Green Goddess Cauli Rice

The Balanced Appetite

Ever have those weekends filled with too much sugar and too few vegetables?

Ya, me neither. I can’t imagine having waffles for breakfast, sugary coffee for lunch, and ice cream & cookies for dinner .

(*cough* it was all “paleofied”)

If you were to have such a day this would be the dish for you. I mean, it’s green. Can’t get much healthier than that. Plus the name makes you a goddess through association. Isn’t that how it works?

I’m going with yes, that’s how it works. It’s only two days into the week and I already want to crawl into a blanket hole. If indulging in green “rice” and calling myself a goddess makes it better then that is indeed how things work.

Be a goddess. Make this.

Green Goddess Cauli Rice

1 head cauliflower

1/2 tbsp ghee, or coconut oil

5 Paleo Breakfast Ideas

5 Paleo Breakfast Ideas – Paleo in PDX

One of my dear friends recently requested that I post some paleo breakfast ideas. This week, she needs to make all of her breakfasts perfect paleo. She’s already been dabbling in paleo since summertime, so paleo is not foreign to her. Right now, things are just slowly being dialed in for her. This friend is also the one Jason Seib and I are working with for our little project. Anyway, she specifically needs recipes that are not sweetened or as stated in the book, It Starts WithFood by Dallas and Melissa Hartwig, of the “sex with your pants on” nature.

I realize, I really don’t do breakfast posts very often, even though breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I’m such a classic eggs, sausage, veggies and avocado girl that I rarely concoct an actual breakfast dish or recipe. This is a good reminder for me to work on some breakfast ideas. Regardless, there are a lot of awesome paleo breakfast ideas out there. Here are some I found that look delicious and don’t fall into the sweetened or “sex with your pants on” category. Most of these recipes can be made ahead of time and reheated or even eaten cold, so if you don’t have a lot of time in the morning, plan ahead!

If you get sick of eggs or cannot tolerate eggs, try dinner leftovers as an easy breakfast. If you usually don’t have leftovers, try making a larger quantity at dinner, so you do have leftovers. It’s not uncommon for me to eat leftover chicken soup, stew, etc. in the morning for breakfast, and it makes busy mornings really easy. Remember, breakfast doesn’t have to look like traditional breakfast.

I’ve done recipe roundups before, so maybe you already know the drill. If not, click on each photo to get to the recipe. Enjoy, and let me know if you try any of these recipes out!
