Cauliflower Fousfous
Dairy Free
This wonderful "couscous," or fousfous as my husband likes to call it (ya know, fake couscous) can be served hot or cold. Whichever you prefer. If you are taking it to a potluck or picnic, I would keep it cold for convenience. If you're serving at home, go ahead and take the extra step to heat it up.

Ingredients:
1 Head raw cauliflower
1 cup cherry tomatoes - halved
1/2 red bell pepper - chopped
1/2 c black olives - cut once lengthwise
2 T chopped cilantro
2 T chopped parsley
1/2 t garlic powder
Salt and Pepper to Taste
2 T lemon juice
2 T olive oil
1 Head raw cauliflower
1 cup cherry tomatoes - halved
1/2 red bell pepper - chopped
1/2 c black olives - cut once lengthwise
2 T chopped cilantro
2 T chopped parsley
1/2 t garlic powder
Salt and Pepper to Taste
2 T lemon juice
2 T olive oil
Cutting the cauliflower off the stalk, pulse in a food processor until it resembles the look of couscous. Do not over pulse!
In a medium bowl combine the ground cauliflower with the rest of the ingredients. Stirring to throughly mix. (If you aren't dairy free, you could always add a little feta in at this point)
If you are serving cold, simply cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to serve. (at least an hour) If you are serving hot, transfer to 2 qt sauce pan and heat over medium heat until hot all the way through

Helpful Hint: You can make this recipe ahead. Just cover with plastic wrap before heating and refrigerate the night before :)
Not So Dairy Creamed Corn
Dairy Free
Dairy Free
Who doesn't love creamed corn? If you live in the south anyway, creamed corn or "corn off the cob" as my grandmother use to call it, is pretty much a staple. I have found a way to make this dairy free and it is so simple. I adapted this from my grandmother's recipe who would be so proud of me if she were still with us today.
Ingredients:
4 Ears fresh corn
1/2 T Sugar (optional but yummy)
1/4 c Almond Milk (or other milk substitute you prefer)
1 T Butter Substitute (I use Earth Balance Soy free buttery spread)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cut the kernels of the cob, making sure you scrape the natural milk from the cob.
Helpful Hint: Use the bowl off the food processor to make it easier to get the kernels off the cob and into a bowl without them flying all over the counter (can you tell I have done that before?)
Melt the butter substitute in a cast iron skillet (or regular skillet if you prefer) over medium high heat. Add the corn and juice from the corn into the skillet. Add in the almond milk and sugar to the corn
Let simmer for 10 minutes. The mixture should thicken up a bit
Add in your salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
Bourbon Brown Brussells Sprouts
Ingredients:
4 Cups Brussells Sprouts
1 T Balsalmic Vinegar
1 T Bourbon
1 1/2 T Brown Sugar
Dash of Salt and Pepper
I forgot to put the brown sugar in the ingredients picture, but this is the kind I use
Helpful Hint: The alcohol will cook out so don't worry. I only use it for the flavor.
Preheat oven to 375°
Wash and trim the brussells, getting rid of any dark outer leaves and the hard part of the stem.
In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together with the brussells. Toss to coat.
Transfer to a baking dish and cook for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown
Yup thats it! Love a simple recipe, don't you? Hope it's yummy!
