Fall!

Friends!!
Fall is here!  It has been a while.. Have you been keeping up with your healthy eating and exersising?
I have been trying too... I was at a solid week of yoga! YAY!
So- in my last attempt to eat healthy before the big Turkey Day.. I am continuing on my gluten free lifestyle.  Today I tried this lovely recipe below.  It was quit flavorful.  
Cauliflower Alfredo with Kale & Sundried Tomatoes
(makes 3 1/2 cups of sauce)
1/2 head cauliflower, 
about 2 cups worth
1 cup white beans (drained and rinsed if using canned)
1 1/4 cup almond milk
3 Tbsp EVOO, divided
1 large shallot
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup kale
1/8 cup sundried tomatoes, packed in oil
dash nutmeg
Cooked brown rice pasta
Cut the
cauliflower into large florets and add them to a pot of boiling water. Cook until soft,
about 15-20 minutes, then drain. While the cauliflower is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil
in a pan and saute the shallots until softened and lightly browned.
Place the cooked cauliflower in a blender along with the white beans, almond milk, sauteed
shallots, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and a dash of nutmeg. Blend until silky smooth.
Season to taste with sea salt & pepper. Pour enough needed to coat the cooked pasta and
mix. Fold in the sundried tomatoes and kale and heat through.
Place any remaining sauce in a sealed container in the fridge and use within a few days

What has your exercising been recently?  I have had a great time getting backing in to Yoga.  Its great stretching and de-stressing!

Keep up the good work out there!! We need to keep our health a priority even during the holidays!!

Best,
