    sounds interesting, but i am a rice lover so ill give it a try.... hmmm now if someone could find me a cheat for cheese and tortillas...

    Not exactly a cheat for tortillas but I have started using lettuce leaves. Iceburg like a lettuce wrap. Think of all the cheese you can have on your tacos if you have Caulirice and lettuce wraps! :love:

    They serve the cauliflower like mashed potatos at ruby tuesdays my 10 month old loves them :)

    As for tortillas I have found a low carb kind that's 50 calories but that's as low as I found it :(

    I love cauliflower rice. I actually cook mine in a nonstick frying pan with a tiny, tiny bit of olive oil and brown it a bit to give it a nutty flavour, then add salt and pepper. Yum!!

    ^^^ i cook mine this way too, it works a lot better than thr microwave. if you grate the cauliflower rather than blending, it comes out a bit more 'rice' shaped.
    I also add a sprinkle of saffron / turmeric to make it 'pilau' style if im making to go with curry :)

    Thank you so much for sharing. I had rice last night and went way over my carb intake. So this sounds great to me!

    On a similar note, cauliflower can make a great pizza crust. I made it last week, and we could not get enough, (even kids!) I made 2, one with roasted veggies and the other with pepperoni and cheese (for kids)

    Here is the link for cauliflower crust pizza:

    Wow! I will try that this evening!!!

    Sounds interesting. do you mash the califlower for the potato substitute?

    I often use spaghetti squash instead of macaroni when I am trying to cut carbs. Are there other vegie substitutes?

    I may try the pizza crust but . . .

    So glad everyone is using this! Again, since everyone's asking, here is the low-cal shrimp creole I make with the "rice"
