<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Loves! The cooler weather was here for a minute and now we are having a heatwave. I was enjoying the cooler weather because I am ready to wear some cute winter attire. I am not one of those people that dresses like I am going to a funeral just because it's fall. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love bold colors and incorporate those into my winter looks. The outfit I am wearing is a nice blend of colors, and layers. I have always loved stripes and often incorporate them into many of my outfits and in this outfit, I simply tied my long sleeved striped shirt over my shoulders for a carefree look .</span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a weakness for good food and most of the time what I crave is not healthy, but this Paleo Friendly,Gluten free, Low carb treat is the perfect fake out for that fattening Chinese Takeout. What if I told you that Cauliflower fried rice tastes almost identical to the real thing? Let me say it again. Cauliflower fried rice tastes just life real fried rice. Low carb, delicious and full of flavor. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Instead of regular rice, riced cauliflower is stir fried with fresh veggies and shrimp to create a masterpiece that can rival your favorite Chinese take out fried rice. Vegetables and seafood. The perfect way to eat healthy and feel like you are cheating. You can also make this completely vegan by skipping the shrimp. All of the flavor and none of the guilt. This is so good that I ate it three days in a row. Cauliflower is such a versatile vegetable because it takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How awesome is that!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With so many great things to make with cauliflower, I've gone a little cauliflower crazy lately. If you missed my delicious pizza made with cauliflower crust, check it out <b><a href="http://foodfashionandflow.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-best-healthy-pizza-ever-food.html">here</a>. </b> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">For this dish, you can use fresh head of cauliflower and rice it yourself or you can buy riced cauliflower in the frozen section of the grocery store. Trader Joe's has a great riced cauliflower in the freezer section, but it sells out pretty fast, so when you see it, grab it quick. <b> </b>Are you ready to make some delicious Cauliflower Shrimp Fried Rice? Lets go!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Loves! I have been missing in action for a long time. Three months to be exact. I just didn't feel like blogging and wanted to focus on other things in my life, but I am back! It is fall and we are still having summer weather, so these are recent summer photos that I never posted. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There is nothing like a burst of color and this vibrant orange dress makes me feel like a skittle:-) This shirt dress has been getting heavy rotation in my closet because it is to easy to style and wear different ways. I have worn it paired with nude shoes and accessories and I recently wore this with a pair of vibrant multicolored strappy sandals. This can easily be winterized by pairing with boots and a scarf.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really like amusement parks for my taste buds. Portos Bakery and Cafe is one of those places you need to visit at least once in your life. This amazing Cuban Bakery and Cafe has been making my taste buds smile for over twenty years. I vividly remember the first time I went to the Portos in Glendale and the sight of pastries in every color of the rainbow and the scent of freshly baked Cuban bread and sweets greeted me at the door and made me want to try every delectable pastry behind the glass display case.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Apparently hundreds of over people shared my sentiment because it seemed like that's how many people were in line ahead of me. When I made my way up to the front counter, I ordered as many things as my wallet would allow and I was not disappointed. Fast forward twenty years after my first experience and hundreds of visits later, I still have the same reaction whenever I go to Portos.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">With every pastry you can dream up in your mind and a dozen different types of sandwiches, numerous delicious smoothies, coffee beverages, Mojitos, fresh juices, teas and a great selection of Cuban favorites such as Ropa Vieja (Shredded beef), Steak with Chimchurri sauce and plantains, your toughest decision will be deciding what to order.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">No matter which location I visit, there is always a long line of people waiting, but I promise the wait is well worth it. Portos was recently recognized as the best bakery in the nation and it is an honor that is well deserved because not once have I ever been disappointed. I have my favorites that I order every time I visit, but I make it a point to try something new each time I go.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Portos has expanded since I first discovered them years ago and now has a few other locations including Downey, Burbank and Buena Park and the original Glendale location. No matter which one you visit, you will find that it is the perfect spot to grab some delicious pastries and coffee in the morning or, a leisurely lunch on the outdoor patio. I always leave with boxes full of treats and so does everyone else, which is a clear illustration of how good the food and pastries are.