Cauliflower Chowder

The perfect low-carb soup for a crisp fall day. 


Since fall arrived made it’s debut a couple weekends ago, I have been obsessed with making soups, chili, and warm comfort food. I’m a lover of potato soup–but when I saw this lovely creation I decided this needed to be made. As a huge fan of broccoli cheese soup, I had no doubt using cauliflower in a soup would be equally as delicious. 


On top of sneaking in all the veggies that my son would have no idea he was eating, I added in greek yogurt at the end. To offset all the healthy stuff, you know I had to cook up some bacon and crumble that goodness on top with some cheddar cheese. I am convinced that if I hadn’t told my husband that this soup was cauliflower he would have no idea what he was eating. Seriously the whole family will love this–I promise.

Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let ANYONE tell you that one gender is easier than the other. Kids are kids and they each have their own personality. My daughter is very much into doing things herself without help—so potty training had to be done by her not the experts (myself). I used the same potty training technique that I used with the boys, and it did take a bit longer for her to get it—but that’s because she took what I told her to do and did her own thing. 🤣 The next big step? Moving to a big girl bed. I’m not ready. 😭
Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing. Elevate your @corepower drink by using the @ninjakitchen Creami. To prep my ice cream I pour my drink into the container the night before with some bananas. The next morning it’s ready, I mix it twice on lite ice cream. If it seems like it’s not mixing well just add a splash of milk. I typically like to add Lilly’s Chocolate Chips, but they were missing so I found the marshmallows and said whatever and threw some in. I then mixed it on “mix in” and it seriously tastes like a frosty. It is delicious!
