Looking for a scrumptious meal loaded with veggies and nutrients? One word: pilaf. Though a traditional pilaf may be bursting with flavor, it might leave you bursting at the seams. Cut the calories with one simple substitution. Cauliflower contains only five grams of carbs per cup, 40 grams less than its brown rice alternate. It’s an easy way to enjoy a filling dish without the belly-bloating carbohydrates!