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">If you have never been to Portos and are not sure what to order, I highly recommend the potato balls (papas rellanas) which are basically potato puffs filled with seasoned meat, or the mini meat pies (pastele de carne). And of course, the pastries speak for themselves.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As far as sweet treats go, the cheese rolls hold a special place in my heart and I love to have them with my morning coffee or tea. The flaky and crunchy outer crust balances nicely with the sweet creamy cream cheese on the inside. I could easily eat a whole box of these by myself because they are just that good. Other items worth mentioning are the dulce de leche cookies.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It is impossible to leave without a box of cheese rolls. When you go to Portos and try them, you will know why. This is the perfect casual eatery for a leisurely day and the prices will definitely agree with your budget because everything on the menu is very inexpensive and unbelievably delicious. You can avoid the long lines by going when it is not peak hours, but even if you go at the busiest time the line moves very fast. Portos is definitely a place you need to check out:-)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey loves! I am definitely enjoying summer and I just celebrated my birthday and it was pretty awesome:-) I just feel blessed to be able to celebrate another birthday and enjoy this lovely summer weather. Summer always makes me think about sunshine and this yellow blazer is like a big burst of sunshine. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a very bold beautiful yellow, but looks different depending on what lighting I am in. I am a huge fan of stripes, so I paired them with this yellow blazer for a fun summer look. I recently organized my wardrobe and didn't realize how many striped tops I have, but I definitely wear them all. I don't like a lot of prints, but I have always been a fan of stripes, dots and leopard.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Tin Roof Bistro is a quaint, rustic and beautifully decorated restaurant hidden in a shopping center in Manhattan Beach. The restaurant has an extensive offering of delicious appetizers, fresh salads, pizza, sandwiches pastas, chicken and seafood. There is something on the menu for every palette and if you bring your children, you will easily find items they like even though there is not a kids menu. There are lots of great lunch specials and the prices are reasonable for the quality of food that you get.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have always been a fan of roasted corn. At fairs, carnivals and farmers markets I can often be found chomping on delicious grilled corn slathered with butter. Mexican street corn is delicious on a completely different level. Grilling the corn over charcoal intensifies the flavors of sweet, crunchy, spicy and savory. The sweet juicy corn, chili powder, cotija cheese and fresh lime is so good and I can never eat just one. This has become my new favorite way to eat corn on the cob. Mexican Street Corn? Yes Please! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A Latina friend of mine first told me about this type of corn and when she told me that mayonnaise was a key ingredient, I could not imagine that it would taste good, but I was so wrong and the end result is absolutely delicious and such an amazing flavor combination. Thanks to a chef friend at a Mexican restaurant, I now know how to make delicious Mexican Street corn at home and wanted to share the recipe with you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I like to put the corn directly on the grill because I love how it caramelizes some of the corn and makes those beautiful charred marks on the corn. You can also achieve a similar effect roasting your corn in the oven. The flavors come together with a fresh squeeze of lime right before sinking your teeth into this mouthwatering corn.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When you combine these ingredients and slather it on hot grilled or roasted corn, the result is unbelievable delicious. It is very important to use real mayonnaise, not miracle whip or any type of sandwich spread, it needs to be just plain mayonnaise. My special touch is adding a bit of smoked paprika along with the Mexican chili powder. I also brush with a little butter before adding the mayo and spices, it is a great touch because it intensifies the flavors.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can leave the husks on or take them off. For grilling I like to take them off so that every kernel can grill and caramelize over the hot coals. I soak the corn in water for ten minutes before grilling because the moisture helps keep it juicy while grilling. If you are roasting your corn in the oven, it is better to leave the husks on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4 ears of corn with husks attached</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 tablespoons melted butter</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 cup mayonnaise</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 teaspoon garlic powder </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4 tablespoons fresh minced cilantro</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4 teaspoons Mexican chili powder</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 fresh lime cut into wedges</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">salt and pepper to taste </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Grill directions:</b> Soak corn for ten minutes. Build a fire on the grill, or if using a gas grill set to medium heat. While the grill is heating, mix the garlic powder and smoked paprika with the mayonnaise. Grate the cheese and place on a plate. Place corn on grill and turn corn periodically until it is charred and cooked all the way through. While the corn is hot, lightly brush it with the melted butter and then slather it with the mayonnaise mixture. and then sprinkle with chili powder and roll over the Cotija cheese and sprinkle with fresh cilantro and if needed sprinkle with a little more chili powder. Serve with fresh lime wedges to squeeze over the corn.