Toss califlower with olive oil, garlic, s/p and Parmesan cheese . Roast for 10 min

I mixed to cup of cooked brown rice, spinach, green onions, slivered almonds and lemon juice with the roasted cauliflower and served hot with the mahi mahi.

Let them eat cake!

I tried a different spin on better than sex cake (my wife's fave). Although she still prefers the original chocolate, I LOVED this version! 

Gf yellow cake mix

Cook as directed, poke holes while warm, pour caramel sauce of your choice (I make my own, super easy...just google) sprinkle with sea salt and frost with a mixture of cream cheese frosting, sour cream and whip cream. I finished it off with some crushed Heath bar :)

Home made bolognese

Mmmmmm! Worth every minute, but make this on a day you have to spend in the kitchen and salt carefully, all the ingredients are salty! Thanks to my friend Ali Post for the great recipe!

3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter

3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

1 Celery Stalk chopped

1 Carrot peeled and chopped

1 Yellow Onion chopped

½ pound ground beef…I used the leanest cut they have only b/c the rest of the meats make up the fat content

½ pound Italian sausage

2 oz. prosciutto, chopped

2 oz pancetta, chopped

2 Tablespoons tomato paste diluted in 1/3 Cup of water

¼ Cup Tomato Sauce

1 Cup Dry Red Wine (I used Cabernet Sauvignon)

1 Cup Beef Stock

1 Cup Milk

Salt and pepper

 

1 pound gf egg noodles

Grated parmesan for serving

 

In a large pot or dutch oven melt butter with the olive oil over medium heat.  Add the celery, carrot and onion and sauté until softened about 15 min, (I salt and pepper to taste.)  Add beef, sausage, prosciutto and pancetta and sauté stirring often breaking meat apart cook about 10 min (also I add salt and pepper here too).  Stir in tomato paste/water, tomato sauce and wine and cook until wine is almost all absorbed into the meat, about 10-15 min.  Add the milk and beef stock, salt and pepper again and bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low and simmer for about an hour and a half stirring about every 30 min.  I uncovered at this point and let it simmer an additional hour before serving so it would thicken and the liquid would reduce and I did have to turn up the heat on my stove to about medium low for this part of it and I did stir it every 10-15 min.  Serve over pasta topped with parmesan.

Delish!
