Cauliflower Parmesan

Cauliflower Parmesan

(My husband says this tastes like a baked potato, personally, I just thought it was GOOD!!!)

Ingredients:

1/2 Head Cauliflower (next time we are going to make a whole head, we each wanted more it was so good)

1/2 Cup Heavy Cream

1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Run the cauliflower through the slicing disk on your food processor.  Put it in a microwaveable casserole, add a couple of tablespoons of water, cover, and microwave on HIGH for 4 minutes.

 

When the cauliflower comes out of the microwave, drain it and put it in a large, heavy skillet you've sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

Reduce the heat to low.  Add the heavy cream and parmesan, stir, cover, and let the whole thing simmer for 5 minutes or so.  Salt and pepper to taste and then serve.

Simple Salsa Beef

Simple Salsa Beef

A good low-carb, slower cooker recipe, very close to Roast, Potatoes, and Carrots.  :)

Ingredients:

3 Turnips, peeled and cubed

1 lb Baby Carrots (I use more like 1 1/2 lbs)

3 lbs Beef Arm Pot Roast

2 Cups Salsa

Guar or Xanthan (Optional)

Directions:

Put the turnips and carrots in your slow cooker, then place the beef on top. 

 

Pour the salsa over the lot.

Cover the slow cooker, set it to low, and let it cook for 8-10 hours.

When the time is up, remove the beef and pull it apart into shreds with two forks.

Scoop the vegetables out onto serving plates with a slotted spoon.  Pile the beef on top.  If desired, thicken the sauce with a little guar or xanthan.  Spoon the sauce over the vegetables and beef.
