True story – I wasn’t always on board with cauliflower rice.  I thought it was far too much of an effort to “rice” the cauliflower and I didn’t yet realize how tasty cauliflower fried rice could be!

My vision of cauli rice was a whole lot of mess with resulting boring mushy “rice” that tasted nothing like actual rice.
