Riced Cauliflower- the easy way

If you are grain free, want to eat less carbs, or eat more healthy vegetables , then you MUST try
" riced cauliflower"- You can make your own or now you can buy it frozen in Trader Joe's. It's also available in lots of other stores now- so look for it in bags fresh or frozen.



Do you love "cauliflower rice", but hate to make it?  Problem solved!
Trader Joe now sells bags of organic cauliflower rice in their frozen section.
Maybe I'm late getting on the band wagon, but I just discovered it, and I just can't get enough.

How do I prepare it? I take a skillet , spray it with olive oil, add the package of frozen cauliflower rice and allow it to cook down until nice and hot. I then serve it as " rice"

or sometimes, I sautee some onion first and then add the cauliflower rice-

How else can you use it?

If you are a regular reader on my blog, you know that I've posted quite a few "mock" ideas using the low carbohydrate, low calorie vegetable..:

 All the taste without the carbs!  If you have not made cauliflower rice before, it's time you tried it.

Riced cauliflower is absolutely a fabulous substitution for rice.
It tastes delicious, and it is uncanny how much this low carbohydrate vegetable tastes and has the texture of high carbohydrate rice.

Make Your Own Cauliflower Rice

Yes, I know that I can make my own. 
I've been making it for years.
But it was time consuming and messy.  I had to I've take out the food processor , place in the metal blade, cut the cauliflower into flowerettes, add the cut up cauliflower to the bowl, process it with 2-3 blasts to have perfect riced cauliflower. Easy right? Yes,  but it took 5-10 minutes to prepare and then I had to clean up the processor and the counter.

What is Pterygium and Pinguecula ?

[Extracted from the webpage of www.healthscout.com] A pterygium is a fleshy growth that invades the cornea (the clear front window of the eye). It is an abnormal process in which the conjunctiva (a membrane that covers the white of the eye) grows into the cornea. A pinguecula is a yellowish patch or bump on the white of the eye, most often on the side closest to the nose. It is not a tumor but an alteration of normal tissue resulting in a deposit of protein and fat. Unlike a pterygium, a pinguecula does not actually grow onto the cornea. A pinguecula may also be a response to chronic eye irritation or sunlight. Although pterygium and pinguecula sound like mysterious, arcane diseases, they are actually quite common, usually benign eye conditions. These lesions appear as a whitish-yellowish bump or fleshy "growth" on the exposed conjunctiva. If the bump appears only on the white part of the eye, it is called a pinguecula. If it appears to "grow" onto t...

Walking Through The Fancy Animal Carnival In NYC

I went to visit my kids in NYC last week and on my walk from the train to their place I passed through the famous Garment District- It was raining, but I managed to get a few photos of some of the new sculptures in the " Fancy Animal Carnival " by Taiwanese artist Hung Yi. I don't usually share my outings, but with so many visiting NYC over the holidays, I thought these might be of interest. Garment District Free Art Show through April 2016 The Carnival , which starts around 41st street and ends on 37th street, features eleven large to life whimsical statues each symbolic of bringing luck!  The statues are extremely colorful and big!!
