Healthy + Hearty Cauliflower Rice

As much as I love to follow recipes – sometimes it is so fun for me to create random delicious concoctions all inspired by what I am craving at the moment. I created this recipe last year and have changed it every so often depending on what my body needs. Sometimes, I add tomatoes and mushrooms, other times it is onions and chicken. That being said – here is the base recipe – feel free to alter to fit your taste buds!

Also, I typically make this as two servings for lunch, but if you wanted to make it as a side for dinner for the family I would leave out the chicken and serve with a chicken breast or salmon. It kind of reminds me of risotto with the creamy texture. 

Ingredients: (2 servings)

One bag frozen cauliflower rice. I have used both seasoned and non-seasoned.

6-8 quartered cherry tomatoes

One green onion (or 1/4 yellow onion)

2 tbsp Olive Oil

About 1 1/2-2 TBSP goat cheese

Large handful of fresh spinach

Mushrooms or cooked chicken (optional) 1/2 cup chopped

Instructions:

Heat olive oil to medium high heat and add in cauliflower rice, onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms if you are doing those.

*If you are doing Chicken I would wait and add it when you add in the goat cheese so it doesn’t get over cooked. 

Sauté and add salt and pepper to taste. I go heavy on the pepper in mine.

Once cooked/soft and warm. Add in goat cheese and stir around until melted and creamy texture.

Add in spinach and saute until wilted.

Enjoy!
