Risotto is such a rich, decadent food. I mean, super creamy rice – what’s not to love? Well, I don’t love eating a giant bowl of rice. Don’t get me wrong, I eat white rice from time to time, especially if I’ve worked out that day. But a healthier option is definitely subbing cauliflower for the rice. And it actually tastes pretty amazing.

Lamb is easily one of my favorite meats. Lamb shank is one of my favorite ways to enjoy it. It’s not only incredibly healthy. Lamb shank is also reasonably priced and tastes awesome. I love lamb, and every time I say that I think of this guy: Lamb isn’t just a great source of protein but is also high in omega-3s, B12, CLA, selenium, B3, and zinc. It’s a particularly great protein if you’re planning on getting knocked up (which I am) or if you’re already knocked up. I now plan on eating this slow cooker lamb shank several times a month. So many nutrients! I served it over a mixture of mashed Japanese yams and white potatoes. It was seriously amazing.

Recently I was not in the mood to cook. Which is rare for me because I love cooking and find it relaxing. For whatever reason, I didn’t wanna do it, but also didn’t want to spend money on takeout, not to mention the fact that you rarely have any idea what’s actually in takeout. Vegetable oils? Most likely. Are they GMO? Most definitely. I didn’t want to deal with all that. Luckily, I always keep cooked white rice on hand. I’ll make a few cups of it on a Sunday to eat throughout the week. Scott and I had both worked out earlier in the day and remained pretty low carb, so I knew adding some carbs in would be a good option for both of us. And if you’re wondering how white rice is a good option or considered a safe starch, or even paleo – read this article.…

Scott and I love Mexican food. LOVE. I mean, hello, we’re American after all. Unfortunately we don’t go out to eat it very often because Mexican food is loaded with GMOs (read: corn). Corn is one of the highest genetically modified crops in the country, so everything from tortilla chips to tacos to enchiladas is likely GMO. And don’t even get me started on the vegetable oil most restaurants use. This is why I was so happy to recreate this Mexican classic. I’ve tried different recipes for the tortillas and this is my favorite. Like a normal flour tortilla, it doesn’t have much flavor but it has a the same texture and absorbs the enchilada sauce. Not to mention it’s packed with protein from the eggs instead of carbs from wheat – which spikes your blood sugar and causes inflammation. It was also pretty easy to make. Save for making…
