Summertime here in our house means fresh corn on the cob and we've been enjoying it for the last couple of weeks.

It did not disappoint… Continue reading Healthy Cauliflower Rice

It looked so good and I knew it would perfectly for dinner one night especially since I'm back on the LCHF (low carb, high fat) wagon.
