Five Ingredient Friday: How to Make Cauliflower Rice

October 18, 2013 By Karen Sorenson

One of the first lessons in my grain-free kitchen was about how to make Cauliflower Rice. One of my favorite low carb and grain free substitutes to use is cauliflower in place of rice. It’s very easy to whip up a batch of cauliflower rice and it works well in most recipes.  Cauliflower rice is…

Today’s recipe combines taco seasoning and ranch seasoning to create a zesty slow cooker chicken.
