Fall= pumpkin. It just does. As soon as the weather turns chilly, we start to see pumpkin patches, and pumpkin spice this and pumpkin spice that. Every year this beautiful gourd gets its moment in the spotlight. Luckily, in the past few decades we have seen pumpkin extend past the obligatory pie and into breads,… Continue reading Pumpkin Cream Cups

Low-Carb Cauliflower Rice Pudding
All right I’m calling it. The best pudding in the world of puddings is rice pudding. There, I said it. Hands down one of the classic desserts – for good reason. I mean, what’s not to love? The creamy starchiness of the rice, the spiciness of the cinnamon, the aromatic vanilla wafting as it cooks. … Continue reading Low-Carb Cauliflower Rice Pudding
Zoodles in Spicy Pumpkin Sauce
Pumpkin gets its fair share come fall. We see it in pies, breads, as pastry fillings, even in beverages. Its mild flavor lends itself well to most dishes from sweet to savory, and it plays well with a variety of herbs and spices. Pretty much all types of squash are great options as a nutrient-dense… Continue reading Zoodles in Spicy Pumpkin Sauce
Low-Carb Fideo
Fideo is one of things that takes me back to my childhood. It’s a fill-your-belly-and-your-soul kind of soup that is simple, yet never basic. I could eat bowl after bowl (and I have). For those of you without the luxury of growing up with this stuff, fideo (vermicelli), is first sauteed to release its nutty… Continue reading Low-Carb Fideo
Coconut Milk Three Ways
I use a lot of coconut products: oil, cream, butter, shredded, water. All add great additions to any dish whether sweet, savory or spicy, but none reign quite as supreme in my book as coconut milk. I use it a fair amount. It is rich, creamy, and has a very similar mouthfeel to cow’s milk. … Continue reading Coconut Milk Three Ways

One bite and it is easy to see why it is considered a comfort food. There is something heavenly about a spoonful of fluffy, creamy, buttery mashed potatoes… Continue reading Mashed Cauliflower

Shallots and their mild oniony flavor pair nicely with the roasted sprouts. A simple vinaigrette coats the veggies with a sharp tanginess. The end result: flavor, flavor,… Continue reading Roasted Brussels Sprouts Salad
Everything But the Bagel Kale Chips
Kale. It can be polarizing. Some people detest it, others love it and can’t get enough of it. It gets tossed into smoothies, salads, breakfast foods, lunch items, dinner favorites – you name it. Personally, I see no downside to eating it, but it can get redundant. The texture is usually the same in most… Continue reading Everything But the Bagel Kale Chips
Southwest Chicken
There nothing new about chicken in a cream sauce. Tale as old as time. Chicken smothered in cream of mushroom or gravy has been happening for generations. However, it can be challenging to find recipes that involve creamy sauces made for dairy freers because, obviously most sauces include cream. Mimicking that mouth feel can be… Continue reading Southwest Chicken
Immune-Boosting Breakfast Bowl
Weekday breakfast is known for its quick grab and go mentality. Pop something into a toaster, nuke food in the microwave, perhaps cold fare that requires no cooking. It is rarely about sitting down and enjoying a stick-to-your ribs meal. Yes, it may be challenging to think of preparing breakfast when so many competing obligations… Continue reading Immune-Boosting Breakfast Bowl
