mini~ meatloaf and Cauliflower rice

I hate Cauliflower! I don't eat it raw, cooked or mashed but... I really like cauliflower rice. It is fast and easy to make. I have been wanting to make it for a while so when I made my mini~meatloaf tonight, i thought that these two would pair nicely together! I was right ;)

Mini~Meatloaf

Preheat oven to 350 F

 1 LB. Ground meat ( I used beef)
1/2 green pepper, chopped finely
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
7oz. of salt free tomato sauce
1 egg
sea salt and pepper to taste

1.) Put all ingredients in a large bowl. Stir well.
2.) Fill medium size muffin pan 3/4 of the way up with    meatlof.
3.) Brush with a little left over sauce.
4.) Bake for 20 minutes.

Cauliflower Rice

1/2 head of cauliflower
1 TBS coconut oil (any oil will do but I use coconut for Paleo)
1 clove garlic, minced
1tsp Sea Salt
1tsp Pepper
1 tsp Rosmary

I used half of a head of Cauliflower to serve 2 people. It was enough for 4 servings!

1.) Wash cauliflower and de-root it.
2.) Cut it in half and place florets in a food processor. Grind it until it is a small rice consistency.
3.) In a skillet add oil and garlic. Allow to saute for 3 min.
4.) Add Cauliflower rice to the skillet and allow to Saute for 5 more minutes. Mix often and do not let it brown.
5.) While the rice is cooking you can add fresh seasonings. I chose to add Pepper, Rosmary and Sea salt.   *You could add 1/2 a chopped onion, ginger, parsley, chives- whatever you enjoy!*

This is, believe it or not, almost a buttery flavored rice! ENJOY!
