On July 2013 my wife and I began to transition our family to a Paleo lifestyle. We have done many things over the years to improve our health and fitness and while we have made some progress nothing compares to the results we have had with Paleo. We are so passionate about this lifestyle that we have decided to chronicle our journey here. Our goal is to spread the word to our friends, family, and anyone we can on how wonderful and healthy your life can become by adopting a Paleo lifestyle.
Since we recently took possession of half a grass-fed beef our consumption of ground beef has increased drastically. So it seemed time to throw up our curry burger recipe. We have found that getting crazy with spicing your burgers keeps them interesting and you never know what king of glorious combo you will find. You may want to try things like cacao powder, cinnamon, or virtually anything you might have in the spice cabinet. This is one of our go to combos. Of course you can never go wrong throwing some bacon, maybe an egg, avocado mayo, or even fresh ground almond butter on top of these or any burger creation.

Going paleo has meant dropping some of my life long comfort foods. Mashed potatoes is a big one of those. I love me some mashed potatoes and gravy. Mashed cauliflower is not quite mashed potatoes but it is pretty darn close. The flavor is a bit different and the consistency thinner than the originals (at least our attempts). We may try some things to thicken them up potentially with coconut flour and/or less steam time. We'll let you know if it works out. The results at the dinner table were pretty good. One out of four of us do not like them at all and considering it is my son, the pickiest in our crew, I think they will grow on him. Not being a big cauliflower fan I expected I would have to choke them down but I actually love these and always polish off the left overs. Of course if you eat dairy I am sure some cheese on top of these would send them to some new stratospheric level. Cauliflower is one of those super veggies that has a pretty decent amount of a broad array of essential nutrients, so this recipe may just be they way to work them into your meal plan.
