So I'm giving up rice for the week (work week that is). It's gonna super hard cause even thought I'm not a rice fan it's still a great (tummy) filler. My objective this week: find other fillers. I bought cauliflower cause I wanted to try making cauliflower rice. Turns out the food processor I thought I had was actually a juice extractor. Bummer!
But wait..... I "Googled" how to make cauliflower rice without a food processor and got some great info on alternatives. So now I'm gonna buy me some more cauliflower and give this "rice" a shot.
So I actually started my "no rice" diet on Sunday (June 23) and so far I've been doing good. Haven't had any rice in four days. Yay me! Seems I will make it to Saturday.
ReplyDeleteSo anyway I tried buying the cauliflower at Pricesmart. Seemed like a deal there but when I compared it to what I bought at the market I got the same amount for half the cost at Pricesmart. I'm definitely heading to the market on Saturday for sure!
So my week is almost over. Did I miss the rice? Yes and no. Today was the first day since week that I actually missed it. Missed it in the sense that I had to figure out an alternative to rice on short notice (haven't gotten the chance to go to the market yet). I had mashed potatoes with cheese instead. Rice is an easy alternative but when you plan your meals you will find it easy to get around having rice everyday.
ReplyDeleteI didn't miss it and I am glad I can say that I see more veggies in my future and less rice.
So I went to the market about 7 this morning (this is like daybreak in my world). I went and got my stuff (lettuce, cucumber, cabbage, watermelon, pineapple, gimbilyn, banana, watermelon,etc - wow I got a lot of stuff). Everything except the damn cauliflower! Anyway I may have to try getting a small one from the supermarket just to see how the cauliflower rice goes.
ReplyDeleteLast day of no rice week. Considering extending the challenge for another week. Let's see!
So I've extended my no rice challenge and I've gone eleven days so far without a taste. Well I'm having a taste today. Turns out I don't miss it as much as I thought it would. Seems I could almost live without it. I said almost! I have realised that life is a challenge and you just just have to take it one day at a time. With that I say rice was easy lol
