

Beef Fried (cauliflower) Rice

I have a special recipe, treat, for you today!!!! 

Beef fried rice with out the rice!!!! 

I am really starting to love the versatility of cauliflower. Before eating more Primal/Paleo I did not know there were so many wonderful uses for cauliflower. I used to eat it raw or steamed. Now I enjoy rice and mashed. This is becoming a household staple! I do buy 2 heads a week... :) 

Actually - all vegetables - a wide variety are staples in our household.

Creating delicious new recipes and meals for my family is rewarding enough. We are really enjoying the new flavors and simplicity of meals! Yes, some of them take a little longer!

I have made several different version of the family favorite but this one could be the best and favorite of the family!

We could not tell the difference!!!!
