I recently returned from a wonderful sunny vacation down south. I’m feeling completely reenergized.

Although, I really wish I could have brought some of the hot, sunny weather back home with me (how can it possibly be this cold and grey in August?!).  Instead, I’m sharing something with you that comes pretty close.

During my stay, I filled up on guacamole every day. Since I know you love the stuff as much as I do, I’m sharing a simple + killer recipe with you today you’re going to want to try.

The best part? The guacamole is just ONE of the must-try components in today’s recipe episode for my cauliflower “rice” burrito bowl.

Why the quotation marks?

Check out today’s video to find out.
