You have to try this delicious dish that’ll satisfy your tastebuds with naturally sweet and spicy flavors. It’s the perfect recipe to start the season on the right note. As a bonus, it’s vegan!” ~ Karsyn Tall

coconut cauliflower rice

This coconut cauliflower rice is one of my favorite side dishes! The cauliflower acts like short grain rice … and looks kind of like couscous. But it’s totally grain free. That pretty much makes it an ideal side even for folks trying to keep carbs in check or following the oddest of diets! But it definitely doesn’t have “diet food” taste. It’s loaded with deliciousness and veggie goodness. And it’s so easy to make as I’ve streamlined the cooking process.
