SPICY CAULIFLOWER STIR-FRY
In this recipe adapted from the Pioneer Woman, we substitute traditional Siracha, which usually contains preservatives and sugar, with Frank’s Hot Sauce.

TERIYAKI TEMPEH

To serve over cauliflower rice, use 1/2 cup of cooked rice and 1/2 cup of the cooked broccoli.

Everyone loves a great orange sauce to pour over chicken, beef or even some vegetables, but it can be quite difficult to find an orange sauce that doesn’t contain high-glycemic orange juice or orange marmalade containing artificial sweeteners. This recipe strikes a great balance and is full of flavor. It has an Asian flair, but would still be great served on the side with a non-Asian meal. It especially pairs well with dark meat chicken or turkey. Do not salt food prior to cooking if you plan to use this sauce, as it contains sodium in the coconut aminos.
ASIAN SESAME DRESSING
This 5-minute salad dressing is simple, tangy and so delicious! Not only is it great on any type of salad, but it’s also good as a marinade, sprinkled on many types of vegetables or even pouring over grilled chicken.