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Oven directions: </b>if you do not have a grill, or just prefer to roast corn in the oven instead of grilling it, preheat your oven to 350 and leave the husks on the corn. Place the corn directly on the rack and roast for 35-45 minutes or until the corn is tender and cooked all the way through. Peel down the husks and follow the instructions above for adding the sauce and seasonings to the corn.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Loves! I hope life has been treating you well. I have been busy and focused on other things, so I have not posted as often.

The weather lately has been strange strange strange with many days gray and dark and then sunshine late in the day. Sunny days always put me in a better mood and there are plenty of those coming and a big heat wave. I love clear blue skies and sunshine, but not extreme heat, so I am not looking forward to the heatwave. Although I am not looking forward to the scorching days ahead, they do give me an excuse to go the beach:-)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My outfit today is simple and classic with a white button down shirt, jeans and a bold color POP from my red shoes. In a previous post I mentioned the color red being like Cayenne Pepper and these shoes make me think of Cayenne Pepper because you only need a hint of it and fires up everything it touches, just like the color red. Do you agree?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pancakes, french toast and waffles are occasional breakfast treats I crave, but I don't crave the sugar, fat and calories. I discovered an amazing way to enjoy pancakes without guilt. This simple two ingredient recipe is bananas! Quite literally. Two eggs and a banana and you have a light tasty pancake, although it is more like a banana crepe than a pancake. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They are slightly sweet and I enjoy them plain, but a drizzle of syrup would certainly add to their deliciousness. I like them with a side of fresh berries for a healthy low carb breakfast. My only gripe about these tasty cakes is that they are difficult to flip over, so I usually make them silver dollar size to make flipping them over a little easier. I have also found that adding a teaspoon of baking powder helps the texture a little, but it is not required.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We like food that makes us lick our fingers. Right? Most of us love a good hot wing. Whether savory, fiery or sweet n spicy, they are always delicious. I am a big fan of Siracha hot sauce and use it as a condiment and an ingredient I use to flavor many of my favorite dishes like my infamous sweet n spicy shrimp tacos.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Siracha adds that perfect balance of sweet and heat for hot wings and they are flavorful without being over powering. These delectable wings were improvised in my kitchen like most of my recipes, so you can tweak the ratio of ingredients to your liking. I often add other ingredients to increase the dimension of flavor to this sauce and it is a great blueprint to add your own personal touches.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I have many flavor combinations that start off with this simple base of honey and Siracha. You can roast your wings in the over at high eat or throw them on the grill to add a nice smoky flavor.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Hey Loves! I hope you have had a great weekend. I haven't posted in a while, but it was necessary to step away. It has been a great time of rest for me. Mentally and Physically. I am a single mom, so downtime is not something I have a lot of, but I felt the need to take some extended time away from social media. It was refreshing and a great digital detox because sometimes all of that can be just too much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am beginning to explore some of the activities I had been to busy to do before and rediscovering some things I have always been passionate about. The ensemble I am wearing is a monochromatic palette of taupe with a nice sprinkle of color from my mint green shoes. This outfit kind of makes me think of those Andes creme de menthe bars:-)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Most people associate me with lots of bold vibrant color, but I am a huge fan of neutral colors too because they are so versatile and look good with everything.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This look is very streamlined, so I thought this gold cuff and a statement ring were a great accent without taking away from the outfit</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes I get tired of social media.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Really tired.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On any given day my eyes and ears are assaulted by a Petri dish of inappropriate status updates, pictures and an ample serving of bad news I didn't ask for. I get tired of superfluous status updates and interactions with the depth of a Koi Pond. I'm tired of too much information and status updates that belong in a diary, or those talking about their haters (they aint got none). Stories that are dark, dismal and dank when I prefer my life in the sunshine.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It leaves me wanting...