Cauliflower is having a moment and I am fucking here for it. In a somewhat effective effort to get thin for summer, I’ve been toying with low-carb options. As anyone who has given up bread knows, after 2 days you feel so deprived and are like screw this and then eat an apple pie, so eating satisfying foods is KEY. I’ve been having this for lunch almost every day and have officially tricked my brain into thinking I am actually eating pizza when really I am basically eating a salad. Minimal prep and I have meals for the week.
Ghetto Tom Kah
What this isn’t: an authentic Tom Kah recipe. What this is: delicious, comparable in taste to traditional Tom Kah, takes 5 minutes to prep, and you likely already have the ingredients. I like to bulk up the soup with a ton of vegetables, which, again, isn’t the traditional way to make it, but hey! it’s my recipe.I make a batch of this and have dinner for the whole week. If needed, you can add tofu or shrimp (WILD CAUGHT) as a protein source.
Chicken of the Sea
After eating salmon for more days in a row than I feel comfortable sharing, I decided I could not eat one single bite more of that delicious little fish for at least a month and needed to shake things up. Let me add that I love salmon bc of how easy it is. I tried cooking halibut to no avail: the fire-alarm may have gone off, so I wasn’t particularly inclined to try again. As I racked my brain, I thought to myself…….what about tuna???
Greens to Glow
Despite being pretty healthy and knowing I SHOULD be eating greens every day, I don’t particularly enjoy the pressure of meeting that quota. However, if you want to have glowing, dewy skin you just gotta do it. It also makes it harder that most “greens” associations are salads aka dinner or lunch. Since I don’t love salads I needed a new solution so I came up with one! I now eat an entire container of spinach/kale every single day and get it in first thing in the morning so there are no excuses (I make this at night, every night, and let it sit in the fridge overnight so it’s ready in the morning). Try it and you can now justify your shitty dinner - you’re welcome!
