Please oh please tell me how you manage to make cauliflower rice not just a pile of mush? As a Paleo eater, I love the idea of cauliflower rice but mine is always just nasty in the end. I've tried steaming, boiling, roasting, ricing before and after cooking and it just always seems so wet. Ugh. Any tips or your method for this would be greatly appreciated.

I'm still perfecting my technique, because I also have this issue. I have found these things helpful:
-cut the raw cauliflower into uniform florets ("tree tops" only, discard or reserve the stems for something else - they won't pulse in the food processor at the same rate and you'll end up with mush)
-PULSE the cauliflower only. Don't be tempted to let it run, it will get over-processed very quickly.
-Don't to it all at once. Work in small batches.
-To cook, I use a large pan/skillet so I can spread it all in an even layer. Heat a little tiny bit of oil (just enough to coat the bottom of the pan) over medium or medium high (my dial goes to 10, I usually set it at the 6 or a hair higher).
-Add in some minced onions and garlic for flavor (I try to avoid salt here, because that draws the liquid from the veggies and can make them mushier) and let them brown a little, then add in your cauliflower. Gently stir it all up and then gently spread it evenly across the bottom of the pan. Let it cook for a couple of minutes. Stir and spread again, cook another couple of minutes. I don't cover/steam it like a lot of recipes I've seen say to, because I find that to make it mushier.

This seems to work pretty well for dinner that night, but any leftovers get mushy in the fridge. I wish I could make a lot ahead of time since it's such a pain and makes my kitchen so messy, but oh well. Good luck!

PS - yay for a fellow Paleo eater! Are there more of us on the Dis??

Tonight..
Baked chicken thighs, broccoli cheese rice and broccoli.

Monday.. leftover spaghetti pie

Tuesday.. Breakfast for dinner

Glad you like them. The kids like that they do not have to put the things that they do not like into their own individual packets. We sometimes make a chicken one too.

Hamburger soup sounds yummy! Care to share the recipe?

Of course . I often double this and make enough to freeze several dinners.

1.5 pounds of lean ground beef
2 large potatoes cut into cubes
2 stalks of celery sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1 small onion diced (I normally put them in the food processor)
3 beef bouillon cubes
1 can of whole kernel corn
2 carrots sliced
1 can of condensed tomato soup
1.5 cups of water
1 can of petite diced tomatoes

Place ground beef in a large skillet, cook over med-high heat until brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.

Put a layer of potatoes in the bottom of slow cooker. Sprinkle celery over potatoes and cover with a layer of ground beef.

Season each layer with salt and pepper to taste. Throw in carrots, onions, tomatoes and corn. Mix together the tomato soup and water with beef bouillon cubes and pour over the top. Cook on low for 7 hours.

Last night I went out with friends to Olive Garden.

Tonight I made buttermilk fried chicken with garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus, and corn

 

[wishesuponastar]

Saturday we had pizza from my favorite italian bakery/deli

Tonight was hot dogs with chips and fruit

Charming, may I ask please what kind of beef do you buy for the stir fry? I tried a beef stir fry once and I think the recipe called for flank steak. MAN, was that expensive! I think it was $8 pound! I guess I'm just used to chicken breast price of $2.29 lb.
