Living a Low Carb Lifestyle, many people assume it's all about the meat, and veggies can easily take a back seat, in most people's minds. Which is why some people shy away from it. But, in my mind, they are equal partners. There's only so many ways that you can cook meat, but with the addition of veggies, and their versatility then the possibilities become endless, and the combinations that exist with how you can put them together, are mind blowing. I've said all that to say, that my two, no, three, favorite vegetables are zucchini, broccoli and cauliflower. That of course is evident in how I've used them lately in my cooking. I've made soups, frittatas, salads, and even substituted cauliflower in my decades old, homemade mac & cheese recipe. However, even though it's been around for awhile, and I've been aware of it, I've only recently started experimenting with riced cauliflower, and it's fantastic! I know you can buzz up your own, in a food processor, or use a box grater, but for the purpose of convenience, I buy the frozen kind from Sam's Club. I've written about 2 - 3 pages of ideas of how I'll be using it, and can't wait to see how each pans out in the kitchen; no pun intended. :-) So far I've kept things basic, by sauteing it in butter, with simple seasonings, and pairing it with pan braised Denver steak and mushrooms with, and without, roasted red bell peppers. It's so much like regular rice, that shrimp fried cauliflower rice will soon be on my menu; and that's just for starters. I could go on and on, but I think I've said enough, and I'm glad there are veggies that keep my imagination on fire with ideas to keep the Low Carb Lifestyle interesting. :-)
