Buffalo Cauliflower Bowl with Cashew Ranch
Growing up in Western NY we liked our buffalo wings, to be honest, we liked everything Buffalo, from dips to sandwiches to fries… you get the idea. When we adopted a vegan lifestyle, we naturally jumped on the buffalo cauliflower bandwagon. We loved it every way we tried it, and we loved it every time! This time we wanted to give it another twist and make it into a grain bowl. Naturally, after a 65-degree February day full of fun, we wanted something quick!
