If you haven’t tried it yet, here's a super simple and flavourful way to prepare cauliflower rice and get a ton of veggies into your meal.

It's now on weekly rotation in our house. It's perfect as a side dish or as an after-school snack (especially if Asiyah gets her hands on them)!  Love the amazing blend of spices, it's a quick & delicious way to get in some healthy veggies.

I love it's  gorgeous golden colour and it also smells divine, with notes of fresh ginger, honey and cinnamon. I've been drinking a version of this milk since I was a little kid. Every time I got sick, my mom would bust out the "Haldi" milk, warm it up to just the right temperature, and I'd sit down on the couch, feeling very grown-up sipping it out of...
