I’ve been making this Creamy Cauliflower Rice dish for a while now. I felt like it was too simple to share on the blog. But every time I make it, we love it. On our recent trip to see Tim’s family, I made the creamy cauliflower rice and everyone went in for seconds. They couldn’t believe how good cauliflower tastes. Tim’s dad said that he can easily replace regular rice with the cauliflower rice.

If you’re trying to eat healthy, this is the dish you must try. You can also skip out on cheese. The dish won’t be as creamy, but at least a bit healthier.
