Cauliflower Hash
Cauliflower Hash with Poached Egg Recipe

Meet cauliflower hash with my perfect poached egg recipe. This is my post workout brunch of choice.

I work out four days a week. Two of these days are a tough weight training class and require a smart post workout meal, with protein and some carbs, so that I’m not hungry the rest of the day. Sometimes I eat this smoothie bowl  but some days I want a bigger meal that is warm and closer to lunch than breakfast.

Yesterday one of the trainers asked me how I keep my weight maintained with all the food events I attend as a food blogger. On Tuesday, there were two food events both with food and cocktails in one day!

Hear me now, I’m not skinny. My doctor advised me to lose two pounds. Not a joke. She said I was two pounds to perfect, but she was happy that my weight never moves more than two pounds in the last five years, even though I go to a lot of food events.

There are Three Things I do to Maintain Weight as a Food Blogger

  1. I eat with much discrimination.  I don’t waste calories on junk or fast food, but when it’s good food, I eat it all.
  2. I don’t eat very many carbs, grains, breads, etc. except for food events, blogger dinners, special occasions. I do eat a lot of vegetables everyday. I eat a piece of dark chocolate every night.
  3. I exercise religiously several days a week, a life long habit.  I don’t believe it helps me lose weight, but I do believe it helps me maintain weight, build muscle, feel better, look better, think better, live longer and keeps me in a “healthy lifestyle” mentality. 

And, of course, I eat the food I make here, which outside of the desserts made from scratch is very healthy.

Cauliflower Hash Poached Egg Recipe

This cauliflower hash poached egg recipe is gluten free, low carb, grain free, and while it hits all those “healthy” markers, it has a gourmet appeal, and is the kind of food that feels hearty, and satisfying.

The key to making cauliflower hash is to slice the cauliflower into small thin cutlets and frying them in either coconut or avocado oil and adding in sautéed red onion. Since the cauliflower is so thin,  it browns quickly, and you don’t really need a lot of oil.

Cauliflower is one of those vegetables you can precut and keep in a plastic bag. Onion can be pre-diced and this entire meal can then be made under 10 minutes. You can add more veggies to your cauliflower hash such as peppers or even tomatoes.

I used coconut oil to make the hash, because there are just so many great benefits including weight lost and you can read more the 28 benefits of coconut oil here. If you want to learn all about the differences of cooking with several types of articles, this article on the ultimate guide to cooking oils here is a great read. 

Poached Egg Recipe from Spinach Tiger

Sometimes I like oven fried eggs, but there is nothing as pretty and perfect as poached eggs, if you can get them right. I’ve shown you how to do that here, and it still works, every time.

    Absolutely delicious! Because there were some leftover ribs in the fridge, they got chopped up and went in with the onions. My husband, who is skeptical of eating Whole 30 for a month, devoured his and looked for more. I’m only rating 4 stars because it took me much longer to get the cauliflower tender than stated in the recipe. I ended up putting a lid on it to steam for a couple of minutes.

    The poached egg technique is amazing. Beats Julia Child’s method hands down. I had some ragged whites, but my eggs were on the older side. I can see perfect ones when the whites haven’t started to thin. So glad I checked at 2 minutes. My eggs are small. Next time when doing 4 I will use a slightly bigger pan! I look forward to trying more of your recipes.

      Thanks Barbara. Cauliflower is a funny beast of a vegetable. It can take a while and some patience to get that browning!

    I’m pinning this to my Healthy Lifestyle Board. I haven’t had poached eggs in a “coon’s age”. I love poached eggs and I use to put them on English muffins a la Eggs Benedict although I didn’t do the ham or the hollandaise. I had to cut calories somewhere 🙂 Think this weekend is going to feature poached eggs. Thank you for the inspiration.

The quickest five minute low-carb dessert: Whipped Ricotta with a little bit of swerve, vanilla or berries. I use a mini food processor and voila.  I’ve seen a lot of recipes use honey, which would be great too (especially spread on toast). This is my keto version of a fast sweet treat.

