Monday Munchies: Southern Roasted Cauliflower Salad

 You know how macaroni salad is usually the last thing to be eaten at the potluck? This side dish is based on a version Josef’s mom had at a barbeque restaurant that was the exact opposite of that. This recipe maintains the sweet, spicy, savory complexity while cutting the carbs dramatically. This makes about 4 servings. Enjoy!

Ingredients

 1 head cauliflower                                                                          

2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil for dressing           

1/2 cup diced red pepper                            

3 tbsp sweet pickle relish (you can find this sugar free!)                                                              

1/2 cup Greek yogurt                                                                     

1 tbsp yellow mustard                                                                    

1/2 tsp paprika

1 tsp cayenne

1/2 tsp salt

 Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400?. Quarter cauliflower head, cut out the hard core, and break up florets into roughly 1 1/2″ pieces. Toss with 2 tbsp melted butter, and spread in a single layer on foil-lined baking sheet. Roast 25-30 minutes until tender.

 2. Remove baking sheet from oven. Remove foil with cauliflower still in it and lay flat on counter to cool.

 3. Mix all remaining ingredients together in large bowl, and add cauliflower when cooled. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Monday Munchies: Dinner under 10minutes!?!

Sometimes I need dinner in a hurry! Do you?  There are evenings when I get home hungry with not much patience for cooking dinner but still wanting something delicious and healthy.  In less than 10 minutes (maybe even 5 minutes!) you can have a terrific dinner ready. I prefer using a stove-top grill pan but any pan will work.

Ingredients:

1. Grass-fed steak – sandwich cut (this is a thin cut so it cooks super fast)

2. 1 medium to large tomato

3. fresh mozzorela

4. salt, pepper, other spices to taste

5. Olive oil and balsamic vinegar

6. Spray coconut oil or butter for pan

Directions:

1. Heat skillet/stove top grill pan while you season the steak.

2. Spray pan and throw on the steaks!

3. Slice washed  tomoates and mozorella.

4. Flip steak.

5. Arrange tomato and mozzarella on a plate and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinager. (I also like to sprinkle with salt and pepper.)

6. Check steak is cooked to your liking and dig in!
