Did you know you can swap mashed cauliflower for mashed potatoes, or use cauliflower instead of rice, or even as a pizza crust? It’s incredible how versatile cauliflower is—everything can imitate it, but cauliflower never gets a glow-up.

There’s a reason for that: it’s not endorphin-inducing indulgence enough for the holidays. So let’s keep it real—life’s too short for a wanna-be potato dish. Enjoy the spud’s buttery goodness.

However, I have a swap that won’t hinder your holiday feast or taste buds.

Swap out those Christmas cards and gift an e-book instead.

For about the same price as a holiday or Christmas card (sometimes less than a card), you can give a lasting gift that brings hours of entertainment long after the holidays.

E-books are super convenient, budget-friendly, and perfect for all the readers in your life—and don’t forget to treat yourself to a few books as well.

Whether your family and friends love heartwarming romances, exciting mysteries, or suspenseful tales, there’s an eBook just for them. They can read on the go, making them a fantastic gift choice.

Let’s celebrate the magic of stories and the creativity of authors by supporting indie or local writers. It’s a great way to show you care while highlighting some fantastic talents in literature.
