Butter Cauliflower Bowls
Indian butter chicken is made healthier + heartier with nutrient-loaded cauliflower! Just as creamy and flavorful, if not better!
FINALLY!
I feel like I’m somewhat on track with this new year, new you situation. I’m just 2 weeks late. Sorry, but the red pepper shells was just too good of an opportunity to pass up.
But that’s okay. It’s all about balance, right?
So it’s one night of the creamy red pepper shells, and then another night of this utterly creamy butter cauliflower bowl.
Balance, balance, balance.
And you don’t have to feel guilty about these cauliflower bowls at all.
Cauliflower is a nutrient-packed powerhouse. So don’t feel an ounce of guilt when you balance this all out with perfectly toasted naan, sopping up all that sauce.
I mean, we just agreed. It’s all balance, no?
