Gluten Free Cauliflower Rice Fiesta for Cinco de Mayo




Hola! Hola!  In honor of Cinco De Mayo I'm making my gluten free Riced Cauliflower Fiesta as a side dish for tomorrow tonight's dinner! The Mexican flavors are amazing and it is so easy to make!

If you haven't tasted riced cauliflower, you are really missing out.



Riced Cauliflower is made in the food processor by simply filling the container with cauliflower flowerettes, buzzing the on off twice and thus creating cauliflower rice! Once you have your "rice" you can use it to make a variety of tasty low carb dishes. How to make your own cauliflower rice

However Trader Joe's started to sell organic riced cauliflower in the frozen vegetable department!
How easy is that? Now I simply buy the cauliflower rice already made and then make my recipes!

That's how I made this recipe! Fast- Easy- Tasty.

This recipe makes a beautiful presentation and tastes like a soothing- kind of like comfort food without the calories! Naturally gluten free and vegan, this ten minute recipe is a perfect side for your Cinco De Mayo celebration!

I adore riced cauliflower and since Trader Joe's started selling it frozen in bags, I've been experimenting with more and more ways to use it!

This festive Mexican dish takes about ten minutes to make and provides lots of antioxidants and vitamins like only a cruciferous vegetable can.   On Weight Watchers this fabulous side has ZERO smart points.

So dig in! It's Fast, Easy, Healthy, low calorie and low carb! This naturally gluten free and vegan recipe a winner!

Another Falafel Cracker Recipe with Za'atar ( GF)

I know I made falafel crackers last week , but this is a totally different recipe. It's lighter and crispier than the previous recipe, so you might want to give these a try.  I had never made crackers before last week, but they are really fast, easy, and fun to make. A batch of these 50 crackers from start to finish took me under 30 minutes ( I didn't count the 15 minutes of chill time). In addition, they are gluten free, dairy free, egg free and delicious.

This is an interesting gluten free snack idea and entertaining idea !  Can you imagine crackers that taste like falafel! For those of you who have tasted falafel before, you know you are in for a treat. For those who have never had falafel, you will have to trust me on this one. I assure you that the recipe is truly flavorful and is reminiscent of falafel. I found this recipe on a blog called May I Have That Recipe - a delightful blog created by two sisters who post vegetarian, vegan, and kosher recipes. This recipe happens to be gluten free as well - as many of their recipes are; many of their other recipes can be easily adapted to be gluten free.
