Cauliflower Fried Rice

Cauliflower Fried Rice is another dish easily made paleo with a trendy clean eating essential; organic riced cauliflower! It was made to be a healthy/grain-free version of the Chinese dish fried rice and cooked in a large batch to help with busy weeks.

Sometimes life gets kinda hectic. After starting this blog, I underwent several breakups (why are they so much harder to deal with as an adult?!), health flare-ups, job changes, etc. Probably the most chaotic was the purchase of new home. It definitely turned out to be QUITE the fixer-upper, but is finally now looking to be in good shape ❤. When I say I had no time >>there was so much manual labor/cleaning to do that I was up until 4 a.m. for several weeks and lost over 10 lbs in a month). Anyways, were a little hectic.

In the midst of all of it, however, I lived off as clean of processed foods as I could in the morning and at night I batch cooked in hopes that it would last days. Breakfast consisted of powdered matcha made the easy way (1 tsp + 16 oz water & shake), KIND bars, and a late snack of KIND fruit bars. Lunch/dinner consisted of quick paleo dishes that made large amounts and could be consumed for days.

This was one of my go-to dishes. With pre-made organic riced cauliflower (one of my favorite clean eating essentials, it can be made in under an hour)! It was made to be a healthy/grain-free version of the Chinese dish fried rice. The fried rice was also made in large quantities to avoid waste/unused produce and feeds a large family or makes leftovers for days.

Hoping this dish helps you stay healthy through a little chaos as well! Here’s to regaining our sparkle together.
