rawktober: day six

I guess I haven't really been talking about how I've been feeling since starting this rawktober cleanse, have I? Of course, I can't be sure if the two are related, but I definitely think I've been having some detox symptoms including headaches and fatigue. But maybe I could just be having a slight hangover today... Hmm. On the flip side, my poops have been RAWSOME and frequent. I know we all feel uncomfortable talking about these things but hey, it's an essential part of our lives! Why so awk?

     In a nutshell, I've been eating, pooping, and sleeping a whole lot. How about you? Do you feel the detox?

     ANYWAY, today I'd like to share a recipe for bbq cauliflower bites.

sweet & sour portobello "steak" and cauliflower/carrot mash

Based off Quiche-a-week's delicious recipe. Details to come!

crunchy cauliflower and brussel sprout "chips"

This snack is super easy to make, and a great low-calorie, healthy alternative to chips or fries!

Serves 2

1 small head cauliflower (or broccoli works too, but bakes faster-- watch the tree-tops so they don't sizzle into charcoal!)
30 brussel sprouts
oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Break the cauliflower up into little heads, and halve the brussel sprouts. Spray lightly with cooking oil and stick in the oven for ~ half an hour. Keep checking regularly for desired crunchiness.
I like to eat 'em up with a mixture of ketchup, dijon, tamari, tabasco and liquid smoke.
