Some people say that I am obsessed with cauliflower and…that’s probably true! But this vegetable is so incredibly versatile and delicious that I want to use it again and again in my recipes. Plus, I am not going to lie, over the years, I have discovered that a great way to maintain an healthy weight without starving and feeling frustrated, is to eat more protein and veggies and to limit my carbs intake. Without going into a full Paleo-diet, which I find too restrictive for my taste, I try to stay true to this simple rule.

But that does not mean that I am willing to sacrifice on taste! No siree!!! My meals need to be joyful, delicious and filling. Life is too short to give up on the great pleasure of eating well and feeling satisfied. 

The solution is to try to be as resourceful as possible with various veggies and play with different proteins, herbs and aromatics to create a fantastic dish that the whole family will enjoy.

Not to brag (well maybe just a little), but this is exactly what I mean by a perfect combination of goodness both for your tastebuds AND your figure.

Definitely a keeper!
