Wrap each with 2 slices bacon. Bake at 400°F (205°C) on a rack 25–28 min, broil 1–2 min to crisp. Rest 5 min. Serve over sliced avocado or zucchini ribbons. Creamy Cauliflower Soup (serves 4) Sauté 2 tbsp butter with 1 chopped onion and 2 cloves garlic. Add 1 head cauliflower florets + 3 cups broth; simmer 12–15 min until tender. Blend smooth, stir in ½ cup heavy cream, salt & pepper. Top with bacon bits, olive oil, and herbs. 5-Minute Avocado Salad (serves 2) Toss 1 avocado (sliced), 1 cup cherry tomatoes, ¼ red onion, 2 cups greens, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper. Add hemp or pumpkin seeds. Matcha-Chocolate Mousse (Low-Carb, serves 4) Whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp erythritol and ½ tsp vanilla to soft peaks. Split in half: fold 1 tbsp cocoa into one half and 1 tsp matcha into the other. Layer chocolate then matcha in ramekins. Chill 30+ minutes. 1-Hour Sunday Prep Bake a tray of bacon-wrapped chicken or plain chicken for salads. Roast a double batch of broccoli & cauliflower. Spiralize zucchini or buy pre-zoodles. Hard-boil a dozen eggs. Shake up a jar of ranch or Caesar (or buy a clean, low-carb brand). Portion nuts/seeds and chop salad veggies. Smart Swaps & Special Diet Notes Dairy-free: Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream; skip cheese; choose ghee/olive oil.
