About Me

My name is Denise and I have an autoimmune condition of the thyroid called Hashimoto's Disease. This diagnosis brings a different set of challenges for each patient although most of us have to make major changes in our diet. Until recently, my diet was high in gluten, dairy, soy and corn. In fact, I didn't even know the names of 75% of the items in the fresh food isle! That's been the biggest obstacle on my quest to wellness. It is the reason I started this blog; to find and share recipes without those inflammatory ingredients. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! If you have a favorite recipe of your own to share, please drop me a note via email or through my facebook page. Thanks for checking out the blog -- I look forward to hearing from you!

Mashed Cauliflower

Holiday dinner just isn't the same without mashed potatoes, right?  I have a Hashimoto's solution for you -- mashed cauliflower.  I know, I know... cauliflower was never in my grocery cart before either! But if I like it, I think you'll like it too. It really is delicious. Hey -- Ruby Tuesdays has it on their menu so obviously I'm not the only one that thinks it's good!

Ingredients:
1 head of cauliflower 
2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt & pepper


It's super easy to make (no peeling required). Cut up a head of cauliflower. Bring water to a simmer (enough to cover it) and place cauliflower in pot; cover and cook for 12-15 minutes. Drain water but reserve 1/4 cooking liquid. Place cauliflower in food processor or mash with potato masher to desired consistency.  Add small portions of olive oil and reserved cooking liquid until you like the consistency.  Add pinch of salt & pepper. Serve. 

How easy is that?!  Give it a try. 

"With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all."  Acts 4:33
