Gluten Free (I hope) and Low Carb Shepherds Pie

So I wanted Shepherds Pie, but cause I am trying to stay away from starchy foods, the Potatos were not an option. So I was thinking of this all afternoon and then had the Idea. I made fake mashed potatos before with Cauliflower. Well guess what? I went to the store and got Cauliflower and frozen corn, cause those where the only two things  I did not have.

Fake Mashed Potatos:
Cut the Cauliflower into pieces and boil them till very soft, drain. Add a tbsp of butter and season then use your handmixer and mash them up like you would potatos. Don't add milk, since the Cauliflower is a veggie, it still has some liquid in it.

Meat Filling:
Brown ground beef (I used grass fed, that I got a sprouts the other day), season with what you feel like, I usually trow in some mushrooms and carrots but didn't today. Then make a brown Gravy, I am spoiled I have a sauce my mom brought me from Switzerland it's called "Braten Sauce" and it's from Knorr. But regular Brown Gravy will work.

So then you get a deep oven safe dish, heat oven to 350F, put the meat mixture in, then the bag of frozen corn, then the Caulifower Mash and top it with Cheddar Cheese.
Put in the oven for 30minutes and enjoy.

Both my kids and my husband got seconds. So there something healthy.

Enjoy!!!

Yesterday was the first day in a long time that felt normal again. Well after my mom visiting for 6 weeks and Faire and everything else going on.
I haven't weighed in, in a while. So Tomorrow that's what I am going to do.
As for now, I am juicing one meal a day, today it was breakfast. I made Carrots, Cellery, Strawberries and a pear Juice. Very yummy. Then I also try not to eat white foods, like bread, pasta, potatos things like that.
Today I am going to Zumba in the evening. I am still training with a trainer twice a week, but we are doing Pilates and it is hard, but a lot of fun.

So we'll see where I go from here.

Limping back onto the wagon...

So today is the day, where I am going gluten free as much as possible again. I have done it before, and I am doing it again. Breakfast is going to be 2 eggs sunny side up with sauteed vegetables.
Dinner is Chicken Drumsticks baked and Veggies, I will make rice for the rest of the family. I am also tying to stay way from grains, legumes and such as well.

We are taking the kids to Kemah Boardwalk today, so they can spend one more day with their Grandma, she is leaving on Thursday to go back home to Switzerland. We had a wonderful visit and she spoiled me rotten helping with housework. But yeah the eating and the cooking suffered a bit.

So that's what is going on, we will see how this is going to go.

Much love,
