Tasty comfort food!
This is a great comfort food dish and perks up the regular cauliflower cheese with the addition of a strong cheese and walnuts. I adore this dish and have to be restrained from eating the whole dish myself…I growl like a rabid dog if I have to share this… Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Glorious cauliflower!
Yet another way to eat the versatile cauliflower! This time the cauliflower is cut into four large slices and roasted. Then served with a tomato sauce and olive relish on the side. It can be a great supper dish or perhaps a starter? Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Healthy and tasty!
When I told the Chief Taster I was making a tofu, cauliflower and cabbage stir fry he made a face and shuddered. Once I slathered this with a satay sauce he could not get enough of it. I made this with peanut butter but almond butter would be equally as nice and better with the carbs I think. When using peanut butter use a good natural made one…one without bags of sugar. This is a great way to perk up cabbage and cauliflower too! Not the usual veggies for a stir fry but they go so well with this sauce. Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Yummy!
This is loosely based upon a traditional Turkish recipe called Imam Bayildi, which translated means “the Imam fainted” (the Imam is an Islamic religious leader). It was called this because the Imam found the recipe so delicious he fainted. I have yet to faint at a dish so delicious but a few times have made lots of happy noises and growled at anyone trying to take a taste! This is a perfect starter or great as a main with a side salad. A great dish to prepare ahead as it is served cold and great for the packed lunch box too! Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Tasty Sunday brunch dish!
A perfect Sunday brunch or easy supper dish that can have many variations with added feta cheese and other different herbs and spices. It is a spiced tomato and egg dish with its origins in north-Africa, but is also highly popular in Israel and Turkey. Basically, this dish is poached eggs in a tomato gravy with some peppers. Traditionally this is served with warm crusty bread and a fresh salad but we serve it with our own variation of low carb bread to dip into the rich tomato sauce. It’s great by itself though.

Don’t share! Have it all!
I’ve come across a few coconut flour pizza recipes but this one from http://eatthecookie.wordpress.com/ is my favourite. This gives a fairly firm but thin based pizza with a slightly sweet taste. You can counter this with some salt and herbs in the mixture. We could eat this with our hands too which makes a change for gluten free pizzas! Since this is made out of coconut flour, it is very high in fibre and filling too! Let alone low in carbs and gluten free! Woohoo! Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Supper time! Perfect for those cold evenings!
This is my take on the British dish, cottage pie, but has no potato and meat. Cauliflower is used as the mashed topping. You could make this vegan by leaving out the cheese in the topping. Another spin on this is to use a minced meat (beef or chicken perhaps) in the sauce too if you wish. I made the bottom spicy as I liked the combination of the spicy vegetables with the creamy, cheesy topping. Omit this is you want. Go crazy, have a play around with it and enjoy the mashed cauliflower! Yummy! Tell me more Diva…
Yummy veggies in cauliflower rice
I was trying to make an alternative to a vegetarian version of Paella but decided just to call this vegetable rice. I am enjoying using cauliflower as an alternative to rice…the joy of cauliflower yet again! You could throw some cooked chicken or some prawns in this but my version just has veggies. The essential ingredient is the flavourings really, add those and any veggies will do! Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Baked cabbage..it’s tasty..trust me!!
Many years ago, I used to make this dish but used peanuts and a not so friendly cheese sauce. So I have revived this with toasted cashews and took away the choux cheese sauce and replaced it with a more carb friendly one. We both love cabbage and to pour a cheese sauce over it is just devine to us. Add some nuts for a little extra taste and voila! Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Big chunks of pumpkin!
The wonderful colours of autumn herald the season of the pumpkin! The vibrant orange colour brightens up the shelves and the tough skin yields a vegetable full of goodness! It is one of the very low calorie vegetables and contains no saturated fats or cholesterol. It is rich in dietary fiber, anti-oxidants, minerals, vitamins. I thought that I would make a curry as the sweetness of the pumpkin would combine nicely with spices and coconut. I threw some spinach in it just to add another splash of colour! Yummy!
