I'm so excited for this new addition to our diet and had to share!
Instead of actual rice with our meals, we'll now be eating cauliflower rice.
The best part? How healthy it is!
1 cup rice = 200 calories (average)
1 cup cauliflower rice = 25 calories (average)
Excited yet?
Looks the same as rice.
Tastes the same as rice.
Has the same consistency as rice.
You NEED to try this!
It's super simple to make. All you do is chop up the cauliflower a bit, throw it in a food processor for a while, then put it in a microwave safe dish with about a tablespoon of water and heat for around 7 minutes. Then garnish with whatever you normally would rice!
We love spray butter in this household. Zero calories and tastes exactly the same. I also like cauliflower rice with cilantro or rosemary. It's definitely a versatile side dish and we can't wait to try it with sweet and sour chicken next!
Bon Appetit!

This is so cool! I didn't even know it was possible. I also like your post below about the word verification things. They are SO annoying and I will now be turning mine off! Glad you stopped by my blog. I am your newest follower :)

ReplyDeleteThat looks really great! I'm always up for trying out healthier versions of my favorite foods. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteneat idea! new to your blog from Jen's at The Adventures of Our Army Life. i just bought some cauliflower today too! my blog: http://myeloquentrambles.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI have to try this. I don't have a food processor though. Maybe I can just chop it up a lot.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be trying this! Looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for linking up at Thumping Thursday's Blog Hop. This is a great idea! I will definitely be trying this because rice is my favorite side dish, but of course high in carbs and calories. Now following you via GFC.

Totally trying this (and not telling Scott about the switch-a-roo)!!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed by this. I'm hoping I can trick my husband and boys into eating it. I'll be trying it soon.
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely delicious!
ReplyDeleteWow what an awesome idea! I have never heard of that before! Must try!
ReplyDeletemmmm yummy! I'm going to make that!
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing!
I'm definitely going to try this! It seems so super easy - and way quicker than rice!
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic. Does Drew eat it?
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be trying this! I keep seeing stuff like this on Pinterest, but I haven't made it myself yet. Looks good and I love that it's healthy!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really tasty! I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious! I'll definitely give that a try, especially since we get a lot of cauliflower in our CSA. I discovered spray butter when I was on Weight Watchers and pretty much thought it was the best invention ever.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. I'm going to have to try this one for sure.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Does it have to be fresh cauliflower, or would thawing frozen work? (I'm assuming fresh, but figured I'd ask!)
ReplyDeleteI do NEED to try this - awesome!

ReplyDeleteYum! I will definitely be trying this!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be trying this! I love my cauliflower mashed potatoes too. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's it?!! I'm making it this weekend! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI need to try this! So many calories saved :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Duuuuddde. Yes, I will definitely be trying this!
ReplyDeleteI made cauliflower mash once and I seriously need to do it again because it's delicious and and awesome alternative to potatoes/rice. We're totally obsessed with spray butter in our house too. I literally use it on everything!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try this. I love rice, but this sounds so much more healthy. I'll just have to keep it secret from my dad (a rice farmer)! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I definitely need to try this! I love that it's only a fraction of the calories too :-)
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I am going to share it with my SIL too! :) Yum!
ReplyDeletethat looks amazing!! I tried "faux potatos" from cauliflower and it didnt work... might need to try these!
ReplyDeleteI’ve never had this! My mother in law makes Cauliflower mashed potatoes sometimes. They’re not too bad!
ReplyDeleteOMG! This is BRILLIANT! We made the cauliflour mashed potatoes a couple of weeks ago and loved them but this might actually be something the twinners might eat! and I have a brand spanking new head of cauli just waiting to be chopped :)
ReplyDeleteYummy, thanks for sharing on our Brag About It! Love what you do.
