Packed with wonderful flavors and tons of vitamins and minerals, this warm, comforting casserole is an simple to make, weeknight meal.
So, how many of you that made resolutions are still following through with them?
I know it’s only January 11, but many people have already stopped by now!
I personally don’t believe in making resolutions because many people feel overwhelmed and give up, which in turn makes them feeling bad once again. I like making both short and long term goals each year instead. I make them realistic and attainable. For example, instead of saying “I want to lose 30 lbs” I say “I want to eat more vegetables each day”. My goals are more specific and realistic.
Many of you would like to eat healthier in the new year and that’s where I come in. I love sharing easy, healthy, delicious recipes with you and I feel so lucky that you are all here.
This casserole is one of those easy one dish meals that you can keep reheating and eat it for a few days! That is HUGE for a busy mom like me…
This velvety smooth casserole is made without those processed creamy soups that are loaded with preservatives and sodium. Trust me guys, you will not miss it one bit. This is way healthier and made with all whole ingredients. So for all of you that made goals or resolutions to eat more whole foods, this one is for you!
So that’s it, this isn’t fancy and it doesn’t use any crazy ingredients. If you don’t have almond flour and you don’t need it to be gluten-free, you can simply use any flour you’d like.

I saw this on Instagram and I got excited! This looks SO good! And I agree about realistic resolutions. Saying your going to lose a certain amount in a month is setting yourself up for failure! I’m trying to workout 3-4 days a week and have greens with every meal!
Hi Amanda! Those are perfect resolutions! I hope you like it!
This looks so tasty and I love that it’s full of real-food ingredients! It would be the perfect side dish for just about anything!
This is such a warm and comforting dinner idea! Love how easy this is and still full of flavor too. Just what you want from a comfort food dish!
Thanks Taylor!
Lauren, you know I love everything you make. But this may be a new favorite!
Thank you Suzy!
Oh my gosh! Yes, I don’t believe in making resolutions either!! If I do make them I always break them too early! I just try to eat good all year. This casserole looks amazing and I can’t wait to make it!
Thanks Angie!
Your goals sound like good ones! And this casserole looks awesome, too. 🙂
What a great casserole, I love the ingredients in this!
Apologies if I have overlooked this information, but what should the oven be set to for baking the dish?
Hello Annika! I am so sorry, I just updated it to say 350 degrees! Thank you! I hope you like it!
Do you think this could be made using a bag of frozen riced cauliflower? Would you heat the cauliflower first or add it frozen to the casserole?
Hi Katie! Yes I am sure you can use frozen rice cauliflower. Just defrost it and follow the instructions. I hope you love it!
What a healthy, filling, & delicious casserole! Love all the vitamins packed in it & the idea that it’s low-carb, makes it even more appealing!
I have to agree, Natalie!
Yum! This looks amazing and so tasty! I can’t wait to give this a try!
Enjoy!
So hearty & tasty!! Broccoli & rice are my favorite together. Cauliflower rice has been my go-to lately, for a healthier option.
Glad you like it too!
