Poke bowls are my favorite because you can put almost any and everything in it...and it still tastes really good. Recently, I've been on a keto diet and I've reaped all the benefits...except eating sweets and rice. I love sweets and I love rice. Using cauliflower as a substitute for rice, gave me the satisfaction I love from rice, without having cheat on my diet.

Being a pescatarian has motivated me to create tasty and healthy meals. I get everything I want and need in one bowl. The salmon mixed with the cucumber, scallions, red pepper flakes, lemon, lime, and rice vinegar, are absolutely delicious. It's the perfect summer-time appetizer or meal.
