  INGREDIENTS ▢ 1   large   head cauliflower ▢ 3  hard boiled eggs ▢ 1/3   cup   mayonnaise ▢ 1   tablespoon   mustard, optional ▢ 3  tablespoon  bread butter pickles minced ▢ 4 chop green onions onion ▢ 1   teaspoon   fresh dill ▢ 1   teaspoon   chopped chives ▢ ▢ 1/2   teaspoon   salt   more to taste INSTRUCTIONS Cut the cauliflower into bite sized pieces, much like you would a potato for potato salad. Rinse and drain. Add just enough water to cover the bottom of a 12 inch skillet and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Add the cauliflower to the skillet and cover to steam. Alternately, cook in a steamer basket on the stove top. Let steam for 3-5 minutes, checking for doneness with a fork. When a fork slides in easily, add the cauliflower to a large bowl. Do not overcook the cauliflower or your salad will be mushy. I prefer it tender-crisp. Chop the hard boiled eggs into small pieces and add to the...

Olivia Wilde's Salmon & Veggie Bake

Image
  This is a dressing to put over salmon and the zucchini. I got this recipe from a meal that Olivia Wilde had made for her men..lol. I made the first dressing of this meal by combining  1/4 cup of olive oil,  4 cloves of garlic (finely chopped),  three sprigs of dill (chopped),  1/2 shallot (finely chopped),  1/2 lemon (juice only),  a pinch of red pepper flakes, pinch of smoked paprika in a jar and shaking vigorously. Then, I peeled and sliced the russet potato, sliced the zucchini, and sliced the other half of my shallot and layered those on an oiled sheet of parchment paper. I laid the salmon fillet on top in the center and drizzled it with half of my dressing mixture. Baked it for 350 for 17 minutes This dressing, I thought, was amazing. It was bright and acidic from the lemon, luxurious from the olive oil, textured by the garlic and shallot, and had an extra punch of flavor from the dill. Her recipe for her salad greens: (arugula, endive, kalamata...

Glycolic Acid DIY Face Mask to Fade Dark Spots & Blemishes

Image
  Although plain white sugar can satisfy your sweet tooth, consuming too much of it can have negative consequences on your skin. Regardless of how it’s consumed (a sugary sweet, a flavorful drink, or raw), sugar can increase the inflammation in your body, which can make you more vulnerable to developing acne, signs of premature aging, melasma, hyperpigmentation, and dark spots. If you must use any form of sugar, at least make it brown sugar. It’s less processed than white sugar and, as a result, won’t wreak as much havoc on your complexion (used only in moderation, of course!). However, using brown sugar on your skin is another matter entirely. In fact, we want to encourage you to use brown sugar externally because it can help you exfoliate your skin and even out your skin tone. Keep reading to learn 3 brown sugar glycolic acid home remedies that can help you fade the appearance of melasma, hyperpigmentation, and dark spots. If you’ve been wondering what you should do with the cont...