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">some substance and depth</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">finding it is daunting.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Social media overload has me and it probably has you too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I know I am not the only one who is tired, but social media moves with a quickness. It grows on us swift and sneaky like an e-coli colony on a piece of lukewarm steak. This epidemic of social media oversharing is the equivalent of kindergarten show and tell on steroids. Our society has become addicted to social media.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can we call an addiction an addiction?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are those who despite their best efforts find themselves attached to their cellphone like a high grade Neodymium magnet and can't get through breakfast, lunch or dinner without looking at their phone or jumping at every "ding" their phone makes with random status updates. Giving those in their presence the level of attention an unfaithful lover gives his side piece.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Part time and half assed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Make it stop.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Real authentic connections cannot take place when people are so overzealous about social media that they cannot embrace the real and present moment. That warm human touch you can't get from a computer screen is fading faster than a pair of distressed jeans sitting in a bucket of bleach. The irony of social media is that it has made many of us less social.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can we get back to real living and real interaction instead of living in a plastic bubble of social media superficiality? We are turning into a society that is letting social media superimpose on a real moment. It only takes a second and "blink" you missed it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It doesn't look like social media is going anywhere, so we may not be able to make it stop, but we can certainly put things back into their rightful place. And now as I hit the publish button, I am off to have a human moment because I crave that warm fuzzy touch you can't get from a computer screen or cell phone</span>.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Loves! There comes a time when other things take priority over social media. I am feeling the need to take a blog vacation and do a much needed digital detox. I will be back to posting soon, but for the moment, I need to shift my focus in a a major way. Talk to you soon:-)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Loves! It's been quite a week. The passing of our musical icon Prince came as quite a shock to me. I have always been a life long fan and had quite the collection of Prince music. I have been enjoying my own private concert in the car on my daily commute and reminiscing about how much fun I had at those Prince concerts.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you have ever seen Prince perform live in concert, you know what a great performer he was. I had some of his Miles Davis collaborations way before anyone even knew they recorded together and thanks to entertainment industry connections, I was enjoying these back when I was an undergrad in college and it looks like now a lot of those hidden gems are being released online.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On another note, Mothers day is right around the corner and I am looking forward to mothers day because it is always nice to be celebrated and I always look forward to spending it with my son and my mom. I have an awesome surprise for her this year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love this time of year with the great weather and sunshine, but it has been a little windy lately, which gave me a great excuse to wear this super cute red trench coat that a close friend of mine gave me. I wore it out and had a great time painting the town red:-)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes you can find great stuff at Target.

<span style="font-size: large;">In Los Angeles we have elevated brunch to an art form. There is no shortage of great places to enjoy brunch in the City of Angels. Poppy+Rose is hidden in the flower district in downtown Los Angeles and can best be described as Southern comfort food with a California vibe. This is a cute cozy spot to fuel up before you go shopping downtown and has lots of great breakfast and lunch options.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Between the light fluffy pancakes, flaky buttery biscuits and breakfast scrambles, it is hard to make a choice, but you can put your money on the chicken and waffles. In their interpretation of this southern dish, crispy buttermilk fried chicken is served on top of a brown butter Belgian waffle with a dollop of whipped honey butter and maple syrup served on the side.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Loves! Hope life is treating you well. Happy Spring! I had quite a weekend and now I am excited about my sons upcoming birthday. I always get so excited to celebrate with him and cherish these moments because kids grow up so fast. I am looking forward to wearing spring and summer dresses and enjoying all those activities that I enjoy so much in the spring like going to the races, enjoying spring tea and lots of time at the beach.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Today I am wearing black on black and I find that wearing black from head to toe is always a stylish and classic look. I found my motorcycle jacket hiding in the back of the closet and got a chance to wear it because it has been a little cool and breezy lately. Are you a fan of black on black?