Primal Creamy Spicy Cauliflower Cheddar Soup

Posted by Julie on Jun 8, 2012 | 3 comments

My favorite comfort food in the world before starting my primal/paleo lifestyle was mac n’ cheese (n’ ranch beans n’ tuna n’ hotsauce – can you tell I’m in college?). This soup beats my mac n’ cheese cravings to the ground, and it takes only slightly more work to make than Easy Mac!

Tonight I wanted fish and Jonathan wanted burgers – so fish burgers it was! We grabbed some lemon artichoke pesto sauce we bought at Costco (OMG it is UNBELIEVABLE), threw it into a food processor with some steelhead trout (it was cheaper than salmon, so we grabbed it) and fried it up. They were super yummy and took next to no time to make!

Primal Pizza with Cheesy Cauliflower Crust

We’ve been craving pizza for weeks and decided to give it a go. We found some interesting primal/paleo pizza recipes around the internet, and decided to give it a go combining the best of what we found. This recipe uses cauliflower as the main ingredient in the crust and tasted so close to regular pizza, we were thrilled! Put whatever toppings you like on it – we used sausage, mushrooms and onion.

My family is from Kielce, Poland (I’m first generation American), and I grew up eating my grandmother’s amazing cooking from the homeland. I didn’t always appreciate the food when she was cooking it (awww man, cabbage rolls again?), but now that I’m older and don’t have her calling me when dinner is ready, I miss our simple Polish meals tremendously.

It was a “throw stuff together and see what happens” type of day in the kitchen and these delicious Mediterranean fusion bellas came out! I’ll be honesty, I’m estimating the quantities of things from memory for this recipe, so feel free to tweak the amounts as you see fit. This came out so well, our non-paleo friend who was staying with us said it’s one of the best meals he’s had!
