My philosophy is simple: I believe what we consume is everything—from the foods we put in our body, to the ideas we feed for our minds, to the connections we have with others. Everything gives you energy, and what you take in determines how your life will be. My goal is to champion a healthy lifestyle that is simple, accessible, and gives your body what it needs to fuel your best life possible.

Game Day Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Salad
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 15 min
Ingredients:
- (1) 12 oz bag cauliflower florets
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 2 tbsp buffalo sauce
- ½ cup celery, chopped
- ½ cup grated carrots
- 2 tbsp tahini
- ½ clove garlic, grated or minced fine
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 4 scallions, chopped
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 F. On a rimmed sheet pan toss together the cauliflower florets, buffalo sauce, salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Set aside.
In the bottom of a large bowl, mix together tahini, buffalo sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic. This will be pretty thick, slowly add water to the tahini mixture, combining completely before adding more until it turns lighter in color and comes out to a thick vinaigrette consistency. Toss in the cauliflower, celery, carrot, chickpeas and scallions and serve. Chill if desired or eat at room temperature.
Other Ways To Prepare This Meal:
Plant-based: Omit the chicken.
Quick prep: Buy already grated carrots.
Kid-friendly: Roast chickpeas at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, then pair with celery and their favorite fruit, cheeses, or nuts to make a snack plate.
