Filled with loads of flavor, this dish will make your family think you spent all day in the kitchen — but don’t worry, we won’t tell them how easy it really is to make! Cauliflower rice, which can be prepped fresh or purchased ready to go in the freezer section of most supermarkets, is delicious way to cut calories and squeeze in extra veggies. Don’t be surprised when your kids go “stir-crazy” and ask for it every week. Thankfully, it’s so simple that you can turn every Friday into stir-Friday.
