2016: A Year of Self-Discovery

It's probably a little too late to greet you with happy new year, which would an apt opening for this post and perhaps it's too late for my 2016 recap post - however, this pretty much represents how I approach things these days.  There has been a big shift...

Saffron Cauliflower Rice

Saffron Cauliflower Rice

Now you know that I love experimenting with my low carb alternatives to mix into my every day for when I'm fancying something a bit lighter to serve with my curry or pasta sauce.  Cauliflower rice has become a low-carb favourite of mine, all you need is a...
