      I love using cauliflower rice in place of grains (like rice) but I never thought of adding more to it. It seems so obvious now. I just started trying to eat healthier a couple weeks ago so I'm sticking to a (not very strict) paleo diet, which I love. I definitely need some new recipes to keep things interesting because I hate getting bored by eating the same things over and over. I'm excited to try some of these cauliflower rice recipes and check out what other stuff you have on here. I'm glad I found this blog 🙂
