When I discovered the amount of veggies I should be eating each day with the amount I was actually eating each day, I was shocked by how few veggies I consumed. I was also surprised by how inconsistent I was. I would have days where I ate 10 servings of veggies followed by days where I ate one only serving. The surprising part for me is I’m a huge fan of veggies! I always have fresh veggies in my fridge. For many of us it comes down to prep. Let’s face it, it’s easier to grab a bag of chips than it is to wash produce and make a big salad. So, I created a few recipes to help myself and my family consume (and enjoy) more veggies. Here they are! |

Paleo Cauli-Egg muffins: Ingredients: 1 cup of riced cauliflower Preparation: 1. Spray a muffin pan with coconut oil and preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Add in’s: you can certainly put your own stamp on this recipe by adding shredded cheese, topping with avocado or using Mexican seasoning. Even Louie can’t resist 🙂 |
Cauliflower Pizza Crust: I used this premade crust from Outer Aisle. But you could certainly make your own cauliflower pizza crust. Ingredients 1 head cauliflower, stalk removed Preparation 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Recipe courtesy of Katie Lee, The Food Network |

Thai Cauli-Broc Bowl: This is one of the hottest trends in food-faux carbs. Let’s face it, carbs are super convenient and easy to eat anywhere you are. But, cauliflower? That’s usually a lot more work! Not anymore thanks to Trader Joes’ Cauliflower Rice. Cauli rice is a terrific way to sneak more veggies into every meal. Here’s how I use it: Ingredients 2 cups of Trader Joes riced cauliflower and riced broccoli Preparation 1. Spread the riced cauliflower and riced broccoli on a cookie sheet & drizzle 2 tsps. of olive oil over the rice and bake for 15 minutes at 375. Easiest Asian Salad dressing, ever! 1/2 small garlic clove, finely grated Whisk garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in olive oil, then sesame oil (dressing will thicken slightly); season with salt and pepper. Enjoy! |
