Art's goal for me in the past few months has been to reduce my glucose levels. On one of our grocery shopping trips to Sam's Club, he noticed Riced Cauliflower.
"Since you're avoiding rice to reduce your carb levels, I'll bet this will help," he said.
Hmmmm.... I was not thrilled with the idea but he put it in our cart.
And he made it a point to serve it to me at dinner that night. 😏
Mom? Nope. Rice is rice to her. She says she's 92 and will eat rice. And that is that.
We make and eat quite a bit of cauliflower rice at home. I quite enjoy it though freely admit it isn't the same as jasmine rice.
ReplyDeleteIt is not exactly the same, but if you doctor it up or use it to make fried rice it is not bad. I use it for a lot of things. It is great to use in smoothies. I think you could probably substitute it anywhere rice would be used.
ReplyDeleteFried rice? Wow! That is sounding very interesting. I'll bet it would be good with Portuguese sausages.
DeleteI do use it but admit it is pretty blah. I add Lemon Curd to it and it jazzes it up a lot. I also use that on my veggies. Of course I am a lemon curd fan. Can eat it plain out of the jar.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen lemon curds at the market. Now I'll keep my eyes focused for them.
DeleteCauliflower really helps my diabetic husband's diet. It is his rice. Your mom should eat whatever she wants at her age.
ReplyDeleteI tried some once. Felt like I'd have to add so many bad things to it in order for it to taste good. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI'm actually getting very used to it. It helps that I've lost most of my sense of taste so I can sort of pretend it's rice or potatoes or whatever.
DeleteSomething ESPish is going on here, because I dreamt last night I was trying to make cauliflower buns for hamburgers. I'm not kidding! Well, now I'm hungry for Jasmine rice and lemon curd thanks to Ed and Patti, but good for you and Art, Kay. And good for your mom too. 😉👍♥️
ReplyDeleteCauliflower buns? Too funny! I'm going to look for those lemon curds too.
DeleteYour mom will probably outlast all of us...lol!
ReplyDeleteRiced cauliflower actually tastes pretty good but I am in your mom's camp and I do love my rice.
ReplyDeleteTried it and said no more. Husband not a big fan of cauliflower anyway. Will stick to the real thing.
ReplyDeleteWe eat very little rice, so I guess I'll just keep on eating my cauliflower as a vegetable. Interesting, though. Cauliflower seems to be being used in many ways now as a starch substitute.
ReplyDeleteI have some good recipes for cauliflower rice, which we love. If you don’t think of it as rice, it helps! It’s good with just salt, pepper, and a bit of butter.
ReplyDeleteI love cauliflower and rice; now I'm curious to try it!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of it, but pretty much like cauliflower as it is.
ReplyDeleteThe closest I've come is having had a cauliflower crust on pizza once. It was great! :-)
ReplyDeleteI made a recipe of tahini dip using cauliflower. It came out delicious and you can use carbs or veggies for the dipping.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried mashed cauliflower? Like mashed potatoes and darn good.
ReplyDeleteNo, gosh... I never have. It's amazing how many people have tried it.
DeleteI like cauliflower but I've never had it "riced up".
ReplyDeleteI don't care for rice any way. And it contains some unhealthy stuff...in fact..it contains arsenic...which is never healthy.
ReplyDeleteWhaaaat???
DeleteAts why rinse, eh? 😊
DeleteGod bless Mom! She's such an inspiration to all of us. I've been interested in that riced cauliflower and such. Thanks for the report
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy cauliflower rice, it's so low in carbs.
ReplyDeleteAs you know husband Eddie is a type 2 diabetic, it helps keep his blood sugars healthy.
All the best Jan
