Cauliflower Crisps

I think we can all agree that one of the toughest things about being on a strict, healthy eating plan is when we get those strong cravings we just can’t keep at bay. Whether it’s chocolate, cookies, cakes or cupcakes…or even something crunchy, like a few handfuls of potato chips…we can all attest to fighting the urge. Can’t we?! Well, fight no more! Cauliflower Crisps are the perfect “carb” substitute for when you get those sudden cravings. They’re as crunchy as ever and have the perfect seasoning to trick those sneaky little taste buds into thinking they’ve just defeated you and your healthy eating goals! As an added bonus…they’re gluten and yeast-free!! These little gems make for the perfect snack, side dish or even healthy appetizer for your next party!

Neely’s Beef Short Ribs

This recipe is from the Neely’s on Food Network. I have made them many times and every time they are incredible! They absolutely melt in your mouth and the orange zest and wine make the dish even more amazing! I also use grass-fed beef from Whole Foods for this dish which makes them even better. We eat them over mashed red garlic potatoes.

Gluten-Free Greek Dip is a refreshing dip that goes great with cucumber slices, bell peppers or even Terra chips and your guests will never know it’s actually “healthy”!
