Carolina Balloon Fest

I have been anticipating attending the Carolina Balloon Fest since we moved to the Carolinas, however, it wasn't until this year that we were able to make it happen. What a fun day! 
All of the carnival food might've been tempting for a minute, but I'm so glad I brought carrots, hummus, and this juice from Evolution Fresh!

Don't miss it next year!

Cauliflower Rice Kale Curry Soup


My friends had a Fall Soup Party, so naturally, I provided something gluten-free, dairy-free, and loaded with kale and detoxifying ingredients...sounds boring right?! 
Think again! 
This was a hit and it made for some pretty fantastic leftovers. 


Makes: 8 servings
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 50 minutes

What you need: 
6 cups "riced" cauliflower (2 heads of cauliflower)
3 handfuls of kale
3 cups chopped carrots
6 cups of vegetarian broth
2 cups almond or coconut milk
3 tbsp curry powder or turmeric
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
2 tsp minced garlic
3 tsp avocado oil (EVOO will work too)
3/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp black pepper


How to make it: 
2. Toss cauliflower rice with curry powder, 
garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, 4 tbsp of oil in the same pan you cooked the "rice" in
3. Chop kale and carrots
5. Next, in a pot, add 2 tsp of oil and minced garlic and suatee 
6. Add broth, veggies, cauliflower, red chili pepper, and black pepper
7. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 20 minutes (you'll know it's done when the veggies are cooked and soft)
8. Enjoy and forget about the fact that you're eating so freaking healthy

Cauliflower Rice


It's super easy, super nutritious, gluten-free, and super quick!

Makes: 6 cups
Time: 15 minutes
What you need: 1 head of cauliflower

1. Chop cauliflower
2. Place in a food processor, pulse until it's fine but not pureed
3. Cook in a non-stick pan for 6-8 minutes over a medium heat

Anywhere you would normally use rice, you can use cauliflower rice...and let's be real, it's even quicker to make!
