Paleo Broccoli and Cauliflower Casserole

I found this yummy casserole recipe here. Of course I changed a few minor details to suit our needs.

5 cups broccoli florets
3 cups cauliflower florets
1 shallot minced
5 cloves of garlic minced
1 can coconut milk
4 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine vegetables in a 9x13 casserole dish. In a small bowl whisk together milk, eggs, salt and pepper. Pour milk mixture over the veggies. Sprinkle sunflower seeds on top if you want some added crunch. I'm sure slivered almonds would be yummy too. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. It kind of tastes like a quiche without cheese. A great way to serve creamy veggies without the dairy!

Dairy Free Cashew Alfredo Sauce

I can't remember where I found this original recipe on the Internet, but it is an amazing dairy free replacement for Alfredo sauce!

1 cup coconut milk canned or homemade
1/4 cup raw cashews
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp. dried basil
salt and pepper to taste

Blend all ingredients in a blender. I use my Vitamix and I don't know how smooth a less powerful blender will make it. To keep the sauce raw, just pour over noodles and meat and serve. I like to heat mine up a little with some cooked chicken and serve over pasta or zucchini noodles.
