Chilly Gobi/ Dry Cauliflower Fry

 With the continuous snowfall (DC metropolitan area receiving 6-8 inches) and schools cancelled, I wanted to make some hot delicious food for the family to cheer up. After dinner, the kids are now tucked in and here I and my better half are watching "we're the millers" and getting ready for one more snow day!
