Cindy's Recipes

Doesn't eating well make you feel so good!  I know we all like to sneak something bad then you hate how you feel.   So, why do we punish our bodies.  I love cooking my own food and enjoying the flavors.

This has become a favorite and it is so easy to make!  I hope you enjoy this dish too and try my Paleo Scallion Pancakes with this!  So yummy... xo

I was watching the food network and caught this recipe.  I had the large 28 ounce cans from sauce and changed the recipe a little to accommodate the larger cans and make them more of an adult bread. 

From Cindy!  I don't like to open a package for just a portion of the ingredients.  Therefore I also wanted to use the entire container of raisins!

Have you ever put theses amazing flavors together!  Give it a try....

I can't believe how easy this vegan parmesan cheese is to make and it taste AMAZING!  

This is another way I share my love for Cauliflower and Italian together!  This is delicious!  Go ahead and give it a try.  Enjoy xo Cindy

OK big news today!  When I was visiting my friend Teal at Sons and Daughter farm and winery I learned a few things.  First I had an amazing wine sampling then of course I went for my 2 jugs of kombucha.  While I was there her and David took me on a little tour and my takeaway was Yucca Root.  OMG...

Teal brought my a tasting of tapioca pudding their chef made from yucca root and it was the best I ever had.  I just love the texture of tapioca pudding and it was to die for!  Really.....

She also told me that the yucca root made a great thickening agent and also how you make cassava flour.

While I am doing our HewFit Challenge at our gym and the "game" excludes any flours even (almond, coconut, tapioca, etc) so I grabbed a yucca root to make Cauliflower cakes.  

Enjoy!

OMG this is amazing!  Enjoy xo

Cindy's Note:  I love chickpeas! 

This is a perfect side with any dish or add as many vegetables you want to make it a meal.  You can either add your favorite flavor profile; Italian, Asian, Indian, Mexican, etc...   

I love to make a big batch and scoop out servings during the week. Just warm and enjoy (or eat cold)

In our modern age you can now find riced cauliflower in the freezer section and ready to go.  Or you can pick up a head of cauliflower and rice yourself.  

We just love summer vegetables.  At our summer lake house we love to grill and entertain.  My husband and I just love salmon and my Cauliflower Rice Succotash was the perfect accompany for our dinner.  Everything was cooked on the grill and we ate outside.

Perfect summer dinner with friends.

Cindy's Note:  I made this dish on the grill.  You can also prepare in your own kitchen stove top. Feel free to boil the corn.

As I have been surprisingly on several cauliflower recipes a taco was inspired while walking through the farmers market and watching everyone eating various tacos!  This was experimenting yummy!!!!

Enjoy xo

My husband was in India a few months back and our friends sent him home with a suitcase full of spices.  I decided to make a dish with some of my favorite ingredients chickpeas and peas.  Traditionally this dish is not prepared with green peas but I love them so they were added and I loved every bite!  

I have to admit that these spices are not used often in my kitchen and the combination was a little hot " spicy hot" for me but I still enjoyed it very much.  I will defiantly make it again.

I also made a batch of my Paleo Naan Bread to dip in the sauce and what a super yummy dish!  

These cookies are amazing!  I topped each cookie with green sugar for Christmas.  You can use any sugar you desire.  Enjoy

My family loves when I let them know we are having Chicken Parmesan for dinner! It's funny because many times when we go out to dinner my husband will order Chicken Parmesan then say, "that is not as good as your".  I always ask him why he orders it when we both know he won't like it!  

I love my chicken very thin for cutlets and therefore for parmesan.  I hope you love my chicken parmesan.  It's so easy to make your own tomato sauce - here is my recipe!

Enjoy

Chicken Scallopine is one of my favorite dinner for 2 Italian Recipes! This chicken recipe is perfect for Valentine's day as you can prepare in advance and just let simmer on the stove with sauce. Just don't forget to take out the toothpicks before serving this delicious chicken recipe to your honey dinner!

I like to add Fontina cheese but if you are following the Paleo diet you can omit!

You need 2 pans and less then 1 hour to prep, cook, set the table and enjoy this dinner!  This is quick and easy for a weeknight dinner or perfect for entertaining. Just add a fresh green salad to complete this dish.

Sometimes you just want Chinese food but not all of the calories and MSG from takeout. It's so easy to make better than takeout Chinese food at home.  

I served this dish with my Cabbage and Cauliflower Fried Rice and Scallion Pancakes.  All Paleo and delicious.  Enjoy takeout Chinese at home!

I love cannoli's!  Let's just start there.  I remember when I was little my Nana and I would spoon out all of the ricotta filling from the shell of the cannoli and would laugh like little kids.  I really miss her especially around the holidays.  I just hope I am as good as a grandmother as she was to me!  

I came up with these cookies as it has the ingredients as a cannoli but in the form of a cookie. 

Please enjoy and Merry Christmas xo

Make these once and you will be hooked! Promise! You can serve these with spaghetti squash or your favorite pasta!. It is delicious and I recommend you try them.

Sometimes I create a meatball sandwich with a medium size portabella mushroom and that is a meal you won't forget. Other times I just like my meatballs in a bowl with my homemade sauce and just enjoy every bite!

This make a full batch of meatballs! Just freeze what you don't use. Enjoy.
