The thing I love about pilafs is that you can add in a lot of good healthy ingredients to them – think immune boosting onions, garlic, kale and spices. The thing I love even more about using cauliflower as the “grain” is that it gives you the illusion of a …
This slaw is so good, fresh and easy that it’s going into my weekly Corona cooking rotation. I had the ingredients in the house: a pineapple that needed my attention, a bunch of cilantro and a large head of kale that was making its way into my Cauliflower Rice Pilaf. …
