Ingredient Notes For This One Skillet-Sausage And Veggies With Cauliflower Rice:
- Sausage – The brand I love and use is by Charcutnuvo. I like to use the organic chicken apple sausage for this recipe. It contains clean ingredients, tastes delicious and you can feel good about eating it.
- Veggies – If you can, try to buy all organic, especially when it comes to the bell peppers, squash and zucchini because they are on the Dirty Dozen list.
- Cauliflower Rice – I use fresh rice as much as possible, but frozen will work here as well. If you do use fresh, it will require less cook time. So just be sure to not overcook it or it will get mushy.
- Herbs – This meal can be eaten with or without fresh herbs. The herbs just liven it up a bit more. So, if you want to add herbs, feel free to try fresh cilantro, chives or parsley.
Storage Tips For This Sausage And Veggies With Cauliflower Rice:
- FYI: This Clear Glass Bowl with Lid Set of 12, from Crate & Barrel, is what I use to store any leftovers in. This meal is perfect for meal prep!

Great quick and healthy meal. I actually like to make this up and put it in the fridge at the beginning of the week. I’ll heat some up each morning and put a couple of fried eggs over it!
I love hearing this! Thank you so much for sharing. 🙂
