Coconut Lime Orange Cauli-Rice Bowl

Subbing cauliflower rice for the classic brown or white rice does not make healthified meals any less filling. Cauliflower tastes delicious when roasted whole, grilled like a steak, or mashed like potatoes, but the cruciferous and protein-packed vegetable at 11g a head which is an even better reason to eat it. It tastes great as a faux-rice and a grain alternative.  This is one recipe I'm loving. The slight natural sweetness of the coconut mixed with lime pairs extremely well with this Fall/Winter veggie.
