Notes

This is a recipe you will want to keep coming back for and all of the ingredients, if not already in your pantry, should be! First the dried spices add lots of flavor and nutrient value like enzymes that help your body fight off chronic disease and illness. We all want our kids to eat more veggies, why? Well, they build healthy bodies and healthy immune systems. Once the meat browns and the flavors from the coconut aminos and sesame oil do their magic, the veggies will be almost unidentifiable. Most grocery stores are making it easier by offering pre-riced veggies either in the produce isle or freezer section. I have tried a mixed medley as well as just cauliflower – they both worked perfectly. I know feeding a toddler a lettuce wrap sounds terrifying but sometimes a new method of “plate to mouth” is just fun enough to get them to take a bite.  Look for endives in your store as a fun little vehicle for food; if all else fails bowl and spoon are old faithfuls. This is a go-to dinner around our home but would work well as a weekly lunch prep. The leftovers served over crunchy lettuce with a squeeze of lime and a dash of coconut aminos – hits all the right taste buds.

The nutrition profile of cauliflower is impressive! It is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, containing some of almost every vitamin and mineral that you need. Count me impressed! Kids are smart and including them on the “why” we should eat more vegetables will help create well rounded and adventurous eaters.

Live well friends,
