"Ice-cream is exquisite. What a pity it isn't illegal." – Voltaire
I think I just found my new summer staple: Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice. If you’re lazy like me, Trader Joe’s was worth the $2 investment and ease of prep. To keep it even simpler, I chopped the stems and leaves together; cilantro adds that bright, fresh taste to the “rice” and pairs so nicely with fresh lime juice. Think a knock-off of Chipotle’s rice that you want to eat by the spoonful.
Looking for a gluten-free and clean eating quiche? Look no further. I tend to make a “crustless” quiche, since a) I don’t think the curst normally stands up 4-5 days post-baking — it’s usually a soggy disaster — and b) I’m cooking for one, so I can’t eat my leftovers that fast. My mom sent me Cooking Light‘s idea to make a Sweet Potato Crust Quiche. I tried it and it was perfection. The crust is really quite easy to make and never turns into that mushy mess that a traditional pie crust does. The sweet potatoes also add a sweetness to the quiche with which you really can’t argue. You just slice up the potatoes, bake the crust, assemble the filling while the crust bakes and then you’re left with this week’s perfectly tasty breakfast.
Happy Meatless Monday! Here’s a breakfast to satisfy all of your cravings: Cilantro Sweet Potato Hash. Brunch might be my favorite meal; it can be sweet and savory, hearty or light, multi-dish or simplistically plated — there’s just so many possibilities. A few weeks ago, I had a sweet potato bison (yes, bison) hash for brunch in Boston. It was sweet and savory, but also totally decadent and fatty. I wanted to recreate a hash in a nontraditional and also a faster way. Microwaving the sweet potato is much faster than roasting in the oven and the sweet potato still ends up deliciously browned with the onions. Instead of baking the egg directly in the hash, fry it separately and top the hash. All in all, you have a healthy, colorfully tasty and aesthetically pleasing breakfast that comes together in about 10 min. Enjoy!

I can’t even sum up all of my emotions triggered from this soup. I’ve never made a bisque without heavy cream, but coconut milk is just as much of a wow factor. It still adds a subtle flavor that’s not overwhelming. I am also still on cloud 9 after buying an immersion blender, so be prepared for some squash curry kale soup coming up. I added carrots for more color and substance, and the flavors of the sweet potatoes stand on their own, but both the carrots and sweet potato add a natural sweetness that you can’t imitate. This Sweet Potato Bisque will be a lunch and dinner staple this week.
