Each week I try to not be the worst cook in America
The biggest craze these last couple years has been Cauliflower Pizza, but truthfully, I don't actually enjoy it. I know it is healthier than traditional pizza, but to me it lacks a lot of the flavor and texture I want from a pizza! Maybe I haven't found the perfect recipe, but either way I have… Continue reading Week 39: Spaghetti Squash Pizza

But this week I decided to mix things up, and make cauliflower the star… Continue reading Week 20: Cauliflower Steak

I am typically a boxed mac and cheese kinda gal, but after this meal, I don't think I can go back. I used… Continue reading Week 18: Mac and Cheese
This week I lived my Pixar dream... except there was no mouse under my chef hat guiding me through the kitchen. When I saw the movie Ratatouille back in 2007, I thought the dish was so fancy and something only professional chefs in France made.
