Yep I’m still on that Cauliflower Gnocchi train. Toot toot!!
Ty has been traveling more for work so I’ve had some solo nights in the past few months where I’ve been tempted to just pick up and call it a day. This last trip, I started to think back to why I started TSS all those years ago: to tackle the barriers that keep some people from cooking, like not having time, not wanting to go to the store for a bunch of ingredients, not wanting to cook for just one. I needed a recipe that was low maintenance if I wasn’t going to Eatzi’s haha!
ENTER: Cauliflower gnocchi. Ready in 10! Ground turkey. Ready in 5! Premade pesto. Already ready!
It also doesn’t take much to convince me to eat pasta, lol. Plus it saves amazingly – if you have any leftovers.
So here’s the sitch: You’ll need four ingredients (not including olive oil, salt and pepper) and five if you’re using grated parmesan cheese. In 20 minutes you’ll be snuggled up on the couch diving into your low carb, protein and veggie packed bowl, and there’ll be zero wishing you Favored instead!
