Cauliflower Fried RiceDo you wanna chow down on a big bowl of takeout-style fried rice without needing to worry about portion sizes? My hand is up over here! If yours is too, you’ll love this recipe.

Not only is it a fave dish of mine, it was recently featured in Men’s Health as one of The 50 Healthiest Recipes Known to Man. Everything looks delicious and oh-so-healthy! (That’s what happens when you get foodie dietitians in the kitchen).

It’s less than 200 calories a serving (so you can double up with zero guilt) and freakin’ delicious! I made it for my boyfriend who wanted something low carb but tastes better than grabbing some Chinese or Thai fried rice takeout. Not an easy task! Happy to report he is obsessed with my take featuring cauliflower “rice”.
