You know that I love vegetables – roasted, baked, raw, steamed, you name it. But I have a confession to make – sometimes I get tired having veggies those ways. And so do my clients.

Enter solution – finding places in your diet to swap in veggies, where you’d typically be enjoying a carb! I’m talking zucchini noodles and this cauliflower rice. It may not completely fool those veggie take-it-or-leave-its in your life, but it’s a nice way to change up your veggie routine.

This dish is super simple. I mean SUPER simple. What makes it even simpler is if you can find cauliflower already diced! Sadly, I couldn’t find this product for this recipe…but that’s where my food processor saves the day. I just hate cleaning that damn food processor…but life goes on!

Enjoy this dish as an easy weeknight side dish, OR make it into an entree by adding protein. Edamame would go quite nicely with this, or have it alongside some nice honey-mustard glazed salmon…mmm đŸ™‚
