Clara's Cooking | Cauliflower Rice (Whole30)

This is a great side dish, especially to chicken. Much simpler than it may seem. To be honest, I was unable to use a food processor (my Cuisinart blade was recalled and I'm STILL waiting on a replacement grrrr), so I just finely chopped the cauliflower by hand. A bit messy, but totally doable.

Cauliflower Rice

Ingredients:

1 large head cauliflower, finely chopped
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can coconut milk (12oz)
1/2-3/4 cup chopped cilantro (or may substitute parsley, but I LOVE cilantro with coconut!)
Dash of lime juice
Olive oil, coconut oil, or ghee
Salt, black pepper

Directions:

1. Heat large pan to medium. Saute garlic and onion in olive oil until slightly browned.
2. Add cauliflower and mix well. 
3. After about 5 minutes, add coconut milk, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until cauliflower is cooked.
4. Gently mix in lime juice and half of cilantro. Top with remainder of cilantro when ready to serve.

Tips:
 - To reduce fat, replace 1/2 of coconut milk with water. The dish will be less decadent, but still tasty.
 - To switch things up, substitute other citrus for lime, such as lemon, orange, or calamondin juice.
- To make the cauliflower less soft, squeeze excess water out of the cauliflower in a cheesecloth after blending (before cooking).

Enjoy!

Dollar Tree Desk Organization 2017

New Dollar Tree organizing video is out! AH YES, it feels so good to get my desk organized. Absolutely, hands down it was THE messiest place in our house. It's where upcoming projects go, and where stuff of previous projects go when they aren't properly put away!

See video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERgx4kZjYMM

Here's the disastrous BEFORE photo (YES, it really was this messy):

And, the AFTER photo (insert breath of fresh air and sigh of relief):

I keep jewelry out of the way with my Dollar Tree Jewelry holder:

I love their file folders and plastic label holders!

And their bins...oh yes the Dollar Tree bins. They have about a jillion different kinds of different shapes, sizes, and colors.

And of course, my desk would not be complete without cute little decor from Dollar Tree:

See the video for more organizing schtuff, plus I quickly go over the little process I went through when decluttering and clearing my desk. (Dollar Tree Desk Organizing video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERgx4kZjYMM )

Everyone may use their desk for different things....homework, crafts, grading papers, doing your nails....how about you? :)
