We like our meals served with a whopping side of nostalgia. Dishes that mimic the meals our grandmothers and their grandmothers cooked. And although we’re not sure if grandma was going out to the garden to chop up some cauliflower for rice (although grandmas have plenty of tricks up their sleeves that we still can’t put our fingers on), Mexican rice is a side dish that brings nostalgia to the forefront. By subbing cauliflower for rice, we hope this will be a recipe that you and Grandma can enjoy alike.
