Thanksgiving is right around the corner….LITERALLY!!! This Riced Cauliflower Stuffing will help keep you from throwing a wrench in your weight loss success!!
If your Thanksgiving is like many other traditional holiday meals, then will be lots of tempting carbohydrate sources such as dessert dishes, breads, fried foods, candies, and of course….STUFFING!! (Or “dressing” if you’re from the East Coast). But you can still enjoy the holiday with your loved ones with some simple modifications to your menu like this riced cauliflower stuffing recipe which actually does taste a lot like stuffing!! Plan your menu ahead of time or bring along your low carb favorites so you don’t have to feel left out or be tempted by the less healthy alternatives.
My favorite part about this recipe is the pecans, as they add a nice crunchy texture to the dish! You could even broil the stuffing in the oven for a few minutes to crisp up the top.
