Autoimmune Paleo Cauliflower Sushi

Image
 This was another one of my kitchen experiments that turned out better than I imagined. Before going Paleo, I loved going out for sushi. And right before I went Paleo, I had pretty much mastered the art of making sushi at home. A few days ago while I was grocery shopping the idea to use cauliflower instead of rice came to me, so I instantly rushed home to try it. When I got home my partner asked what I was going to make for lunch- when I told him what I planning to try, they said "well, I guess I'll go put a steak on the grill." God knows they have eaten some terrible things that were products of unsuccessful kitchen experiments. After I was finished making them, I was happy that they were eating steak though- because I didn't have to share! :)

This is a big plus for me, because washing dishes is not my favorite chore.

So when it worked out on my first attempt, I was delighted. If you experiment with your own original recipes, you know what I mean! I was especially happy because this was my first Autoimmune Paleo dessert recipe. If you aren't familiar with the Autoimmune version of the Paleo protocol- it's very restrictive. No eggs, nuts, dairy, grains, legumes, nightshades, or sweeteners. If you're struggling with an Autoimmune disorder, I highly recommend this book. Sarah Ballantyne, from ThePaleoMom.com , provides some well-researched information about Autoimmune disorders.  I've only been following the protocol strictly for about 1 month. At first, I thought that there would be no way to make anything with the amount of ingredients I could have. Then I realized that following this protoco
