Cauliflower Tabbouleh Salad [Recipe]

May 6, 2016 By Laura

I have a thing for tabbouleh.

A thing I didn’t realize until I began to write this post.

Cauliflower rice has been a thing for a long time. I’ve been replacing the bulgur in tabbouleh for a long time. Therefore, it was only a matter of time until – strangely enough – I decided Cauliflower Tabbouleh needed to happen.

Despite the fact that I have have three other tabbouleh recipes on this blog – Quinoa Tabbouleh, Tofu Tabbouleh, and Tabbouleh Pasta – I really don’t eat it that often. Not that it isn’t good… I really love it. I just get lazy. However, this is the easiest tabbouleh hack yet. And it’s good. Strange, but good.

This Lightened Up Shrimp & Zucchini Scampi recipe is a quick and easy summer dish. I incorporate zucchini noodles into gluten-free pasta to keep the carb count low without sacrificing flavor.

Peanut Butter Banana Pops [Recipe]

April 15, 2016 By Laura

There is no greater combination than peanut butter and banana.

Well, maybe chocolate.

It’s more than a little strange for me to be posting such a super-simple recipe, especially one involving frozen fruit. It’s good, nonetheless. A peanut butter banana pop in the heat of the summer couldn’t sound more perfect, no?

Plus, it’s really strange and hilariously good to watch Vegas eat one of these. She forbid me from posting the pics, but they exist, trust me.

5 Minute Mango-Blueberry Egg White Oats [Recipe]

April 8, 2016 By Laura

There are very few meals I repeat.

So much to experiment with, so little time…

Egg white oats are one of the chosen few things I keep in steady rotation. Egg whites in your oats may sound strange to some of you, but I swear it’s good. #strangebutgood

You really don’t taste the egg whites at all – even Vegas will attest to that. What you CAN taste is the fresh fruit and creamy oats. I used mango and blueberries, but you can change it up depending on what’s in season.

Cauliflower Crust Breakfast Pizza [Recipe]

April 1, 2016 By Laura

Put an egg on it.

Instant breakfast.

Pizza with an egg on it seems to be catching on around San Diego. I live right by the Italian section of town, and my favorite spot has an amazing brunch pizza. Complete with an egg on it. I was craving just such a pizza yesterday and made my own version for Vegas and me.

If an egg on a pizza isn’t strange enough for you, try it on a gluten-free, dairy-free cauliflower crust pizza. It’s crazy good. #VegasApproved

I Am Certifiable + WIAW

March 30, 2016 By Laura

Some days I think I am certifiable.

Side note: Bat-shit crazy is actually the name of the group text between my mom, sisters, and me.

So… we know I tore my ACL. How about 6 days later I decided I’d still participate in a 22 mile bike ride? I mean… I’d already registered and paid the fee…

~~Vegas was so mad she would barely speak to me.~~

Bikes and Beers 22 mile ride in San Deigo

Post-race with the awesome stranger-friends who stuck with me through the ride.

Sweet Carrot Protein Shake [Recipe]

March 25, 2016 By Laura

I’ve been back in the gym for two days.

You don’t need a knee for upper body, bro!

I’m trying really hard to make sure I get allllll the protein to make sure I don’t lose a ton of muscle mass with this injury. So there have been a lot of shakes happening. Today’s is a little Easter-themed! In a #strangebutgood way, obv.

Lemon-Garlic Asparagus & Beets with Parmesan & Almonds Recipe

March 18, 2016 By Laura

I love beets.

I’m still recovering from asparagus.

Despite my timidness toward asparagus, I was lured in by a $1.99 sale at Whole Foods. Whole Foods is the source of all temptation for me. Ok, ok… Whole Foods and whiskey. And chocolate cake. I’m weak.

Back to the topic at hand… asparagus and beets. They are both normal, but you don’t often see them paired. It’s a little strange to serve them together. Which is exactly when I did in this very good Lemon-Garlic Asparagus and Beet dish.
