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!

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...

Meatloaf on My Mind...

Lately, I've been thinking about meatloaf. Warm, comforting...home. Good meatloaf is one of those dishes that  brings back fond memories, and bad meatloaf is shudder-worthy at best.When made with care, meatloaf is a clean, wholesome food. A host of "traditional" meatloaf recipes use things like barbeque sauce or A1 for flavor - very low on the Clean spectrum of things. When I saw these three ( essentially ) clean meatloaves in this month's issue of Women's Day Magazine, I knew I'd be posting them. I can't wait to try them. If you do, please post and let me know how you liked it! Lamb, Balsamic & Sundried Tomato Meat Loaf Whether you use lamb or substitute it with beef, this recipe is a refreshing take on the usual, with sweet sundried tomatoes balanced out by heady rosemary. Serve it with couscous for a real Mediterranean feast. Active Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes Recipe Ingredients 1 lemon 2 large eggs 2 T bsp balsamic vinegar K...

Homemade Almond Milk ( Fast and Easy )

Making homemade almond milk is truly fast and easy. In fact, I made my very first batch of this creamy treat last week for the first time. It involved using only two ingredients: almonds and water, and had only four simple steps: soak, blend, strain, drink. After soaking, the entire process took me only 10-15 minutes. It was fun and tasted amazing! I'm sold on only making my own because store bought almond milk is stored in containers that are lined with plastic and plastic leaches estrogens into the food. And many brands add chemicals. My homemade drink tastes just as good if not better and I store it in glass. I've stopped buying plastic water bottles last year, but I didn't realize that cans and cardboard containers are lined with plastic as well. The convenience of buying containers of almond milk ( along with organic veg soup broth, canned beans, coconut milk) is exposing me to a continuous flow of estrogens which is linked to not only breast cancer but weight gain!...
