Brussels Sprouts with a Creamy Sriracha Dipping Sauce

Vegetarian

I was recently contacted by Tracey Medeiros, an amazing cook and author of Dishing Up Vermont and The Connecticut Farm Table Cookbook, who told me about a great local event coming up. The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, CT with be debuting a new lifestyle event series called Contemporary Social on Friday, March 2, 2018. It’s a festive evening that celebrates culture, cuisine and craft. Tracey will be featured there doing a book signing and cookbook food samples. She will also be discussing her latest projects and the farm to table and non-GMO movements.

In honor of the event, I’m featuring a recipe from Tracey, Brussels Sprouts with a Creamy Sriracha Dipping Sauce that was quoted as “Brussels sprouts with creamy sriracha dipping sauce will convert even purported sprouts naysayers.” by Maria Buteux Reade from Edible Green Mountains Magazine. Tracey is becoming a great local voice on non-GMO cooking and more wholesome, farm to table eating. If this is a topic that interests you, I recommend you check out more of Tracey’s books! You can find The Vermont Non-GMO Cookbook here and The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook here. Don’t forget to check out the event in March to be able to speak to Tracey in person!

Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice

Vegetarian

As delicious as carbs are, sometimes you need to cut them out. I’m all for moderation so I would never tell you to give up those amazing carbs but if you are looking for a way to get away from the carbs for awhile then this recipe for Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice is perfect. I used a bag of pre-made rice that I bought. You can find already made rice here. However, if you want to make your own it is very easy. Just take one large cauliflower and break it into florets. Rinse them well and pat dry. Then place them into a food processor and pulse until it’s the consistency of rice. Then you are ready to go! If you are looking for more cauliflower rice options, check out this Chicken Fried Cauliflower Rice!  Continue reading “Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice”
