    Oh thanks for posting! I love my rice, but could use a substitute once in a while.

    I will have to try this. I use canned (rinse them) bean sprouts instead of pasta with sauce and meatballs. For the carbs I can have the whole can.

    My favorite kind of rice is............Rice. White, Brown, Yellow, Purple, Blue, it doesn't matter.

    If I wanted cauliflower I would eat Cauliflower. This is almost as bad as substituting pizza dough with cauliflower. *sigh*

    Oh my - this from the guy that has egg whites as his staple food.....now if I eat eggs I eat the whole egg - not just the whites.....so some of us like cauliflower rice - and some egg whites...I know which one I would rather eat!

    Great tip Mike - here is my favorite recipe.... I chop up some chillies instead of the seasoning ....http://nomnompaleo.com/post/1626071845/another-simpler-version-of-cauliflower-rice

    And the point in your post was, I was simply trying to help others

    I love rice too but on my diet it has way too many carbs and calories so if there is an alternative that doesnt taste too disimilar then Ill eat it, you dont have to?

    I'm pretty sure I made my point in my post. You posted a topic. I posted my opinion on it. I'm pretty sure that's how things work, welcome to the internet. If you don't like my opinion then that's fine with me. No need to get sensitive.

    Go Rice!!!!

    Gotta love a good idiot.

    Every six months or so, I try the Caulifower Rice alternative. It's okay, but I soon tire of it. I prefer rice.

    Same thing for the Cauliflower Mashed Potatos. It's an okay substitute, but gets old fast.

    Then there are lots of suggestions to add this or that to make the flavors more comparable. By the time I add everything, I should have just had the rice or potatoes in reasonable amounts.

    ANYTHING would taste good dipped in Wasabi and Soy Sauce.

    I actually agree. I am so tired of people thinking good carbs are evil! You need carbs in the form of good not refined. Brown rice is good for you in small portions just dont go all crazy eating a giant portion! On the other side of the fence i do tend to like riced cauliflower it's different but it will never replace rice for me just a different way to eat cauliflower.
