Caulie Rice
One of the main reasons you come here is for healthy foodie inspiration. And I'm not surprised given that each of us make approx 200 decisions

We're all busy health seekers and I'm always looking for ways to educate on how to have it all...glowing health, vibrant energy + full lives. ❤
Tonight I "riced" some organic cauliflower while I had some proteins cooking up {salsa, kale + black beans for the hubs and wild whitefish for the girls} and thought - this is too good not to share with you:
We're all getting pretty savvy about what's up with gluten

Caulie is...
* Detoxifying due to it's high sulphur content

* Anti-inflammatory due to it's high Vit K content. Chronic inflammation can significantly increase our risk of cancers & other chronic diseases
Caulie for the win.
