Many folks are cutting back on gluten and carbs for their health. For some time, cauliflower has been used to replace carb-heavy foods like potatoes and grains. Remember creamy cauliflower mash with garlic ? You’ve probably also heard of cauliflower pizza where cauliflower is used for the crust. Today I’m sharing cauliflower pizza bites which are similar, and a crowd-pleasing fun food to eat.

Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Chips
Need a great appetizer filled with fresh fruit flavor? How about a great fruity dessert? Fruit salsa with cinnamon chips is the perfect answer. Easy to make and loaded with the fruit of the season, fruit salsa is a great party food, dessert, or a snack. I’m basing my salsa on fresh strawberries with apples and raspberries. Can’t find raspberries? Try a tropical twist with crushed pineapple. Yum! You can also substitute with the fruit of the season – peaches, nectarines, grapes, the list never ends.
Fiery Jalapeno Cheddar Grits
Several weeks ago I wrote about my childhood and my love of southern grits in the post of Low Country Shrimp and Grits. There are countless ways to serve grits. Today I’m recreating a spicy version I got recently at a restaurant down in Tarpon Springs, Florida, fiery grits. It’s similar to the shrimp and grits but with more fire. You can use either the white or yellow corn grits, sharp cheddar, and fresh jalapeno peppers to create a side dish with a bite.

Crispy, Seasoned Arugula & Mango Salad With Pumpkin Seeds
I’m a salad lover any time of year. Cooler weather I crave more spicy salads with arugula. On its own or mixed in with other greens, arugula makes a great salad with its peppery notes. If you’re not a fan of arugula, try an organic baby salad mix containing arugula. The peppery notes are toned down by the medley of flavors. I went to Aldi to get a box of organic baby arugula but ended up buying baby arugula and spinach. I love baby spinach and had to try the combination. That’s my crispy base for the today’s salad. You can use organic baby arugula or a baby leaf mix including arugula.
