Thanks for the Link Blue. What do you eat with your chilli??

I think eating chilli on rice is a UK variation!

My own recipe for 'caulirice' is to grate it then add a little salt and microwave - I dont add butter. My husband prefers this to 'real' rice!!

Usually chili here has ground beef, kidney beans, tomatoes, green peppers. There are many variations but I can't wait to be able to make my own!

thats just what i use to make mine Blue, and i usually serve it with some rice. Do you just eat it by itself or with a salad or something?

I eat mine by itself, or sometimes ill serve it with cauliflower,

Im just so used to having it with rice! its hard to imagine eating it with something else! I think i will try it with a nice green leafy salad.

Try the cauliflower 'rice' - it works great. I've fed it to people who were not on atkins and they were perfectly happy with it. I usually use a little bacon fat rather than butter and put some fried finely chopped onions and celery through it. I don't grate or chop it - too lazy, I just chuck it in a food processor and zap till the pieces are about rice sized, which takes almost no time.

Chili in restaurants around here is served with either corn bread or totilla chips, Cafe.
There's probably low carb recipes for those two things around
