Low Carb and Yummy

Fat free, Paleo, Low Calorie, Low Carb... oh my goodness there are so many different ways to eat out there. We have really started to work on the way that we eat in our house. It has been a gradual process but we are doing great with it!

Our whole family is on Plexus products... and since beginning Plexus our tastes have changed! We literally crave healthy food and our sugar and carb cravings are diminished! For those of you who haven't heard of Plexus, it is a health and wellness company and the main product, Plexus Slim, helps to regulate blood sugar and lower lipid levels and blood pressure. We love Plexus and it has literally changed our lives.

So because of Plexus we have been eating healthier, we have kicked our soft drink habit and sugar is on it's way out the door! Tonight I wanted to make one of our favorite meals... but it really isn't all that healthy... so here is a spin on it!

"Tequila" Lime Chicken with Ginger Cilantro "Rice"

Chicken Tenderloins
Olive Oil
Cilantro
Limes
Garlic
Ginger
Head of Cauliflower (or Two if you have a large family)


Ok- it is best to make this marinade the day before and have the chicken in it overnight.

In a food processor use 1/4 cup olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, dash of cayenne, bundle of cilantro (just the leaves), juice and zest of one lime along with some fresh garlic paste (you can get this in a tube) and puree together. (You can put a little tequila in this marinade if you want, but I was out!)

Place the chicken in a big ziploc bag and pour this marinade over. Seal and squish around to get the marinade on every inch of the chicken....

Place in the fridge and marinate for at least 2 hours. (overnight is better)

Cut the tops off the cauliflower and place in a pot of boiling water until tender... Press through a ricer or just use a fork to "rice"

Next place the rice in a saute pan and add garlic, ginger paste, salt, pepper, and saute for a few minutes. When ready to serve just squeeze lime juice, lime zest and a handful of cilantro and stir...

This is seriously so GOOD! You won't even miss the rice... This cauliflower rice tastes so much like rice and it is low carb!!!!

So you can even afford to eat a tortilla with this meal and not feel guilty!

Try it and let me know what you think... the kids loved it!
