Food Friday

Although we are on the road on vacation, I couldn't leave my blog readers hanging without posting a favorite recipe.  This is a favorite that has become quite the staple in our house. You can play with so many different flavors adding a twist to every dish or palette.  

Cauliflower Rice

How to make your Cauliflower Rice: 

• Choose a large head of Cauliflower  *Did you know Cauliflower comes in purple, orange and white?
• After washing, cut off stem and break up or crumble into food processor.  Pulse your food processor until it breaks up into what looks like rice. If you don't have a food processor you can always 'grate' the cauliflower so it looks like rice.  Super easy and a great alternative. 

You can mix with so many different flavors, here are a couple of mine: 

• 1 Tbl sesame oil, a dash of low sodium soy sauce, chopped scallions, egg whites, chopped carrots and you have a delicious healthy 'fried rice'  

• Saute' the 'rice' in a dash of olive oil, squeeze some fresh lime, add some fresh cilantro, salt and pepper to taste and you have a great version of the Mexican version of Lime Cilantro rice.  Add with a grilled chicken breast or lean flank steak and fresh vegetables and have your own fiesta!

Go ahead and try it...I promise you will love it! 

If you come across a new flavor or version of your own let me know!  

Bon Appetite!
