How to 'Rice' Cauliflower

A staple ingredient in low carb eating is cauliflower.  

There are great things that can be done with it and it's the base for many delish dishes such as Cauliflower Fried Rice (pictured below)

and Cauliflower Bread. (also pictured below)

 If truth be told, ricing a cauliflower can be a little messy, but it's worth it for the healthy (and tasty) results)

So without furthur adieu...

Break your cauliflower apart and cut of the hard stems.

Throw them in your food processor and pulse till they are a rice like texture.  You probably will have to remove the larger pieces and throw them in the next batch. 

The pieces will be smaller than rice.

Place in large glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the microwave for 5 minutes.  

Voilla!  Riced Cauliflower! 

Now you can sneak some veggies into your dinner without anyone being the wiser!

A quick video of how I rice cauliflower.  Turn down the volume since it does get quite loud when I turn on my mini food processor.

Zoodles! (aka my new Julienne peeler)

I'm not a gadget person.  I think that many gadgets are just a waste of money AND kitchen space.  But I had seen the Spiralizer on youtube and was nearly going to get it...until I saw this little gadget with a video at Bed, Bath and Beyond. 

Enter the Titan Julienne Cutter and Peeler.

It's 10 dollars cheaper than the Paderno Spiralizer and I get a Vegetable peeler that works.  I am picky and forever have been seeking after a peeler that truly does it's job so I got a Twofer for 14.99 not including tax.  I know it's a little steep but if it helps me to eat healthier then it's win/win.   It can even be used to slice both hard and soft cheeses.  It has a lifetime warranty so hopefully this is the last peeler and julienne cutter I'll be purchasing.  

I made a special trip to the store to get 2 zucchini for dinner and I'm sooooo impressed!  I simply washed off the zucchini, leaving the peel on (more nutritious!) and in a minute or so I had a plateful of zoodles.  They truly don't need any cooking~  whatever heated sauce you put on it will cook the zoodles in no time and it's healthier than sauteeing.  I had them for lunch today with a cold sauce (recipe forthcoming) and they were awesome! 

If you're trying to eat healthier I'd definitely reccomend these!
