Secrets, Superheroes, and Cauliflower


I have a secret. I have only shared this once, maybe twice in my whole life. My husband may suspect but, I have never confirmed it. I am one-eighth superhero. Seriously, I have super powers.

My greatest super power is deciding to change my diet, my food, what went on my plate and into my mouth. I also find time to workout. Even if it means turning off the TV to go to sleep early and get in a workout before the day starts for the rest of the world.

I am amazed every week by the people who feel that they need to defend their plate and workout routine to me. I am just trying to be healthy and set a good example for my kids. I also love helping people when they ask for help. Instead, people tell me that they could never eat like I do or workout with any regularity then, I hear the excuses why. So, I have come to the conclusion I must be a superhero. Ok, really I am so clumsy, probably just one-eighth superhero. But, that has to be the explanation right?

Really, there is nothing at all special about me. I just do it. I cook. I shop for groceries. I don’t let processed food into my house. I get into the gym. I get sleep. I talk to my kids about my goal of playing chase with their kids. I could put off being healthy or I can start today.

Here’s the recipe for today:

Superhero Cauliflower:

Chop a head of cauliflower. You can chop it by hand or grate it in the food processor.
Put a skillet on medium heat. Throw in a tablespoon or two of grassfed butter or coconut oil. As soon as melted, throw in the cauliflower. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of celtic sea salt. Stir in 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of grassfed better. Stir in 5 minutes. Keep stirring every five minutes until some of the cauliflower is browned.

Do something great for your health today, Mom
