  2. This is different from the normal rice I used to know. The recipes are brief and rich which make it  appears to be very easy. It is good to check new things. The fact that it has less calories makes it superb. As a nutritionist and at the same time a foodie,lols, I’ll love check couliflower rice out. If I get it,it means it is a plus to my recipes.

  3. Hi Dave, great recipe! My fiancée introduced me to cauliflower rice when she started doing the Keto diet, she needed to find low-carb substitutions for a lot of our staple foods, and I got hooked on the stuff! Once I figured out that a lot of my digestive issues were caused by inadvertently carb-loading, I started appreciating foods like this one a lot more. I actually like cauliflower rice more than regular rice now!

    I like this recipe for its simplicity, a little salt and pepper, lemon juice, parsley and onion. That’s an easy to remember and highly effective flavor profile, which is a huge plus for me as I have a tendency to get lost in the kitchen, always trying to over-season everything. My fiancée usually just runs me off and takes over the stuff I’m making before I tragically ruin the flavor.

    I’ll be bookmarking your site, I’m looking forward to seeing more great recipes form The Healthy Goat!

    Great success to you, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
