Easy Vegan Holiday Side Dish

As a nursing school student, my time is somewhat limited at the moment. That means I'm all about preparing nutritious meals for my family as fast as possible. That's where Big Mountain Foods comes in with their Cauli Crumble Veggie Grounds! I'm really happy I discovered this; plant-based protein means it fills you up AND the taste is delicious without any junky ingredients added.

This side dish can also serve it as a main; this holiday season you better believe I'm bringing this combo to events with me to ensure I can always eat too--having food allergies mean bringing my own food is a must!