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I believe in getting as much mileage out of my wardrobe as possible and am known to be a repeat offender by wearing the items in my closet in different ways. Most of my clothes are very classic so it is easy to mix and match to get completely different looks with the same items depending on how I style them. I am definitely not a person who won't wear something more than once. I use trends very sparingly because I believe true style is not based upon being trendy, but how you put things together , regardless of whether or not everybody is wearing it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The photo on the left is from a few years ago and is similar with different accessories. I think the look on the left is softer and the motorcycle jacket and different style of booties gives the outfit an edgier look.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes, great discoveries happen completely by accident. Quite some time ago, a friend of mine and I were hanging out in Manhattan Beach and discovered this great Chinese Bistro and on a whim decided to try it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He treated me to an amazing lunch here and of course I have been back numerous times since that initial discovery and the food here never disappoints. I went here with one of my sister friends and we had an amazing feast of delights from the menu on a beautiful sunny day and enjoyed our meal Al Fresco. The vibe here is very casual and perfect for dropping in after a day of shopping or hanging at the beach. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Loves! Spring is upon us. It's a new season. With new seasons come growth and with growth comes change. If something isn't growing, it's dying. Growth is not always an easy thing, but it is always the best thing. The final destination in our journeys are very rarely a straight path. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are unexpected curves, peaks and valley's and time in the desert. Sometimes the journey takes us in strange directions and no map can guide you because there are some places we arrive at only by the grace of God. The lesson is usually in the journey and what you learn along the way. Experience is a great teacher, especially when you are a willing student.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have this love affair with food, but I have known for quite some time, that I will have to reform some of my foodie ways and start making healthier versions of the things I love. I am getting older and I certainly don't want to grow horizontally. I decided to try making a cauliflower crust pizza to satisfy my hankering for ooey gooey cheesy pizza. It was a great success.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Almost.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was tasty, and filling and cheesy and saucy and all the great things a pizza should be, so I thought I could make this pizza and trick my son into eating more vegetables by not telling him the crust was made with cauliflower.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I made two pizzas. A supreme pizza loaded with veggies, sweet Italian Turkey Sausage and Pepperoni for me and a plain Pepperoni for him. I tried very hard to pass this vegetable crust pizza off as the real thing. Let me tell ya, it was an epic FAIL. My son is quite the pizza connoisseur because I have taken him to some of the best pizzerias in Los Angeles and his nine year old taste buds are pretty refined when it comes to pizza, so passing off a pepperoni pizza on cauliflower crust didn't quite fly. Our conversation went like this:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Me</b>: "I have got a surprise for you!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Little Man</b>: "What is it mom?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"<b>Me</b>: "PIZZA!!!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Little Man</b>: "YAY !"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My son was really excited. Very excited.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Until he put the pizza in his mouth...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Little Man</b>: "What did you make this with, it tastes like dead vegetables mixed with garlic. I need to help you next time mom, so I can see what you put in this stuff" "Stick with your original pizza recipe mom"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay, so for him, no es bueno, but I LOVED IT! Now, don't get it twisted, it does not taste 100% like the real thing, but it is pretty close and very very tasty and the cherry on top is that its healthy and low carb. This is a great way to eat healthy and still enjoy some of the bad stuff we aren't supposed to have. I really like stuff I'm not supposed to have, so finding ways to make things that are bad for me, good for me is a win win in my book. Are you ready to try some healthy pizza?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You will need one head of fresh cauliflower. Put it in a food processor or use a cheese grater until it looks like snow. Microwave it for 5 minutes and then dump all of it in a towel and squeeze all of the water out of it. You must get as much of the water and moisture out of it as possible for your crust to turn out good.