This REALLY Surprised Me... With the signs of spring showing in my yard (robins, tulips and budding lilac bushes) I decide to take my healthy-eating a little more seriously to get in shape for spring/ summer fashions. Oh yeah, I want to be "healthy", too. I decided to try something new. I love fried rice but it doesn't really fit in my new "healthier" diet. I had some ingredients in my fridge that I thought might pacify my craving so I threw them together. I grabbed: 1/2 red pepper (chopped) 1/2 yellow pepper (chopped) about 1/2 cup chopped, cooked chicken about 1 cup of finely chopped cauliflower (yes, I did say "cauliflower") 1 egg 1-2 teaspoons of soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt to taste (optional) 1-2 tablespoons of oil To start, chop the peppers into small pieces. You'll use about 1/2 of each pepper for this. Now would be a great time to add an onion if you have one, but I didn't at the time. You would use 1/4-1/2 an onion depending on the size. Next, sauté the peppers (and onion if you're including it) in a pan with your favorite cooking oil and garlic salt. Add 1 tsp of soy sauce to start, the cauliflower, chicken and egg. Cook until combined and egg is fully cooked. Add the remaining soy sauce if desired. I was shocked that this was not only not bad but GOOD! It's also a great grain-free alternative to fried rice. Let me know if you make this and what you think!
