Soup's on!

Cream of cauliflower soup. YUM! :) 

Roasted cauliflower & chicken soup come together to create this heart-warming masterpiece

What a cute soup bowl!!!! Perfect for the month of October :)

The most delectable soup for a chilly October day. Try it out, I know you'll love it!!!! :) It's easy! Just roast a head of cauliflower with a sprinkle of olive oil, then toss it in the blender with some homemade chicken soup & VOILA! Cream of cauliflower soup. Add a few pinches of salt & pepper for some kicks. Be careful, it's known to cause overindulgence!! ;)

Aroma Therapy

The tantalizing, mouth-watering aroma of my cauliflower pizza. Can you smell it? Perhaps you can think of this as a stare-&-sniff. Focus, focus, focus!!!! :) Let me know if that works... 


So what we have here is an amazing concoction. A pizza crust consisting of merely cauliflower, eggs, farmer's cheese, & garlic. THAT IS IT!!!!! And let me tell you it is positively GOURMET!!!!!! The chosen sauce for this dish consists of basil, EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), & farmer's cheese. Ah-MAY-zing!!!! :D The topping for my pizza is sauteed mushrooms, ground beef, & olives. Perfect texture!!! Easy to create & even easier to enjoy. You guys must try this next time you feel like an extraordinary dinner. It's worth all the cooking, I promise!!! 


For those of you who follow the SCD, I hope you're jumping for joy!!! PIZZA!!!! :) Did you ever think in your wildest dreams that you'd have an opportunity to chow down on some yummy pizza again? I know I didn't!!! But please, pretty please, don't misunderstand me here. In no way, shape, or form do I miss the SAD. I just miss convenient foods such as pizza. Nothing is on the fly anymore as you all know & sometimes it can be a tad BIT tiring! The best part about this pizza is that it IS convenient!! After you go through the hard labor of cooking it, of course... Once it's complete, you can freeze little individual slices & pop them in the microwave the next morning as your breakfast for champions! :) The flavors are equally as delicious reheated. Have I done a thorough job of tickling the heck out of your taste buds? Don't deny them any longer!!!! Answer their prayers!! 


If I haven't inflicted enough damage to your eyes by convincing you that this is a stare-&-sniff, wait till my next post. You won't be able to drive until tomorrow morning. Unless my family & I decide to humorously attempt to conduct a yoga session this afternoon, I should have the next post published by tonight. I highly recommend taking these next few hours to relax your weary eyes & prepare for another stare down. Perhaps take a couple slices of cucumber & work some magic on those gems of yours. Wouldn't want to sit the latter post out!! ;)

Just keep staring. Stare directly into the pizza. Smell it yet?

This has an aroma you can't beat. I KNOW you can smell this. 

Pizza crust slices on broil, releasing their garlic-y scent. I bet you're starting to cringe, it's strong I know!! 

SCD the gourmet way!

Why hello there, darling foodies!!!!! :) 


It's been a few days since I last posted; I've been extremely preoccupied with feeling fabulous!!!!!!! Things are moving right along for me. I seem to have achieved the perfect balance of carbs & proteins, with a new hint of fats. In addition to that, my body has decided to run smoothly like a well-oiled machine! This past Friday I introduced swiss cheese with no problems!!!!!! YIPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! I know, I'm cheering about cheese??? It can't be! Alas, I must tell you it's true. I loved it. Me, the all-time cheese hater. :) Funny how the SCD changes your taste buds, isn't it? To continue with the magic, I introduced almond butter on Sunday & so far have experienced NO problems!!!! DELISH!!!! The particular legal brand we bought delivers an intensely decadent nutty flavor; it's safe to say I treat it as a dessert!! Goodbye peanut butter. Almond butter is here to stay. :) Last night I took a leap of faith & introduced SHRIMP! Let's just pretend that I ate it like a lady & didn't inhale it like a loose animal in the kitchen... I mean, come on. Would you expect any different from a hopeful & hungry SCDer?? I think not. ;)


Anyway, onto the tasty things in life!! I've somehow forgotten to post these pictures you see below & for that, I do apologize!! :) The first dish is what I like to call my "Mock Potatoes, Anyone?" mashed cauliflower mounds. To the naked tongue, you couldn't distinguish between mashed potatoes & my mashed cauliflower mounds!! A beautiful compilation of carbs, protein, & fat: cauliflower, DCCC, butter. I steamed the cauliflower until it reached the maximum level of mush, then mixed in the cheese & a little butter to kick it up a few notches. I then scooped out mounds of the mixture onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet to freeze as ready-to-cook snacks in the future!!! Thanks for the genius idea, mom! <3 Anything to eat on the go is a nice treat for a SCDer. The second dish is known as my "Too Delicious" chicken burgers with broccoli, DCCC, fresh lemon juice, & ground pepper. Another delightful combination of protein & carbs. I cooked these up & found them to be too good to stop at one. I think I ate 3 in one sitting! :) I simply emptied the ground chicken thighs into a baking bowl along with a hefty amount of DCCC, a boatload of lemon juice, several stalks of steamed broccoli, & a nice pinch of ground pepper. Then using a large spoon, I mixed it all together & dropped the burgers onto my greased skillet to be cooked. PERFECTO!!!!! :) Pop these in the fridge & save them for later OR inhale several of them right off the skillet. Whichever you prefer!!!! 


Well, I'm off to create a SCD bumper sticker!!! :) Look out for a sneak preview in the upcoming future. I sincerely hope you guys try out my goodies!! Their flavors come through in EVERY BITE!!!!! Love you all. <3 

Absolutely, positively, 100% delicious :) 

Addicting, irresistible, juicy burgers the RIGHT way :D
