Low Fat Cauliflower Crock Pot Chili - 26.6g Carbs, 7.3g Fiber, 9.3g Sugar

{Suggestions: I adapted this a bit when running the information for the nutrition, however, it is still a bit high in sodium... most likely from the chili seasoning. If you add your own chili seasoning and leave the sodium out this will further improve the nutrition. Take Care, Gloria}
