	Fried Rice with Cauliflower by Colleen Mcconnell I recently read this blog post about using sauteed, grated cauliflower as a healthier alternative to rice or couscous. I was intrigued because I absolutely love cauliflower and had never thought of grating it. However, I also like carbs with my meals, so I tried the technique for the first time in fried rice using a mix of half brown…	1 vote 3071 views
	Braised Chicken Sausage with Red Bell and Peppadew Peppers by Colleen Mcconnell I tried to make this version of sausage and peppers a little healthy by using chicken sausage (Whole Foods spicy Italian chicken sausage is my go-to). As I was walking through the grocery store, I was trying to think of something to make this dish a little more special and flavorful. That’s how the peppadew peppers ended up in my…	1 vote 4741 views
	Lentil and Rice Stuffed Peppers with Sweet and Spicy Tomato Sauce by Colleen Mcconnell Stuffed peppers are something I grew up eating. My mom usually made them with turkey or beef, a little bit of rice, and a tomato sauce topping. They were always delicious, but I was excited to try a version that my vegetarian boyfriend and I could…	1 vote 5063 views
	Arroz Con Leche Brulee by Colleen Mcconnell I don’t think I realized how delicious arroz con leche was until I was in Spain last month. We had SO MUCH of it there, and I didn’t come across a single version that I didn’t like. My favorite was definitely at a restaurant called El Ñeru, where they actually bruleed the top. This is my at home recreation of it.	1 vote 2966 views
	Mushroom Agnolotti with Pumpkin Sauce and Garlicky Spinach by Colleen Mcconnell I’ve experimented with different versions of pumpkin pasta sauce over the years, and this version might just be my best yet. I used evaporated milk to get a little creaminess without having to use heavy cream. I also added a little bit of freshly grated parmesan cheese, and simply seasoned it with a touch of fresh sage, white pepper,…	1 vote 2408 views
	Kale Salad with Radishes, Lemon, and Parmesan by Colleen Mcconnell Sometimes the simplest foods are the best. Matt and I were blown away by the kale salad we tried at City House in Nashville, and our recreation of it has been in our repertoire ever since.	1 vote 2261 views
	Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Soup by Colleen Mcconnell I kept this soup simple to let the subtle flavors of the cauliflower and leeks shine through. I seasoned it with a little bit of fresh thyme, opted for water over broth, and drizzled a little extra virgin olive oil on the top of each serving. This could also be served "loaded" like a potato soup with some crumbled bacon, sharp…	1 vote 3582 views
	Butternut Squash, Apple, and Stilton Salad with Maple Vinaigrette by Colleen Mcconnell I’m generally not a big salad person. When I do eat salad as a meal, I like it to have substance. Between the roasted squash, chicken, apples, stilton, and arugula I had on hand, I thought to put together a colorful and hearty fall salad. I threw…	1 vote 4884 views
