I'm a Christian wife & homeschooling mama, saved by faith through grace. I changed my family's diet from SAD (Standard American Diet) to healthy, delicious & nutritious traditional foods. I've recently discovered there's a name for the way that I eat. It's called Primal or Paleo (I like the diet and think of the men and women who worked hard from sunup to sundown, constantly on the go, eating meat, berries they picked, cheese they made. I do not believe in evolution). No grains, legumes, refined sugars, and no/limited dairy.

Cauliflower "Rice" & Venison steak

Hmm, I seem to have misplaced the picture. Imagine creamy white "rice" and steaming steak, with spinach salad on the side.

Since going Primal/Paleo means no grains, including rice, I have seen people using cauliflower "rice" on their food blogs. Looked yummy & fun, so I tried it. It was yummy! Next time, I will add more butter and salt.

Just put small cut pieces of cauliflower in the food processor and pulse until the desired size. I heated mine in a pan, then added salt for seasoning. The next day, I added some butter and steak strips. Delicous!

For the steak, I just put them in a baking stone and baked in the oven on 350 for 20-25 minutes. Seasoned with homemade Herbamare.

Dill & Lemon Salmon & Rice

Yum. I got this from the $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook. I modified it to my kitchen, since it called for poaching the salmon in the microwave, and we don't have one.

1 lb salmon
3 Tbsp lemon juice
rice
veggie, we had organic frozen green beans from costco

Heat 1/2-1 cup water with 3 Tbsp lemon juice and a sprinkle of dill, then add salmon, turning once. Cook until done. Remove from water.
Cook rice before or during poaching. I soak my rice for several hours (24 is best) with a splash of raw apple cider vinegar. Mix with a tad of EVOO and sprinkle dill on top after it's cooked.
Serve with cooked veggie (don't overcook!)
