Cauliflower Rice “Caulisotto” Recipe
This is a great side dish that exemplifies my current philosophy on food. In this Autoimmune-Paleo dietary regime I’m following, grains – especially gluten – are avoided.

Shirataki noodles are pretty awesome. Similar to ramen noodles, but made of yam, so they’re gluten-free and way less calories. I have since cooked nikujaga over 100 times. It’s become a regular breakfast on weekends in our household. I have[…continue reading]
