FRIED "RICE" (Cauliflower): Heavenly and such a lifesaver if you have been on the diet for a while and need comfort food. Don't be put off the effort in grating the cauliflower... its fast and easy.
Ingredients:
• 1/2 of head of cauliflower
• Optional: 1- 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp. olive oil
• 1-4 tsp soy sauce (sugar free. Adjust amount to your taste)
• 3 green onions, chopped
• Pepper (I use a mix of Black, White, Pink, & Green) + Sea Salt and / or Herb salt like Mrs Dash
• 1 egg, beaten
Instructions:
1. Great the cauliflower. If it looks like you have too much, you can either make a big batch and reheat the leftovers, or put away the uncooked grated cauliflower to use for another meal. (store in a freezer bag if not using in next day or two)
2. Heat the oil in a wok or large non-stick skillet on medium to
medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and garlic and stir
fry until the cauliflower is tender, not mushy.
3. Stir in the soy sauce (Can add 1 tsp sesame oil, but I dont). Add spices to taste.
4. Use spatula to move the cauliflower to one side of the pan.
5. Crack an egg in the pan and scramble slightly. While still "wet", mix into the cauliflower. Add the green
onion and toss.
You can add your protein to this for a meal (Shrimp or Chicken is great). You can also cook the meat separately. (I cook peeled and de-tailed jumbo shimp sprayed with olive oil, a dash of chili pepper, salt and pepper, a dash of garlic powder and squirted with lime juice and bake at 210 C for about 10 min. Bliss)
NOTES:
In this picture, I made a salad with a dressing of vinegarette out of olive oil, pepper, salt, and 1 tsp of Da Vinci sugar-free Raspberry syrup. It was unreal delicious. Looking forward to playing around with sugar free Mango, Orange, Peach etc flavors with the oils to spice up the salads in the future.

"Magic Mashed Potatoes" (Cauliflower)
Steak & "Magic Mashed Potatoes"
The star of this show is what looks like naughty mashed potatoes but is really a gorgeous cauliflower surprise.
Ingredients:
Cauliflower (I use frozen bags. Easier & less expensive than fresh)
2-4 tsp olive oil
Sea Salt + Black Pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder or fresh crushed garlic (more or less or none at all to taste)
White Pepper and Herb Salt (like Mrs Dash or Herbamare)
Optional: 1 oz milk
Optional: 2 tsp horseradish (I use from a tube. I think this is mandatory, as it gives a little kick and helps make the cauliflower taste transform into a more rounded gourmet mashed potato flavor)
