Diets are not my thing. I love food and more importantly diets don’t work for me. But there are recipes made specifically for such diets that appeal to me. It doesn’t make me feel like I have sacrificed or compromised something. Like this popular Paleo Diet friendly Cauliflower “Rice”. Since the diet abstains use of grains, this recipe uses cauliflower as its rice substitute. Being vegetarians, my daily job as a cook (and nutritionist!) in my house is to make sure we get the required servings of everything in the Food pyramid. If you smirked thinking how can there be any vegetable lacking in a vegetarian diet – HA, the jokes on (most) of you. Try measuring it on a day to day basis and you will rethink your strategy just like me.
So this recipe has been in my repertoire and makes for a great lunch box option along with roti(s)/ tortilla or just as it is, along with a side dish. Since my husband loves more protein for less calories, this meal is perfect for him. As for my little one, making him eat more veggies goes without saying and he prefers this rolled up in a small flour tortilla or roti along with some sauce. The simplicity of this dish makes this a winner in my eyes. You can jazz it up any which way you prefer. Just add whatever you would like to add to your rice recipes. You won’t miss rice honestly and this is a great addition to your regular meal plan irrespective of whether you are going grain free or not.(...)
