There's never any reason to throw away those stems and leaves. They
make wonderful soup.

Explain how you use them for soup, please. The only thing I have ever
used for soup is cabbage in vegetable soup.

You don't have to like soup. I was merely pointing out another way to
use the parts of cauliflower often cast away. <shrug>

Personally, I have no interest in making faux rice out of cauliflower.
Or ricing cauliflower. Whatever.

Wow. You've never had cauliflower soup? It's delicious.

You could go with very simple cauliflower soup. Cooked in chicken broth
and simply seasoned with salt & pepper. Or broccoli and cauliflower
soup. Or cheese cauliflower soup. I find them all delicous. Then
again, I was once known on RFC as the Soup Queen.

How do you use the core and leaves for soup? Do you use them as
flavoring in preparation of the stock or do you cut them up to be part
of a pureed soup?

I do realize that but she's so mean as a snake lately. Half of her
posts lately drips venom. The Boner boy is the most annoying troll
here ever and she supports him. No one else does. Sf also doesn't
realize just who she's going off on. You guys are playing with her
so far. She pushes it more and....well....she's playing with fire and
will get burned if she continues. IMO

She should just drop all this venom and let it all fade away.

Jill, if you are trying to cut carbs in your diet, cauliflower makes an excellent rice substitute. You chop up some cauliflower and pulse it in the food processor till it is about the size of large grains of rice. Then saute' it in a large skillet with a little butter or coconut oil...or olive oil.... to cook it till barely done. It has a rice like feel and an innocuous flavor. You can then use it like rice for a base for dishes or sauces, etc. It works very well. I use it for stir fry as well.

There is even a method where the cauliflower rice is mixed with shirataki rice after the shirataki rice has been rinsed, drained and dried in the oven.. I particularly like this methodology because it doubles the volume of 'rice' without doubling the carbs.

I don't use stems and leaves, but when I make vegetable soup,
I like something cabbage-y in it. A whole cabbage is too much, so I
keep frozen cauliflower. When I make soup (nearly every week),
I defrost some cauliflower, chop it up, and throw it in the soup
at the last minute. (I don't like vegetables to be cooked too much).

Here is a recipe for the shiraaki cauliflower rice that I use and like.

Actually, I do know the reasoning behind it. I still don't understand
it. I'm not 'low carbing". Substitutes amuse me. It's like pretending
soy milk or almond milk is real milk.

Rice has never been a staple in my diet. I don't eat potatoes every
day, either. I'm not chomping down on bread with every meal. Who are
all these people eating so many carbs they have to have a "diet" for it?

(snipped ridiculously long line)

Yeah, I know how to make it. I just don't want to. I *love*
cauliflower. As a side dish to meat. Or in a bowl of soup.

> There is even a method where the cauliflower rice is mixed with shirataki

Uh huh. Enjoy it.

I have an old family recipe for cauliflower soup. I used to enjoy it. I
should try to find it and try making it.

Not everybody's metabolism is the same.

Many people find they lose weight more easily or maintain a stable
blood sugar when they eat a few carbs as possible.

I suspect that people on an extremely restrictive diet find it comforting
to eat something that looks and tastes like the foods they crave.

Please be sure to take care of your health. Diabetes and its
requirements can make substituting a necessary part of life and not in
the least bit "amusing."

People seem to really like it. I imagine if you have diabetes,
it's a great substitute for rice.

I can eat rice as a diabetic. There are no foods that I avoid
altogether and I keep my HbA1c between 5.6 and 5.8.

Some folks are more susceptible in general to spikes than others and
some folks spike with certain foods more than other foods. Being a
diabetic means you really have to know how your body will react to
certain foods and food combos. It can be a lot of work early on, but
understanding it makes you healthier and better able to control BGs.

Moderation in all things works, too.

I've only read about people who say that rice really spikes
their numbers. That's why I thought it might be one reason
people might substitute.

Seems like it's worth the effort even though it's kind of a
chore to start with. My brother's going through that now.

Hmm. More overt lately perhaps, but still the same old barbara,
really. Maybe you're just coming to realise what she's really like.

She hasn't quite realised the implications of the poor choice she has
made yet. She is also aware that this troll has psychological issues,
and yet condones the behaviour simply because it attacks her
'enemies', knowing full well how disruptive it is to the group. What
does that say about her integrity.

It would be temporary, at best, even if she could.

Yes, I'm fortunate. I am not diabetic nor am I overweight so low or
no-carb isn't a factor for me. I eat a well balanced, healthy diet.
I'm not going to apologize for not having food restrictions.

I do see people jumping on food fad bandwagons. Lately it's yogurt.
The ads are all over television. Can't get away from ads about how good
and good for you! yogurt is. I've lived 55 years without eating yogurt.
I reckon I can survive however long I have left without it, too.

I sometimes cook with plain yogurt. It's a good sub if you don't have
sour cream but I have to go out of my way or be cooking something
specific before I buy it. No, I don't want to eat tubs of it.

Your naked attempt to intimidate, along with the actual stalking she has
been the victim of is noted.

It says this group needs a swift kick in its collective bullying arse!

And no one else is willing to take on the job.

It's fine for her to dislike and tangle with Steve, Marty and me, but
this allying with the Casa troll is dumb.

It's no wonder she's bitter. Perhaps she should have married a dog.

Yep. At least then there's no chance of inter-species breeding
occurring.

Because YOU want to see the "Groupkillas" flourish and you groove on the
bullying of Julie.

Nice...

You should have been a thalidomide baby.

It's satisfying you return to being evil, that whole nice guy crocheting

I've never cared for yogurt. I don't like the tartness of it. I don't
see the point of eating the sweetened and fruit-flavoured stuff, so I
don't bother with it at all.

If I have a recipe that I want to make that calls for yogurt, I might
buy a little container of it - you can get single-serve tubs of plain
6% fat yogurt here - but usually I'll substitute sour cream, which I
generally have on hand.

I suppose if you're accustomed to eating rice that's been messed with
a lot (spices, etc.), chopped cauliflower might taste enough like rice
to pass. I prefer my rice plain, cooked in unsalted water, and eaten
plain, without any sauce. Not to say I don't like it other ways; my
husband makes a very nice basmati pilaf when we cook Indian.
