Spaghetti Squash Casserole (“Squasherole”)


I adore spaghetti squash, and this casserole is an easy and delicious one dish meal, loaded with clean protein, good fat and healthy carbs. I even like it better the next day, once it’s “set up," served cold! Dried herbs are convenient, but fresh ones make this dish super special.

Squash Cakes


I've been loving spaghetti squash lately since I've been following a lower-carb personalized gut healing protocol from Viome (viome.com/tcd), and these squash cakes are tasty little bites of fried goodness. They can be a little messy, so make sure your skillet is well-oil/buttered. Enjoy!

Cauliflower Shrimp and Veggie Sushi


Sushi is a fun and interactive cooking experience. Back in my macro days, I ate rice like it was going out of style. Today, I eat much less grain, and cauli rice is a nice substitution. These can get messy, so make sure the "rice" is not too wet before attempting to roll! Bamboo mat needed :)
