Hello! I had a busy day and am just now realizing I should get through a few emails before I shut down the computer and let myself become hypnotized by Housewives and HoneyBooBoo.
Tonight dinner was inspired by Sarah Fit . She tweeted something about cauliflower rice and since ‘real rice’ is all full of arsenic and I love carbs, I figured I should give a whirl.
It’s easy (if you have a food processor) – just put chunks of cauliflower in a processor to ‘rice it’. Then, fry it up in a pan with some oil and seasonings. Unfortunately I don’t have a food processor (Christmas List!) so I used a blender and it was a little too smashed. BUT I STILL LOVED IT! This is my new favorite thing!!
Served up with eggs for dinner… this plate is so white just like my husband, but I did have tons of greens with lunch and veggies in my breakfast eggs.
Ben got a special prize at work today and handed me this note during dinner. I have to keep it a surprise for now, but it’s a food blogger’s dream! I’m so bad at keeping secrets, and I’m so excited!! I’ll share within the next few weeks.
I know. I hate when people keep secrets too. If it makes you feel any better I have to live with this stink eye.

I love Cauliflower Rice, I use a grater as well, saves on the clean up and rather than fry it off I “steam” it.
One microwave container with a lid, put the riced cauliflower in there no water as the cauliflower has enough then cook on med-high for 6 mins.
Fluff with a fork and season to taste.
I love to add chopped carrot, peas and corn before steaming for veggie rice.
you are NOT a food blogger. *sigh*
I know, I’m a blab about anything I want blogger 🙂
I cannot WAIT to make the cauliflower rice, now that I have a deep fear of my formerly-nutritious Whole Foods brown rice. Hooray!
Both my husband and I were surprised at cauliflower rice. Personally I like using it to make “breadsticks”, but seriously…delicious!
Glad you liked the rice!! So good. It freezes really well too!
I’m no good at keeping secrets. Maybe you should tell us so that you don’t feel all the pressure that comes with keeping secrets. 😉
Ooooh that looks tasty…I’m looking forward to finding out what the note says!
Ahhh, don’t show us the paper, if you can’t SHOW US THE PAPER!
🙂
I’m glad its something good, I’m sure he earned it!
I love pictures of Vegas; he is so serious! Also, the secret thing is such a tease. I’m glad you’re excited though.
I’ve made cauliflower “rice” once, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was also a bit mushier than I thought it would be–still pretty good though!
Nobody likes a tease.
I think it’s a new computer or camera or something of that ilk.
What else would be a food blogger’s dream (besides 99% of the existing
crap food blogs to go away.)
Spill it, sister. (smiley face)
I wish it was a new computer. Still bugging about that one…
You can make mashed potatoes out of califlower too– they’re so delicious! 1 head of cauliflower, 2 oz of cream cheese and some miced garlic and salt. Seriously delicious and great for low carbers!
Now I am afraid of my TJ’s Vegetable Fried Rice! The arsenic rice thing might be blown out of proportion. It is if you eat rice every, single day. Who does, really? But it is being looked at.

ooooh I wanna know what the note says!
I will have to try that cauliflower rice…sounds very interesting!
OK…girlie do me a favor please….I too have food processor on my “gift to me Christmas list” but where to start shopping????
I am known to be kind of cheap so I don’t want to pay a ton but I want a good one…any suggestions??
Thanks!
I will probably end up getting one from Target or Overstock.com. I’m cheap too, just check out the reviews to make sure it’s not a dud.
hmmm
would the husband think it’s real rice?
is it that close?
Id tell him I mean 🙂 but I wonder if it’s that close….
Yep, the husband would think it’s nice. And the Tornado would probably like it too.
Oh I love this cauliflower rice idea! With that and a grain free almond flour bread recipe I just found, I my dream of giving up carbs completely is taking on a plan of action. Ok, NOT actually, bc I’m not always that together and I really love carbs! But still!
Anndddd a totally pointless cat comment is coming in 3.. 2… 1… Your cat is adorable!
It’s a foody trip right? ;p
Vegas just needs kisses!!!
I love cauliflower rice. I don’t have food processor either so I use a box grater and it works great
Now I can’t to hear what it is! I love secrets and surprises!! I’m going to give that “rice” a try soon…I’m not a huge fan of cauliflower, but I like it mashed so this may be right up my alley!
