Cauliflower Fried Rice Recipe

So you guys know that Zach and I are trying to reduce our meat intake and UP our veggie intake. We eat wayyyy too much meat and I've read that there are a TON of benefits to eating a more plant based diet.

I'm not going to give up meat completely because I LOVE ground turkey and I can't be living life without Taco Tuesday.

Buuuutttt I am challenging myself to eat completely vegetarian for at least one week to see how my body reacts/feels AND just to see if I can do it! I like to challenge myself and prove to myself that I can do hard things..so this was just another challenge! :)

So tonight I made C A U L I F L O W E R  F R I E D  R I C E!

But the cauliflower SERIOUSLY tasted like rice! You never would have known it was cauliflower!

My husband even thought it was rice!

It was REALLY good and super filling! I even called my mom to share the recipe with her because I was so EXCITED about how it turned out! {At the age of 28...I still want my momma to be proud of me!}


Okay so the recipe below was enough to serve a FREAKIN ARMY! I'm not sure why I felt the need to make this much food HA! At least we'll have it for leftovers!

Ingredients:

2 bags of frozen cauliflower {you totally could use fresh cauliflower}
1 bag of frozen carrots
1 bag of frozen peas
6 eggs
2 tsp of coconut oil {you could use sesame oil or olive oil}
4 tsp of liquid aminos
a teensy bit of salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Use a food process or blender {I used a blender because I was too lazy to pull out my food processor--but make sure not to blend it too much because then it'll just turn to a powdery consistency--so just pulse slowly for a couple of seconds}

2. Add oil to your large pan or wok.

3. Add all of the veggies to the hot oil.

4. Cook the veggies on medium heat for about 15-20 minutes--stirring occasionally. I covered the pan halfway with the lid so it would cook a little faster.

5. At about the 15 minute mark, add a little bit of salt and pepper.

6. Add your eggs to the veggie mix. Cook for about 7 more minutes..scrambling the eggs.

7. Add the liquid aminos to the mixture and stir for a couple more minutes to let the aminos soak into the mixture.

That's it! Seriously let me know if you try it!!
