Frugal In Florida

Did you see my excitement a few weeks ago when I finally found the bags of riced cauliflower at Trader Joe's? I made a bag of that stuff that very night without any thought ... that's how excited I really was ;-) It was really easy too since the cauliflower was already riced ... all I had to do was zest a lime, chop some cilantro, juice the lime and cook the "rice". I have turned so many people on to this stuff in the past few weeks that I may never find it again at the Trader Joe's by my house! *Type 1 Diabetics should be stockpiling this stuff with only 3 grams of carbs per serving! This isn't really a recipe, so to speak, but more of a process. And I'm looking forward to making it again! Here's what you need: 1 12 oz bag of riced cauliflower (or you can certainly rice your own, it's just messy) handful of cilantro 1 lime Toss your cauliflower rice into a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow to heat through without me...

I'm not sure if this is working or not. My rice cooker keeps turning to warm and I KNOW it can't be done yet ... but I suppose I will get up and check on it. Since I'm making these sour cream enchiladas for dinner, thought I'd get some rice done and out of the way this morning. Rinsed 2 cups of rice til clear. Dumped rice into the rice cooker bowl. Took lid off a can of fire roasted tomatoes. Grabbed my NEW immersion blender, stuck it in the can and let that baby rip. Woohoo! That was a cheap thrill for the morning! Dumped 2 1/2 cups of tomato-y stuff in with rice (by the way, 1 can measured 2 1/2 cups worth). Mixed it up a little. Added a dash of water (less than 1/4 cup) ... and fired it up. Flipped back to cook 2 times. Probably done now. *note: the cup measurements are the rice maker cup ... MY rice cup is really 2/3 of a REAL measurement so follow the directions of the rice package OR your rice maker, don't mix and match - which is what I did*...
