Bacon Fried Caulirice

Bacon Fried Caulirice - Whole30

Can cauliflower rice really taste as good as regular rice? In this Bacon Fried Caulirice, yes, yes it can.

It can be so hard giving up the food you love when you’re doing a reset (Day 7 of Whole30, I’m looking at you). Sometimes it downright sucks. I’ve been trying to make a version of my Bacon Fried Rice for a while now that still tasted really delicious and I kept missing the mark. The cauliflower was too mushy or not cooked enough. Then I read this article that recommended roasting the Caulirice. Huzzah! That did it.

Cashew Grape Chicken Salad

Cashew Grape Chicken Salad

A good chicken salad is one recipe to have in your back pocket. It’s handy in a pinch and can come together really quickly, especially if you buy pre-cooked chicken. This cashew grape chicken salad is one my mom made all the time growing up, and it’s become a go-to. It’s best on a hot summer day, but works well for any season when you need something fast.

I like to make mine Whole30 compliant, as it’s such a great recipe to have for a Whole30 because it’s so quick to make. Of course, it can be made with whatever ingredients suit your needs.

Cranberry Orange Dark Chocolate Bark

Recently I purchased a cranberry orange chocolate bar and it tasted so good – creamy and tangy, just a great piece of chocolate. While I always check ingredient labels, sometimes I miss when items are manufactured in a facility that also processes wheat. Which this chocolate bar was. Thankfully this isn’t a big issue for me as I choose not to eat gluten as opposed to others who are incredibly sensitive to it. And I thought what a shame it was that others with that sensitivity couldn’t enjoy this. Then I thought “I could totally make this”. And I was right! Introducing this cranberry orange dark chocolate bark.

Sometimes when you get home you just don’t feel like cooking. You have one of those days and don’t have the energy. For days like that I try and keep some super basic protein on hand, like pre-cooked sausages. Pair them with some roasted veggies, and boom – dinner is served.

The holidays are wrapped up in food. Starting with the turkey at Thanksgiving, on through toasting with champagne at New Years. For me, food is part of the celebration and contains strong memories.
