This was actually better than I had expected. Easy and low mess, I used some zucchini I had on hand instead of cauliflower rice, made for a nice little meal that my wife loved. I wasn't as wowed as she, but if I can get that reaction out of her again, sure, its going on my permanent menu rotation. -
