Spanish Cauliflower Rice
With DH being diabetic, no more rice in this house. I do get it when we go out to eat. But a great subsitute is using riced cauliflower, which you can find at the grocery store! Both in the produce section and freezer section.

1 can of Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilis) (drained)
10 oz bag of riced cauliflower (frozen)
adobo seasoning
olive oil
fresh garlic (whatever your preference is)

Microwave the frozen riced cauliflower (according to the package)
Heat a skillet with the olive oil and garlic. Then add riced cauliflower, pour the can of Rotel, stir. After a minute or two, use 2 teaspoons of the adobe seasoning. Stir again, cover, cook for a few more minutes.

You can also add fresh cilantro too.

If the adobo seasoning is too strong for you, then you can just use cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.

This looks good!  

I didn't realize rice was a no no for diabetics.    We have been trying the cauliflower rice as an alternative to pasta because of dd's Celiac.   We can give this a try!

If you need more recipes, I can hook you up! We use it for casseroles too instead of rice or pasta

Going to have to try this (and tell DH it is rice, until he admits it tastes good, then let him know it is cauliflower). LOL

That sounds good!   She has started to like cauliflower - she is a lot more adventurous in trying new things than her siblings or dad.  We are just trying to get the rest of the family (gluten eating and picky) to come around!  lol

This sounds good and easy to make.  We don't do rice and carbs in our house either.  We'll have to try this.  TFS!

😂 😂  Good luck!

Luckily, DH has always like cauliflower. Me...not so much because it was so bland. But now I love it and don't miss the rice!

I have a cauliflower mac & cheese recipe that I think your family would love. It's a 3 cheese sauce..and believe me....we can't tell the difference!

I might have to start posting a couple of recipes a week. I can call it Tasty Tuesday! 😂

It's one of my go to's when we need a side dish during the week. And you know how crazy busy my work week can be..and DH's as well. So this is done in 10 mins. Can't beat that!

I was talking to Rachel and I might be posting a couple of recipes a week. Not all revolving around cauliflower, but definetly low-carb (or low sugar) recipes.

Sounds good, Brandy, but I love rice! I can't do flour or any other grain. Also have to watch all the sodium content in foods for high blood pressure.

Have y'all tried Explore Cuisine pastas? They are gluten free. And low in carbs...which is great for diabetics.

https://explorecuisine.com/collections/products

They have lots of different kinds, but DH likes this one:

https://explorecuisine.com/products/us- ... -spaghetti

We get ours at Sprouts. Not sure if you have one, but I'm sure you could find them at Whole Foods (and other "farmers market" type grocery stores)

This one sounds good too! We've been trying to eat healthier...clean eating... so we have been trying the cauliflower rice, its been 50/50 for us if we can handle it. I bet it would be much better in casseroles/ stuffing! I'm going stuffed bell peppers tonight, I may run to the store to pick some up!

DON'T TELL!  I make this Fake Key Lime Pie, which my Grandpa LOVES!  It has yogurt in it - which he HATES!  Grandma told me never to tell him, because he enjoys it so much.

Haha! Years ago, DH insisted that lowfat sour cream was terrible tasting, so one time I just switched the containers on him. ;)  After he complimented my meal and ate the lowfat sour cream, I let him know his taste buds weren’t as discerning as he thought! lol

That clean eating is harder than most people think. We've gone with the keto style of eating because of DH's diabetes. And it helps me alot because prior to his diagnosis, I was having all these reactions to a good deal of food. Sunflower oil and sugar! But going the sugar free/low carb route has helped me tremendously. I'm not sick all the time with a tummy ache

Re: Spanish Cauliflower Rice
I love riced cauliflower!  I have been avoiding carbs so started on the riced cauliflowerr, even found cauliflower tortillas that I make wraps with.
Your recipe sounds great!  I like to get a rotisserie chicken, shred it up and mix it with the riced cauliflower!
