Notes about Recipes in this book

• Paneer & pumpkin grits

  • katie_did on February 18, 2018

    We like to use kale rather than collard greens and we use 5-minute grits.

• Paneer & pumpkin grits - carnivore version

  • katie_did on February 18, 2018

    The shrimp version tastes a little boring compared with the paneer one.

• Spinach & artichoke mac & cheese

  • Nancith on May 13, 2021

    This tasty dish is very rich in an artery-clogging kind of way! Probably best eaten as a side & not as a main dish. It's not overly saucy, but uses cream cheese, mayo, almond milk & Parmesan to simulate the taste of the ubiquitous spinach-artichoke dip. I only used 1/2 lb. of pasta rather than the full lb. called for, plus less cream cheese, mayo, garlic & onion powder, but used full amt. of veg & liquids. The only real change was throwing in some fancy runny cheese to make up for having only a small amount of cream cheese on hand; this added a bit of a strange taste, so I think it's preferable to stick with cream cheese!

• Broccoli & quinoa salad

  • Nancith on August 21, 2021

    Yum! This riff on the ubiquitous picnic broccoli salad is a tasty, protein-packed version that I'll definitely make again. The dressing relies on lemon rather than vinegar which gives a nice brightness, and the addition of quinoa made this suitable for me as a main dish. I did cut back on the amount of mayo, didn't use all the sunflower seeds (although I should have), and wouldn't mind more golden raisins.