_______________________________________

* 1 small head red cabbage
* 1 large carrot
* 1/4 cup salted roasted pumpkin seeds may need up to 1/2 cup
* Shallot Vinaigrette
* 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
* 2 tablespoons minced shallots
* 1/4 cup white wine vinegar can use red wine or white wine or champagne vinegar
* juice of 1/2 lemon
* 1/2 to 3/4 cups extra virgin olive oil
* sea salt
* pepper
Instructions
* Trim red cabbage and shred with either food processor, knife or spiralizer.

* Peel and trim carrot. Julienne or shred. Add to cabbage. You can use more carrot if you like. I just used a small amount for color.

* Toss cabbage with vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Toss again. Taste to make sure the cabbage is acidic enough. As it marinates, it will lose some of the acid.

* Add pumpkin seeds, reserving some for topping right before serving.

Shallot Vinaigrette
* Mix mustard, shallots, lemon juice and vinegar.

* Add oil. Shake in jar or use whisk to incorporate.

* Add dressing. You may not use all of the dressing, depending on size of head of cabbage used.

am so excited to say this is a KETO  TIRAMISU, grain free, gluten free, sugar free, but you would never know it. 👩🏻‍🍳Many tricky parts to conquer. First, there are no keto lady fingers. I used my keto yellow cake batter to make cake fingers. 👩🏻‍🍳❤️Worked like a charm and did not fall apart when dipped into espresso. Second tricky part: Making the sabayon (eggs yolks w sweetener  warmed and beaten in bain marie) which takes ten minutes of constant stirring. Also tricky to use swerve and not sugar and not getting grainy, as erythritol doesn’t break down the same way sugar does. There was also a warning about the mascarpone curdling. That didn’t happen either. So maybe I  got lucky. Next time will tell. I also added Red Eye Rye (coffee infused rye) to my espresso because to me tiramisu is not tiramisu without liquor. It came out so good 😋😋and very soon, I’ll soon be posting my recipe. 
_______________________________________ 
One of the things I love about alternative baking is the challenge. I get so energized trying to see if I can take a classic and cut out the grains and sugar. I honestly believe this is no longer a trend, but a way of life for many people who never want to return to sugar and it’s headaches (literally). It’s a movement to revolutionize the mistakes from the latter half of the last century that has made so many people sick and compromised. I see this as bigger picture thing than just enjoying a dessert. We are recreating and creating what it means to eat.

Happy Chocolate Day or should I say Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️💘Can you believe this is the first time I’ve ever made chocolate bark? I needed an emergency chocolate dessert for a gathering (I thought was going to be cancelled). I had the chocolate (that yum 72 % huge chocolate bar from Trader Joe’s), 🍫a pomegranate, pecans and almonds (I roasted with salt), some sunflower seeds, dried cherries and dried cranberries. Melt chocolate in bain marie (fancy word for bowl over simmering water), pour on parchment and then artfully or not so artfully arrange your stuff on the chocolate. 🍫Refrigerate for ONE HOUR and boom! Everyone LOVED it and ate it all up. The pomegranates gave it that little extra something something and don’t forget some sea salt. 😋❤️
Do you make bark? Do you eat all the chocolate you want on Valentine’s Day?

I had my first porchetta in San Francisco and my second in Lucca, Tuscany. This is mock porchetta from the Zuni Cafe Cookbook that gets you close enough in your own kitchen. Stuff  the pork butt with fennel seeds, garlic, rosemary, sage, capers and lemon and cook to slow to fork tender. It’s amazing as sandwich on sliders with arugula. Or…like this with root vegetables.

I’m always looking for a new way to make chicken.👩🏻‍🍳 Ricotta stuffed chicken breasts is 30 minutes from start to finish. Writing this recipe up today, but it’s pretty easy. Pound the breasts thin. Mix ricotta with chopped spinach, mozzarella, parmesan, salt and pepper. Fold. Top with pork panko (crumbs made from pork rinds). Fry on one side. Turn over. Put in oven. Bake about 15-20 minutes. You could go right to the oven and bake longer. Serve with lemon.
