I had some last night without any red sauce and I brought some to work with me to have as a snack today. Not sure I'll make this again, but it wasn't a waste of time nor money.

Maybe, besides some of the suggestions Sweet Bliss had, add some smoked crumbled bacon in it?

I would put two heads of garlic... I LOVE garlic....

Califlower is pretty bland, you can do ANYTHING to it... Great sub for taters.

Thank you so much Orema for taste testing this recipe!!!

Great suggestions and it all sounds good—especially the bacon

. The only reason I wouldn't make it again is because it is so doggone fattening and my body just doesn't process fat as well as it used to.

Edit: I should add that it's very tasty. I made a lot and took some to work. Everyone liked it who tried it. And, I'll use cauliflower instead of noodles the next time I have a strong craving for Mac and cheese.

Well, that's a darn good reason.

A couple of new Paleo recipes landed in my inbox today that I am going to try(especially those sweet potato pancakes) so I thought I would share some of them here. I am going to try the pancakes as soon as I replenish my egg supply.

CREAMY CUCUMBER TAHINI SALAD DRESSING
Detoxinista.com

A creamy vegan dressing that is addictive over any number of veggies.

INGREDIENTS ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
5 tablespoons raw tahini (no added oil)
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped cucumbers (about 4 ounces)
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons water

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth. Adjust any seasoning to taste, and then chill until ready to serve. Like most dressings, the flavor gets even better the longer it sits, and it also thickens a bit. (Feel free to add a splash of water if you need to thin it out later.) Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

No Tahini is not really Paleo,( no seeds really are) however, it is low in carbs for a dressing/dip and has 2.6 grams of Protein per tablespoon...plus it is high in potassium and contains other vitamins and minerals. Not being a Paleo purist personally, I choose to keep a jar of Tahini in house.

This is a 3 part article written by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD (aka The Paleo Mom) that I found to be quite interesting, perhaps you will as well.

The Diet We’re Meant to Eat, Part 3: How Much Meat versus Veggies?

I put a meat order in on Sunday and it arrived this afternoon. I included a stick of pemmican with the order to see if I like it or not. I consider myself adventurous when it comes to trying new foods so I was anxious to try it.

I love it! So does Sadie, but it's all mine...well mostly. It looks like a slim jim but a little fatter around. The texture is soft with chewy bits of jerky in it. Think beef paté with tiny bits of beef jerky in it.

As for taste, it is very mild tasting like a beef paté minus the seasonings. It also has beef tallow. Although it doesn't taste greasy after you've eaten it you can feel it on your lips, but not in a gross way, at least not to me. In fact, I know people who use beef tallow to make chap stick and balms.

The stick I ate today, satisfied my hunger without that overfull filling, and provided me with plenty of energy.

I will definitely include a few sticks of this on my meat orders to have for breakfast along with a few nuts and some berries. It is also available with a little honey and cherries in it, which I may try in the near future. Sorry to gross you out if you hate paté.

The ingredients are: Beef jerky, beef tallow, water, sea salt
