For people who aren’t willing to sacrifice their healthy lifestyle for a holiday, or are on restricted diets for health reasons can now rejoice! Finally, a healthy alternative to everyone’s favorite Thanksgiving dish: the cauliflower edition of stuffing! With all the same flavors and textures as if it just came out of freshly roasted turkey, one won’t miss the high carbohydrate and calorie content of breading. Also, one will be adding MORE nutrient-dense veggies to their Thanksgiving feast than they ever would have thought. Honestly, that’s a win-win in my book, and it leaves more room for pumpkin pie…
