I shouldn’t be allowed to wear my workout shoes. Anywhere. Even the the gym. They smell like living hell.
So yesterday, I thought it would be a good idea to drink about 20 ounces of water per class. And I taught 3 classes. Do the math. Then drank a coffee and another glass of water. Worked out. Then another glass. So if I’m doing my math right, that’s like 1,000 ounces. Ok, not really. But it’s a lot of ounces since I still drank a couple more glasses through the day. But I didn’t feel healthy or refreshed. I felt bloated and uncomfortable. And I barely peed. What does that mean? Am I dying. I don’t know about this whole drinking water thing. I feel like a water balloon. But not the firm water balloons that will definitely pop when you throw them. No, no. I feel like the big floppy ones that bounce right off that ground and almost become a flat pancake. Is any of this making sense to you? Me neither.
I know this isn’t the most creative recipe I’ve ever created, but it’s delicious. And easy. And I’m way more into easy these days. Especially since I leave for Lake Powell today and I had to use up everything I had in my fridge before I left. So…sorry for not being sorry!! Remember my trip to Lake Powell last year? It was fun. I wonder if it will top it this year. To be continued…
I’m frightened about the sun in Lake Powell. I haven’t really tanned whatsoever this summer, which is the first summer ever, so my skin is only a slight bronze from the tanning lotion I’ve been slathering on. Only sometimes because it smells sketch. Jergens commercials about their lotion not smelling is total bull. Don’t believe them. It turns you nice and orangey, but it smells weird.
What’s up with the pretzel bun obsession nowadays? I don’t get it.
Ok before I leave you, I have to tell you about a new favorite product I recently tried. The company is called Sweety P and is a paleo-inspired bakery. They have mini loafs and bite size treats which include flavors of cinnamon, chocolate chip, banana bread, and chocolate zucchini. It’s the perfect sized treat for a snack or dessert. I became instantly obsessed with these little bites of joy. And they aren’t too sweet, just sweet enough to satisfy that cake need. I love cake. Check them out here!
Mexican Rice Bowls
- Yield: 3-4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1/3 cup broth or water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- handful of fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- juice of 1 lime

- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- salsa of choice
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Run florets of cauliflower through a food processor using the shredding attachment, to rice the cauliflower. Or use a grater and crate the cauliflower until you have small pieces.
- Place a small saucepan over medium heat, add cauliflower and broth or water and a bit of salt to the pan and cover to let steam for about 10 minutes. Mix a couple times to keep from sticking to the bottom.
- Once cauliflower is soft, add garlic powder, cayenne pepper, cilantro, lime, and a bit of salt and pepper.
- While rice is cooking, place a medium skillet over medium-high heat and cook chorizo and ground beef. Break up into small pieces and cook until cooked through completely.

This recipe is amazing! My kids even ate it and loved the “rice”!
Just made this last night as my first paleo dish. An excellent substitute for a burrito or basically any of my mexican food cravings. Thank you!
Omg what a plonker I am.!
Thought of trying cauliflower rice been looking in all the supermarkets in the rice section :-/ haha
O-M-G!!! I never knew there was such thing as cauliflower rice. We just ate this recipe for dinner and it was amazing!!!
This was a great recipe, and quick too!!! Everyone, including our two boys age 7 and 8, loved it.
My kids were excited over this dish.. They asked for more smashed potatoes! 😉 Although I didn’t use chorizo just doubled the ground beef. I am so thankful to find your website as I have always been scared to add spices, ect not knowing what to use and since we joined cross fit we have been eating paleo for the past 3 months and what a difference!
I wanted to check out the Sweety P bakery online – the website isn’t working
i think they might have closed down 🙁
I made this tonight and it was so good! Will become one of my favorite dishes. I’m looking forward to trying other recipes from your site. Thank you for sharing!
First – love your site and just bought your cookbook. I’m probably the only nerd who related to your first sentence about your shoes, but here’s a fix from a fellow Coloradoan. Sprinkle a little baking soda in each shoe and each sock for about a week and that should kick it (pun intended). It changes the PH balance so the bacteria won’t grow.
Me too, your first sentence reminded of the time my husband put he’s expensive work boot on the front porch to air out and a stray cat pee’d in them LOL
