I'm on a low-carb diet. Can I use cauliflower rice instead of white rice?

I followed the recipe exactly, but my rice turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This rice dish was a little bland for my taste. I think it could use some more spices.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover rice. I added some chopped chicken and vegetables to make it a complete meal.

This Creole Rice with Tomatoes and Herbs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. The rice is fluffy and flavorful, and the tomatoes and herbs add a bright and fresh flavor. I especially loved the crispy bits of rice at the bottom of the pot.
