Fried Cauliflower Rice

Tried this new recipe the other day. Was so so yummy!!! Super easy!!! Super filling!!! Super healthy!!!

If you know me I don't use recipes. I read one and then try my hand at it. I have had a few fails but usually works out for me. The only problem is I don't always remember what I used, so started this blog to keep track my recipes and to share if anyone wants it. 


Fried Cauliflower Rice


1/2 cup diced carrots
4 chopped green onion
1 1/2 cup cooked diced chicken
2 bags riced cauliflower
Soy sauce
Pepper
Ginger
Sesame oil

Put a little olive oil in the pan to start cooking up the carrots and onions. Add already cooked chicken and the riced cauliflower. I had a plain riced bag and one herbed bag, so I used both. The pepper and ginger I probably used 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon each. I put soy sauce and sesame oil to taste.

Salsa

                                 Homemade Salsa


Our garden has been ridiculous this year. We are giving away lettuce, tomatoes and zucchini on a daily basis. We had so many tomatoes, even after giving it away, that we needed to do something with them. Salsa it was!!!  My husband makes amazing salsa, but I decided the girls and I should try our hand at it.  It was a fun time, used our tomatoes and was pretty good at the same time.

Salsa
  • 10 fresh tomatoes
  • 18 tomatillos
  • 2 onions
  • 1/4 cup minced garlic
  • 3 Tablespoons cilantro
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • Salt to taste



Take out as many seeds as you can from the tomatoes.  Chop everything to smaller sizes and blend in the food processor.  The sugar and salt are to taste. It also is dependent upon tomatoes you use.
It is fun any easy to do. Healthy as well. Get the kids involved.  Make a mess and make memories. 

Was of course great with chips, but we also put on soft tacos that night.  We didn't need to add tomatoes or onions like normal.  The salsa gave us the flavor that was needed.
