Cauliflower Rice ...yum....

Hello to all!

I would love to embark on a ketogenic diet. It is not a diet per se but it is optimally nourishing your body , enhance detox and keep illness at bay. But Iam breast feeding my child so I need a lot of fuel to burn. This is my attempt to keep the grains at bay at dinner times. I find my family specially my seven year old loves the healthy version of restaurant  food made with fresh ingredients. 

 I eat it at dinner. This is how and why you must try it;
  • It is super easy to prepare and yummy. 
  • It super nourishes your body while promoting weight loss. 
  • Do you know your body detox itself every night ? Well here is the booster cauliflower will help activate detox enzymes!
  • It is great for your heart and brain

Cauliflower rice goes with anything even traditional Sri Lankan curries! I made it for dinner last night with sautéed vegetables . I heard the noise of the forks and spoons scraping against the plates ;-)



Ingredients 

Head of cauliflower
Soaked Rice
Broth (vegetable , meat , chicken or fish) optional


Method 

Wash the cauliflower head in running water. Chop or grind  in to a rice like consistency. Steam it in the steamer for 10 minutes. If you are new to the taste of cauliflower you can cook your rice and add the cauliflower in the last five minutes and mix with rice and cook together. The deal is to substitute rice with cauliflower until you get used to it or if you don't like to give up rice.

A breakfast fit for a king!!

It’s half term break here in Dubai. Kids are at home and they have a busy schedule than the moms. They got loads of homework and lots of play time on their hands. Those who are yet to go to school have lot of exploring , playing and they need to grow up very fast and healthy! I have the combination at home and I am really blessed for these two cute gifts from life!  We get stuck when it comes to healthy breakfast for kids . The popular choices are pancakes, cereal and bread toast with a fruit juice on the side. As the sail upstream lady I cannot settle for any of that. In fact I have none of that in my home unless if there is a long pending special request. Here is one of my very successful inventions approved by toddler and school kid for breakfast!  Avocado Mousse  Ingredients : Half an avocado (School kid) handful of Pecans soaked for 12 hours Half a ripe banana  Two dates Chia seeds Freshly made coconut Milk Method: ...

COVID 19 Shopping. Ultimate guide to stay home, low budget , finger licking Nutrition

It’s been a very long time since I had blogged. I kind of got busy with other things, a lot of other things, In fact, I thought of giving up blogging altogether. Anyhow I realized that writing is my comfort zone and I communicate well when I write my thoughts out loud. So I am back hoping to do something great with my god-given skill! I have news! I am a full-time French student and I found that I can write in French a bit better than I can speak or understand French! It just confirms that writing is my comfort zone in communication. I guess one needs to understand one's comfort zones, strengths and weaknesses. It is a great point to start becoming a better you personally and professionally. However, blogging is not just writing your thoughts out but organizing your writing in a meaningful way and presenting them to your target audience and then your ability to hold their attention. Then comes all the tech stuff such as SEO etc. I can never get my head around mastering (no...

The far far away land called home!

Sometimes I wish time machines were not science fiction material! Often I wanted to go back in time to be with my parents in that rural village just to re-live a day in my childhood. Memories are so precious to me but with time they have faded, I wish I wrote them down earlier.  It was the year 1983 my parents started building our home in a rural town called Athurugiriya. It is a lush tropical town close to the capital city of Colombo. I can remember the three of us visited the building site quite often. The builders stayed in a makeshift wooden cabin and we used to carry food for them during weekends. There were other families building their homes nearby. My mother used to complain that we will have to live in a wilderness. But my father enjoyed that wilderness and nurtured it until his last breath. In 1983 civil war was ravaging the north of the country and there were incidents to disturb life in the capital city. However, life was slow steady, and peaceful in my villa...
