    After Carb-Fest 2013, also known as Paris, I am cutting back on carbs a little. I am definitely not cutting them out, as carbs are good and much needed for the workouts I am doing. But I don't need as many as I have been doing, so I am making some alternatives. Cauliflower is one of the most underrated vegetables - it is so versatile. I am going to have lots of recipes soon that use cauliflower to lighten things up. This recipe is so simple, that is doesn't even nee ...

  With trying to get back into a routine and catch up on work I have missed, I haven't had a lot of time for cooking over the past 2 days. Therefore the slow cooker has been my best friend. If you haven't got a slow cooker yet, you really should. Even though I do tend to use mine more in the winter, there are still plenty of things you can use it for in the summer.
