Cauliflower "Rice"

10 days into the New Year and I feel like one of the "Celebrity Rehab" people on their 3rd day in.  While I know the changes I am making are good for me, my body feels like it is dying inside.  Not in a bad way, but in a "why are you not giving me fatty, greasy, sugary food?" kind of way.

I did cave a little today.  I MAY have eaten a few handfuls bag of M&M's by myself.  I say MAY because it all happened so quickly that when it was over, I was literally speechless {maybe because my mouth was full}.  But it did make my 24 hour headache go away.  Still - not the best way to deal with a craving.  Tomorrow I shall be better prepared for work.

Since that episode with the M&M's, I KNEW dinner had to be high on the health scale.  So I tried a recipe I have been interested in for awhile - Cauliflower "Rice."

WAIT  WAIT  WAIT  Don't close the screen and flip to Glee quite yet!

Yes, we will turn this:

Into THIS:

What you will need:

1 Medium Cauliflower

1 onion, diced

2 TB. minced Garlic

1 TB cooking oil (I used coconut oil)

Directions:

Heat oil in pan over medium/high heat.

Saute onion and garlic for 5-6 minutes.

While sauteing onions & garlic, rinse cauliflower and cut into about 8 sections.

Place half the cauliflower into your food processor (you can also just chop the cauliflower up with a knife, but it will take a little longer).

Pulse about 3 times. 

Add to pan.

Add second half of cauliflower to food processor and repeat.

Add some salt & pepper to your liking and saute for about 8-10 more minutes.

Serve!

It took Gary a few bites in to realize what I had done, and he was quite impressed, considering he is not a fan of cauliflower.  Score 1 for me!
