LOW CARB KETO CAULIFLOWER SPANISH RICE RECIPE

ThisSpanish Style Cauliflower KETO Rice Reciperesults in a really tasty side dish that has an amazing texture - we all know that cauliflower never really, really tastes like rice, or feels exactly like it!

But this dish actually resembles it AND because it is so packed full of flavor, you will find that you do not miss the traditional version of rice at all! Especially when you are feeling great from those extra veggies and are inline with your weight-loss or maintenance goals!

I have found over the last 15+ years of following a low carb lifestyle - for the most part, anyway - that once you make a substitution, you get used to it and do not feel that you aremissing outon really good food!

While I do not usually share that many low carb recipes, I keep telling myself that I need to get into the habit, because I have been following a low carb lifestyle ever since I found out about the Atkins Diet almost 20 years ago!

I don't follow low carb constantly, I definitely stray some years, but I have always found that once I get back into the habit, the weight drops off so quickly compared to a lot of other diets!
