I don’t go in for all these pre-amble things where recipe authors need to tell you their life story. This recipe is awesome next to any slice of meat you care to add to it.

If you have ever done a Google search for Paleo recipes, this is the recipe you will find 5000 versions of (maybe over 9000!). Mine is not much different, but maybe a little. I have a client who was also looking for something they could setup as “quick” food that would stop him from running through a drive-thru when he shouldn’t. He loves these things! He has given me 100 different variations that he uses.
Cauliflower is the new rice. It is also the new potato. Apparently, it is also the new chicken wing. I like to use it whenever I think of a recipe that could really use a fat, sexy starch. Like this one! This casserole is full of proteiny chicken and the savory goodness of a creamy pasta casserole without all the problems it can bring in your big old belly! It is very satisfying and some day soon, I will be revamping it once more to reduce the calories without removing the flavor and satiety it has now.
