    I lookup coking ideas online (not just grilling) and like to try lots of different meals, although admittedly not so much when my kids are at their Mom’s.

    Righ now I’m frustrated because I found a great idea for gnocchi that’s similar to something my younger son likes … and I just found out he’s cutting carbs

        Wow, that looks great. I never actually made pasta since I assumed it takes a while and there are so many choices at the store. That looks quick and easy, and I’ve had good results with ricotta substituting in other things.

      Make stews, they are easy to do slow in a slow cooker or fast in a pressure cooker. You can cut carbs by serving it over mashed garlic cauliflower.

      I make a really good chicken stew with onions, celery, carrots, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken stock, garlic, and chicken thighs. Chop them all up throw it in a pressure cooker or slow cooker and when it has stewed for a good amount of time add peanut butter and some hot sauce.

      It is creamy and a bit spicy.

        I’m sure it’s good but the mashed cauliflower part is vile. I refuse to eat that again. So is cauliflower “Mac and cheese”, even covered in Buffalo sauce

          I don’t usually even have it with a side but if you put well steamed or boiled cauliflower into a blender along with butter, whipping cream, garlic, salt and pepper then you are going to have a good side dish even better if you have roasted garlic to add in instead of regular garlic.
