  1. I just texted my husband to go get cauliflowers just a minute ago, then I clicked on your link. How uncanny is that! Cauliflowers are at their best this time of year. I love mixing riced cauliflower with actual rice for a lower-carb meals, but looking forward to trying it on its own.

    • I haven’t tried the mix of real rice with the cauli rice yet but I’ve been thinking about it. It’s a great idea.
