Cauliflower Rice with Adzuki Beans
Cauliflower was always my least favorite vegetable! Not sure if it is the smell, but somehow I never liked it. Ever since I started eating healthier, I started incorporating cauliflower into my meals, first in smoothies, then in salads, and then I figure out that it can be used instead of regular rice! This is how this amazing Cauliflower Rice with Adzuki Beans recipe came up.
