Spicy Cauliflower Stir Fry

Last week was a little bit nuts and this week is going to be just about the same! We are in the process of selling our house and have a contract, so we've been taking care of some of the issues from the inspection. We had an electrician out to put GFI outlets in a couple places that needed them - well, I had to have the electrician and eventually the power company out last week for a different reason! It was right after lunch and I was getting ready to go shower when there was this loud bang/cracking noise from the kitchen area! I stood up and noticed smoke coming out of the outlet by my couch and there was a hot electrical smell. I immediately pulled everything out of the surge protector. I went into the kitchen to investigate where I noticed none of the lights on the surge protectors in there were on and the GFI outlets reset buttons were sticking out. After a few minutes, I made my way to the breaker box where lo and behold, a couple breakers had tripped. The surge protector my washing machine is plugged into had black marks around it.

The electrician came out first and tried to figure out why this happened; he said there was nothing inside the house that he thinks could have caused this, that it must have been a surge from out of the house. So, he personally called the power company, personally went into town to talk to them and had them come out. So now, we have some box reading the voltage coming into the house. They'll come back this week to gather information and hopefully figure out why this happened!

We've also offered and been accepted on our next house! We are so happy and excited! I'll talk more about that another time though...still lots to do before it's OFFICIAL!

For such stressful (the bad and the good kind of stress!) times, you need something yummy and easy to eat. Enter: Spicy Cauliflower Stir Fry. This is a recipe I got from the Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond! You can see her original recipe here. I love this recipe because it is super easy, super yummy and lots of healthy! I like it served over Jasmine or Basmati rice the best, with extra Sriracha on top!

Spicy Cauliflower Stir Fry

Makes 4 servings (though, for me it's 2 servings...)

Ingredients

1 whole cauliflower

2 tsp. vegetable oil (or whatever oil you cook with)

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbsp. soy sauce

Juice of 1 lime

2 whole green onions, sliced

1 Tbsp sriracha, plus extra

Directions

1. Break up your cauliflower into large florets, wash, then break up into smaller florets.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and garlic. Cook until garlic is fragrant, then add in your cauliflower. Allow to cook until the cauliflower is browned up, then turn the heat to low.

3. Stir in your soy sauce, lime juice and half of the green onions. Allow to cook for about 3-4 minutes, then stir in the sriracha sauce. 

4. Serve! Enjoy over rice or noodles, or by itself! Sprinkle some of the left over green onion on top and squeeze a little extra sriracha sauce on top
