One of my originals, and I’ve made it a variety of ways through the years and everyone always loves it. The best thing is that you can use whatever ground protein you want - ground pork, chicken, beef or turkey – or even shrimp if you want. You can also use white or brown rice instead of cauliflower, or an even mixture of rice and cauliflower rice, or just cauliflower rice or even just rice. Great for weekly meal planning and can be a side dish or a main dish – your choice!

A protein-packed, healthier take on a longtime comfort favorite. As with all things Hippy Crap, make it work for you and for what you have on hand—use regular pasta instead of protein pasta if you don't have protein pasta, or cream cheese in place of cottage cheese if that’s your jam.

Meal planning erases the nightly “What do I make tonight?” question. It helps you stay on a healthier track, saves money, saves time, and honestly, just makes the business of life feel less chaotic.

A balanced, one-pan, meal-prep friendly, high-protein, fiber-rich and nourishing bowl designed to support inflammation control

By making small, intentional swaps here or there, you can still enjoy the same flavors and textures while also nourishing your body and feeling better afterward.

Spices add flavor - don't be afraid to use them, especially those like turmeric that help with inflammation. Spoiler: Perfection is NOT one of the rules. Hippy Crap is simple: Prioritize real, whole foods that nourish your body, fight inflammation, and support midlife wellness—without turning meals into a chore or sacrificing flavor. Fewer processed junk, more fresh fruits/veggies, spices galore (especially anti-inflammatory heroes like turmeric), and organic when it fits
