Amazingly Tasty General Tso Cauliflower!

This week we want to try a meatless Monday heart healthy recipe. Styled from the “General Tso Chicken” recipe we hope you try this heart-healthy alternative. It is well-documented that cauliflower regulates blood cholesterol levels. These studies point to potential cardiovascular benefits from consumption of cooked cauliflower.

I was shocked how tasty this really is. Best to be made fresh at home although there are frozen versions of this amazing dish. Try this with your family tonight!
