cauliflowered

For Nolan's birthday (we celebrated early), I thought I'd try my hand at making him some of his favourites without the carbs he is avoiding. Voila! It was easier and more delicious than I imagined! I made carb-free pizza and carb-free (and sugar-free!) cheesecake. Both were awesome, but the cheesecake was ESPECIALLY AWESOME. I tweaked the recipe a little and came up with maybe the best cheesecake I've ever made...and we went through almost 3 of them. So there's testimony to them being tasty. How? Pizza dough made with riced cauliflower, and cheesecake crust made with crushed up macadamia nuts and pine nuts.

I also perfected my San Tung chicken wing recipe, which got rave reviews...and therefore am not going to post it unless you email me for the recipe yourself. Because I want to keep it as close as I can :)

Another of my goals while he is gone is teaching myself chess, and learning to be really really good at it so I can beat the pants off of him. This is part of his birthday present, because it's going to take a lot of time on my part, and he's been begging me to learn. So here goes!
