Cauliflower Rice- How To! Lemony-Garlicky Easy and Delicious!

Rice rice rice! Rice is something I grew up eating a few times a week, mainly as a side and sometimes even as a main dish. It absorbs any sauce, it is satisfying and delicious and the list goes on.. But all this rice pleasure has a price! It does not really offer high nutritional value and eating too much of it does not help keep the weight off. There are healthier options to consume on the planet. For example:  The cauliflower! What a wonderful vegetable. One of the healthiest foods for our overall health.  Packed with vitamin C,  fights cancer and inflammation, full of fiber, antioxidants, low in carb and oils. It keeps you full and helps lose weight easily. This delicious cauliflower rice is easy to prepare and hard to stop eating!
