Orange-Ginger Veggie Stir Fry over Cauliflower Rice

by Leave a Comment

Who says healthy has to be boring and flavorless??  We are proving the nay-sayers wrong with this flavorful and uber healthy orange-ginger veggie stir fry with cauliflower rice. Even better is that you can have this on your table in 20 minutes.  Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Most of us don’t have time to slave over a meal at night, and even if you do have time you probably wouldn’t want to do that anyways.  As much as I love cooking, by the end of a busy day it’s not always what I want to be doing. So quick and easy is always a good combo….okay, that can really be taken the wrong way.  Still talking about food here just to be clear!

Since cauliflower rice has become so popular recently, it’s easy to find almost anywhere.  You can make it yourself, but it’s also really easy to buy it in the frozen section at most stores.  I used the veggies I had on hand for this stir-fry but you can use whatever you have in your fridge.  I love the combo of the sweet bell peppers with sautéed mushrooms and snow peas, but this dish is super versatile so pick your own combo.
