    Our local Fresh Market has a weekly special for super nice ground chuck at just $3.99 a pound and I like making something a ‘different’ than plain ole burgers or meat loaf. These are a sort of ‘meatloaf on a stick’ that I can cook in minutes using my grill pan.

      Cauliflower Crust Pizza. Super good!

      A good tasting dish in its own right. Calling it pizza does not make it so, but this 'Pizza' flavored round is fresh, mild and has a cheesy goodness with none of the qualities for which cauliflower is disliked.

      Telling someone that a food or dish is low carb, healthy, low calorie, fat free, even paleo is 'the kiss of death' for many people. Folks are afraid of 'diet food', especially anything bariatric and sometimes won't even taste your food.
