This looks AWESOME!!!! My kids love dirty rice and I've been hankering to make it! Thank you!

This looks amazing, I live in cajun country, this should help fill a little void, thank you!

I was just placing my weekly order at Nashanutirion and I just noticed on the right side of their page is a recipe link. Have to say alot of them sound really yummy! the fried chicken is on my list for this week!

This is a nice additional when you need ketchup. I prefer making it over buying with preservatives

Homemade ketchup
1 small can (384 mL/12 oz) of plain, sugar-free tomato sauce
1 small can (6 oz) tomato paste
2 tsp vinegar (I used apple cider)
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
a pinch of ground cloves
1/4 tsp allspice*Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Let cool and transfer to container and then into fridge.

You can add some stevia, jalapeño peppers, etc

*This recipe omits the sugar/artificial sweetener. Also, this does not last as long as store bought (no preservatives) so its good for a few weeks

Mock Potato Salad

Ingredients:

·******** 1 medium head cauliflower (about 4 cups/1 quart florets)
·******** 2 hard-boiled eggs
·******** 1 medium stalk celery, minced (including leaves)
·******** ½ cup chopped green pepper ( I don’t like them, excluded them J)
·******** 2 green onions, chopped (green and white parts)
·******** 1/3 cup mayonnaise ( homemade or walden farms variety)
·******** 1 tablespoon prepared mustard (brown or yellow)
·******** 1 teaspoon lemon juice
·******** ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
·******** ¼ teaspoon onion powder
·******** 1-2 drops hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
·******** 2 tablespoons sugar-free pickle relish or dill relish, or chopped sugar-free pickle
·******** Salt and pepper
·******** Fresh herbs (optional)

You can also add radishes, peppers, or hot peppers
Preparation:

1) Break or chop the cauliflower into smallish florets. If they are too big, they're difficult to cook so that they have the right "bite" and flavor - the outside tends to overcook. *( I do four and ½ minutes in the micorwave)
2) Microwave florets in a covered container with a small amount of water, or steam on the stove. I've never tried boiling, but cauliflower tends to hold on to water, so I'm a little skeptical. You want them to be fork-tender (a fork slips in easily), but not overcooked (avoiding the stronger smell and flavor which develops with longer cooking).

3) Drain and put into a medium bowl. Chop the egg and add. Toss with salt and pepper. I like quite a bit of pepper, and it does seem to take a surprising amount of salt, but this would be to taste.

4) Mix the ingredients for the dressing (mayo, lemon juice, spices, etc.). Taste for the balance of flavors you like. Mix the chopped vegetables and the dressing into the cauliflower and egg mixture. Add chopped fresh herbs if you wish - chives, dill, or parsley work well, but I've even used mint for something different. Garnish with the herb, or sprinkle with paprika. Chill.

I wondered if anyone had posted this website for recipes. Wow, it's a good one!

Slow Cooker Roast Beef

I made this after finding the link below, and it was awesome! I forgot the pepper but didn't miss it. I used less-sodium soy sauce and it was plenty salty. Ohhh so good, and easy - we'll be making this again! (The original recipe says to cook on low for 22 hrs, but I was skeptical and went with 8 hrs and it was wonderful). The soup mix has 8 carbs per packet, but this gets so diluted I think what you consume is less than .5 carb per serving.

3 pounds beef chuck roast
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Pour the soy sauce and dry onion soup mix into the slow cooker. Mix well. Place chuck roast into slow cooker. Add water until the top 1/2 inch of the roast is not covered. Add the fresh ground pepper over the top. 2. Cover and cook on low for 8 - 22 hours.

Just a note about Splenda Brown Sugar - it does contain 'real' Brown Sugar, although you only need 1/2 the amount for the same 'sweetness' as Normal Brown Sugar, a comparison between the two:

Thanks Liz! I'm going to amend my recipe since I replaced it t. for t.
