Paleo Slow Cooker Cauliflower "Rice" is a great recipe for those keeping a strict paleo diet but who still want to enjoy common and familiar side dishes. Although this side dish recipe is a little different than what you're used to, the flavors are undeniable. If you never knew you could transform cauliflower into rice, you aren't alone -- it's not frequently done.

In my quest to live a much healthier lifestyle I've heard so much about how cauliflower is taking the place of so many of the foods most of us enjoy...but usually end up regret eating afterwards. I personally am a huge fan of rice and this looks like it would be a great alternative. I can't wait to try it. Being a fan of Chinese food...I bet the benefits would be enormous, not to mention the taste!
