I hate cauliflower.  It’s true; I truly hate it.  I have never grown it in my garden, and I will only eat cauliflower if it is dunked in some veggie dip, ranch dressing or melted cheese dip.  That doesn’t sound too healthy, does it?

Recently, Julie and I started a detox challenge in an effort to kick off the New Year, the 2018 Kwitchyerbellyakin Fitness Challenge and our overall healthy lifestyle.  We were looking for a rice substitution, and Julie found a cauliflower rice recipe. The reason we were looking for a rice substitute is that rice, particularly white rice) can be incredibly processed once it is harvested (i.e., milled and bleached).

I digress. I made this recipe to go with a chicken dish, and Julie and I were pleasantly surprised with the results!

Since starting the detox challenge and discovering this recipe, I have actually changed my perspective on cauliflower and might actually add it to my 2018 garden!  Believe it or not!

Give this recipe a try.  You will be pleasantly surprised!
