Roasted Cauliflower Soup and Shrimp Pad Thai

I finally had a chance to try out some recipes from The 21 Day Sugar Detox book that will be released at the end of the month. After crossfit, Lowes, Ikea and a trip to Whole Foods, I was starving and wanted to make something easy and quick and with ingredients that I had in my fridge. I was in a soup mode so I decided to make the Roasted Cauliflower Soup. I made a few modifications since I didn't have any carrots. Luckily I had some bone broth stored in the freezer. 

I marinated the cauliflower in a rosted garlic olive oil. I also didn't want to wait 30-40 minutes at 375 so I did 20-25 mins at 425. 

Overall, the soup was delicious and it was fast and easy to make. 


Shrimp Pad Thai satisfied my Thai craving. Instead of steaming the zucchini noodles, I "sweated" them out in the oven for 25 mins at 200 degrees (I did this earlier in the day so I didn't have to worry about it come dinner time. 

I ran out of almond butter so I whipped up a batch in the vitamix to use in the sauce. The sauce was good but it probably didn't need the whole 1/2 cup of coconut aminos. I ended up using less than 1/2 c and it tastes great. 

My non-paleo dinner guests enjoyed the meal greatly!


I'm excited for this new book and can't wait to do another round of the sugar detox using the recipes from the book.
