FFF (Formerly Fat Foodie) & What I made for dinner..
I love to cook, and love to eat good food and always will. I'm an unrepentant foodie. I have made some shifts in what I eat on a regular basis, and one biggie was giving up most starches, most of the time.
Something I see a lot of folks doing, especially early out- mashed potatoes.. Now, it's a given- early out, you won't get much of anything in.. but later, when you make something crying out for mashed potatoes.. try this instead:http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2012/01/better-than-potatoes -cheesy-cauliflower.html
I love her bog.. so much I got her cookbook. She cooks with real food for the most part, almond & coconut flours taking place of wheat flour. So far, I've enjoyed what I've made- and the bonus, low(er) carb and grain free!
I still change up things at times- and this one I steamed the florets plain in a uncovered bowl in the micro, used 1T half & half (don't usually have cream on hand), 3T butter, and 3T cheese to a large head cauliflower. An immersion blender or food processor works great, if using a bullet, let the cauliflower cool down before whizzing it up- then reheat before adding the cheese and whatnot. I do lower carb, but am a big proponent of good fats.. and again, in a 2oz serving (tonight's side for me) equated to: 67cals, 3 carbs, 3 prot, 1 fiber and 5g fat. That next to my 2oz of pork chop with balsamic vinegar/ginger reduction added up to a whopping 175cal meal.
This is seriously good, like it is, with some garlic... truffle oil drizzled on top- whatever you like to do to taters, do to this. If you have a potato craving, THIS will scratch it..
Next, I'm thinking of trying her brownies or cupcakes.
Some other blogs to get food ideas, since you know you get into ruts.. I do:
