Rice Alternatives

I use spaghetti sqaush as a spaghetti altenative. Is there anything that is a good rice alternative?

I use quinoa instead. I love the taste and it's high in protein. You could use pearl or pot barley but I don't because it takes longer to cook.
Google low carb fried rice or no rice. They grate up cauliflower
couscous is also another alternative - very very simple to make if you get the 5 minute versions.
bulgur! its great! lower cal than rice too

grated cauliflower....genius!!!!! thanks everyone!!

hi--my husband doesn't like any of the above mentioned items--so I buy Bird's Eye

Steam Fresh Whole Grain Brown Rice.  It is delicious and it is 150 calories per cup.  A cup is an awful lot of rice!  We often mix our veggies with it and make it like Oriental Fried Rice.  It is so easy, and good, if you have a picky eater in your family like I do!  Good Luck!

I gave up brown rice for bulgur and quinoa about 7 months ago ... lower calorie, lower carb, better flavor than rice!

I've never heard of bulgur or quinoa but willing to try it.  In what section of the supermarket to you find that stuff?
