Tzatziki and Tahini

Healthy Avocado Crema
I’m such a huge Chicken-nugget Taco Fan – and its my go-to when I want an easy weeknight dinner. Although granted, I rely on Chicken nuggets or fish sticks in the freezer when I don’t have the time to cook shrimp or freshly grilled chicken 🙂 BUT, the sauce is the main part that ties…

Shrimp Coconut Curry – Instant Pot
So I’m not a big seafood person, hardly ever make seafood at home unless its making grilled Salmon or shrimp & garlic pasta. But, in the time of quarantine where groceries are scarce and we’re trying to make the most of what’s in the fridge, I dug out frozen shrimp from my freezer and it…
Cauliflower Crust Pesto Pizza
I’m becoming such a fan of Cauliflower – I’m starting to use it in everything I can think of! I love how versatile this vegetable is and I’m learning that I can actually make the unhealthiest of meals aka Pizza 🍕 into a delicious Paleo, Gluten free (option), Low carb meal! I’m going to make…
Cauliflower Fried Rice
That amazing Chinese fried rice you’re always craving but have to bear the carbs& calories that come with every bite dampen the taste a little?