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>For the Crust </b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 large head of cauliflower cut into small pieces</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 teaspoon garlic powder</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 teaspoon oregano</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 eggs </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Toppings</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Approximately 1 cup pizza sauce</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 green bell pepper</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 cup sliced red onion</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 cup pepperoni</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 cup sweet Italian turkey sausage </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 cup sliced black olives</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat oven to 450</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Put your cauliflower in a food processor and blend until it is the consistency of snow. (You can try using a cheese grater if you do not have a food processor). Put your cauliflower in a bowl and microwave for 5 minutes. Let it cool and wrap all of the cauliflower in a towel and squeeze all the water out of it. Once you have removed all the water from the cauliflower, put it in a dry bowl and mix in the spices, cheese and egg. You will end up with a cauliflower dough.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Use a sheet of parchment paper and shape your dough into a round pizza, no bigger than your pan or pizza stone. Put parchment paper with the dough on it, onto the pan and bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Spread your pizza sauce on the crust, sprinkle the cheese and your other toppings and bake for 15-20 minutes.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Loves! Life is pretty hectic these days. Having a career and being a sports mom takes a lot of time, but in between all of that I have been having fun experimenting with healthy recipes and trying to get back to doing my community service volunteer work, but there just aren't enough hours in the day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes when life gets overwhelming, it is best to shift into neutral for a minute.There is nothing wrong with taking a moment to relax, relate and release. In the midst of my busy life, I am definitely having fun trying out and creating healthy recipes. Stay tuned for some great ones! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am wearing a palette of neutrals and a pattern mix of stripes and a hint of contrast with leopard pumps. Although I am known for wearing bold bright colors, I am a very big fan of neutrals too. Do you like neutral palettes and pattern mixing?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Being kind is a trait that changes lives and being thoughtful and genuine are characteristics that all of us should strive for. There is always someone to be kind to, and situations that require us to be thoughtful and genuine to others even if they are not that way to us. Despite what our circumstances are, there is always something to be thankful for.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once upon a time, there was some garlic and cheese and it married a loaf of sourdough bread. Fairy Tales can be a good thing, especially when they involve food. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bread has a special place in my heart. I'm in deep like with carbs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">No.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I love carbs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I really love carbs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I never met a piece of bread, cake, cookie, pie, cracker or a chip I didn't like. Is that bad? I think my son inherited my love for a great bread because we usually fight over the last piece of bread in the bread basket when we dine in restaurants. If you enjoy a great bread like I do, I have the perfect recipe for you. This delicious bread is bursting with buttery garlicky goodness and if nobody sees you eat it, it has no calories. Just kidding:-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The flavor dimension in this bread is so excellent that it is worth that extra jog it's going to take to burn the calories. Piping hot from the over this bread has lots of ooey gooey mozzarella and is perfect for your next party, a great snack and it is amazing dipped in a hot bowl of tomato soup. Any way you slice it, it is pretty tasty. This is an easy recipe and does not require baking the bread from scratch. Just pick up a fresh loaf of sourdough bread and you will be munching and smiling in about 20 minutes:-)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 loaf fresh sourdough bread</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 stick melted butter</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 garlic glove minced</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 teaspoon garlic herb seasoning</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tablespoon fresh thyme minced</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tablespoon chives finely chopped</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese </span><b></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Preheat oven to 375</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mix the butter and herbs in a bowl. With a large knife cut the bread vertically and horizontally making a cross hatch of deep cuts without cutting all the way to the bottom. Use your fingers and open the bread in each section and put butter and a little cheese in each crevice of the bread.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After the bread is filled with the butter and cheese. Brush the remaining oil on top of the bread. Cover the bread with foil and place in the oven on a cookie sheet for about ten minutes. Uncover the bread and let it cook for approximately another five minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.</span></div>
