Ever have a craving for fried rice but don’t want all the carbs? I’ve been making some healthier food choices lately and one of them has been to use more vegetables in my cooking. Cauliflower rice to the rescue! It’s healthy and takes away all the unhealthy attributes of rice and substitutes it with the endless benefits of cauliflower. Enjoy 🙂
