cauliflower "fried rice" from the folks at Goop

I feel as though I should be apologizing for this post on so many levels.  Two uber healthy recipes in a row..., the photos I took look pretty gross..., it's not even my recipe..., and YES, I subscribe to Gwyneth's Goop on a regular basis.  It is what it is, and frankly, this is good.  I made it for dinner last night, to pair oven roasted salmon, and it was absolutely delicious.  Mr. Butter loved it, and we both stuffed our faces without feeling too guilty.

Just to be clear - this recipe is taken directly from the folks at Goop.  I've come across several versions of "cauliflower rice" over the last few weeks as everyone scrambles to lose a few holiday pounds, and this one looked the best.  As per the usual, I added a few ingredients to suit my own taste - which is exactly what I suggest that you do as well.

monday resolutions - a clean soup to start the week

sauteed broccoli w/ onion and garlic

If you're like me, every Monday begins with the promise of cleaner eating.....at least until next weekend.  Unfortunately, the prospects always seem so dire.  Who wants to snack on raw vegetables in the middle of January? That is unless, of course, you're fortunate enough to be spending your winter in South Florida,  or the Caribbean (or anywhere warmer that it is here !!! ).

This soup, from Goop, is the perfect solution.  With all the healthy benefits of fresh broccoli and arugula, the flavor remains comforting.  Steamy spoonfuls of this soup, taste of warm citrus, punctuated with peppery arugula and bright broccoli.

 If you don't already subscribe to Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle publication, you should.  If not just for the recipes, but there is so much more to enjoy!  From the site, "Goop gives readers exclusive access to recipes, travel guides, fashion, wellness tips, cultural notes and more.".   With friends like Mario Batali, and José Andrés, how could one go wrong in the kitchen?  There is, however, more to Gwyneth, than famous friends.  She has already published two cookbooks, with a third to be released in April.  I've already pre-ordered mine!
