Faux-tato Salad {Keto Friendly}

Let me just say . . . this recipe blew my mind. It is so dang good. If you are looking for a low-carb alternative to potato salad, then this is it. The magic ingredient is cauliflower.

I have been trying to eat healthier these past few months. One of those ways is to reduce the number of carbs that I am eating each day.

By using fresh steamed cauliflower instead of potatoes, the result is AMAZING.

I was so skeptical and then I took that first bite and the rest was history. I've already made this so many times and I get frequent requests by my family to make it again. It really does taste like potato salad. I'm not even a big fan of cauliflower, but I love this salad.

Serve it alongside some grilled chicken, a grilled burger, a sandwich or anything else you can think of. Make this at your next family BBQ and watch everyone be blown away by how good it is.

Orange Dreamsicle Cookies

mmm . . . mmm . . .mmm . . .

These are one of my favorite cookies. I have been making these cookies for around ten years now and they are always a huge hit.

They are a perfect year round cookie.

The cookie is chewy and moist with a hint of freshness from the orange zest and a sweet, melt-in-your mouth feeling from the white chocolate chips. There is just something about orange and white chocolate together that is irresistible.
