There are some people out there who don’t care for vegetables. Gasp, shocking I know. When it comes to vegetables, think cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, etc… folks turn their noses up and declare they don’t like them. I think it’s simply because they haven’t had it cooked in a way that they do like it. Take myself for example. If you had asked me a year ago if I liked beets, I would have very firmly said “NO, I hate beets” and I meant that literally. But after making a faux tomato sauce with beets, since I can’t eat real tomatoes, I’ve found out that I do like beets… at least in that sauce. : )

Spanish Fried Cauliflower
Back in the mid 80′s, a wonderful guatemalan woman showed me how to make a few of her delicious recipes, including this fried cauliflower. The first time I saw her preparing it, I was a bit sceptical on how it would taste. I mean, the only way I thought I liked cauliflower was raw and dipped in ranch dressing at that time. After she whipped up a batch of them though, my skepticism quickly turned to delight as I enjoyed some of the best cauliflower I had ever eaten. This Coliflor Envuelta en Huevo (cauliflower coated in egg) is a common dish in Guatemala, and is similar to tempura. The difference being that the coating is pillowy, instead of crispy and light.
Basic Asian Fried “Rice”
I’ll admit it, I have an addiction… to cauliflower rice! I seriously eat it at least 3 times a week. Cauliflower rice? Now hear me out before you turn your nose up at the idea of cauliflower being used as a rice replacement. This versatile vegetable is low calorie, grain and gluten free, and absolutely delicious. This fried “rice” recipe I’m going to share with you today is a perfect example.
Cottage Pie - Primalfied
With Fall quickly turning into Winter here in Southern Indiana, our menu has turned to filling comfort foods. For us that means lots of hearty soups, stews, and casseroles. One of our favorite casseroles on the homestead is Cottage Pie. Not to be confused with shepherd’s pie which is lamb based, cottage pie uses economical ground beef, along with veggies and a fluffy mashed potato topping. Until now.
