Wow truely sensational, I added cauliflower florets after cooking as per the recipe and covered with a lid and simmered for 20 minutes ( you may wish to reduce this time if you like more bite to the cauliflower). The flavour is simply wonderful, will be a regular going forward.

Thank you David, I'm glad you enjoyed!

As a new Keto follower, I feel somewhat overwhelmed so you recipe is simple, very appealing and most of all thank you for suggesting side dishes to go along.  Can't wait for dinner tonight.

Thank you Andree, I hope you enjoy!

A quick question regarding recipes on your blog that are contributed by others. I know you use FDA info for your recipe nutritional stats and really appreciate that. Do you verify the nutritional numbers on those contributed recipes?
