Roasted Cauliflower Popcorn (SCD, GAPS, Paleo, Gluten Free)

Well friends we have officially entered the deep freeze. I don't even really want to talk about it. Ideally I would just like to hibernate inside next to the fire with some tea and a good book. Is anyone else with me? Unfortunately life still carries on despite the ridiculous weather. Oh life. But in happier news I booked my flights to Florida. In 27 days I will be boarding a plane to spend two weeks on the beach. I can't wait!! Florida is definitely my happy place. I have been going there since I was 2 months old so it really is my second home. There is nothing like the beach and some sunshine to make you feel good about life again.

The recipe I have for you today makes a great healthy snack. And it's super easy! I know I have raved about the versatility of cauliflower before but I am going to do it once again. You can turn this great vegetable into almost anything! It's pretty amazing.

I am keeping it short and sweet today because I have to run. But as always I would love it if you stopped by my other social media pages:

Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook!

Happy eating everyone!

• Place florets in a bowl
• Melt coconut oil and butter in a microwave proof dish in the microwave
• Poor melted oil over cauliflower florets
