Plate of roasted cauliflower florets with a golden, crispy coating.

Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower

This is a delicious old/new way to serve this vegetable - this is how my grandma made it. We've been eating cauliflower this way for years.

Green Beans with Mushroom Sauce - Homemade Green Bean Casserole

I've created a low fat creamy mushroom sauce to coat the fresh green beans. The Alexia Onions are optional, but a few add incredible flavor and crunch. This is a really delicious version of a dish I have always hated.

Mini savory muffins in a baking tray beside a plate with fresh parsley on patterned cloth.

Cheddar 'Tater' Tots

When given a choice, people always choose the Tots! Easy, cheesy, roasty, toasty and delicious. DO NOT tell your family these are cauliflower, or they wont eat them.

Cowboy Beans

Take a bowl of these to a bbq and watch them disappear. Super delish, easy to make and full of flavor. Plus they make your protein slurpy and moist - WIN!

Southern Style Green Beans Slowly Simmered

This recipe is for preparing soft, smoky southern style green beans.  And the only way to do it right is by simmering the green beans slowly with low heat.  A recipe that is not only delicious, it fits within the bariatric diet parameters.

Caramel Pecan Sweet Potatoes. Zero Sugar Added

The dish stands on its own and goes beautifully with holiday turkey. The Starbucks Sugar Free Caramel Syrup adds incredible flavor without turning this into a high sugar, high calorie dish.
