Howdy, chocolate truffles!
Yesterday, I tried to make healthy chocolate brownies.
Emphasis on the word tried. Luckily, dinner made up for it:
I am in love with this: Bread-Free Vegan Stuffing.
I make it at least twice a month, and I’ve even started cooking a double batch now (to yield four large servings instead of two). I bought a giant pan just for that recipe.
Along with the stuffing: whole-wheat toast and roast cauliflower with bbq sauce.
Lately I cannot keep my hands away from roasted cauliflower. It’s just so good, especially dipped in the barbecue sauce! Reminds me of chicken nuggets, which is weird because I never really liked those. I just liked the barbecue sauce.
Cauliflower Nuggets
(easiest recipe ever)
- raw cauliflower
- roasting pan
- optional: barbecue sauce
Whatcha do: Cut the cauliflower and spread out on the roasting pan. Turn the oven on to 400 degrees (no need to pre-heat) and stick the pan in there for 30-50 minutes. Then set the oven to “high broil” and broil 2-3 more minutes, depending on how crispy you like it. (I usually turn the oven completely off after this and leave the cauliflower inside for another 20 or so minutes.) Serve with your favorite bbq sauce or ranch dressing, for dipping.
Really good with Crazy-Good Ranch Dressing.
I make the same sort of recipe with my cauliflower, but I cut mine into thin strips (it’s actually really time consuming to try to cut the little buggers), I’m going to try your way. Love your easy to make recipes. BTW, is there an easy way to find the recipes on your blog that are not under the recipes tab? Your old blog (chocolate covered vegan) used to have a list down the right side that made it easier to find.
LOL I have way way too many recipes now to list them all on the side. But if you’re looking for a particular one, or a particular ingredient, you can always use the search bar and search in quotations. (For example: “collard greens”) Or you can leave a comment and I’ll try to find the link for you. I really wish there were an easier way to organize them all; my most recent ones aren’t even under the recipe tab yet :-?.
Lots of sweets/ ice cream can definitely have an ill effect on my tummy, but I eat them anyway!
I love the cauliflower idea! I will definitely be putting this in the meal plan. We have done breaded and fried cauliflower, the only way I eat cauliflower and it is soooooo good, but so not healthy. I am trying to go gluten free and dairy free so this is a great alternative to the fried breaded way!
Holy vegetables!! That plate looks delish! Great idea pairing the roasted cauli with bbq!
Oh my word, I always have way too much of a dish I make which is essentially cooking garlic, carrots, zucchini, capsicum, cherry tomatoes, lentils (and anything else that’s lonely in the fridge) in a lemon juice. It’s just so good!
Good luck with the fudge, you’ll get there!
I always overdo it on the veggies, that’s for sure! Whenever I have a large plate of veggies, I always try to make sure and pair it with a carb so my stomach doesn’t hate me.
I love roasted cauliflower!!
I HAVE to try that stuffing of yours! It looks SO good! 😀
I am a cookie monster! When I make vegan cookies, I just know I’m gonna eat too many and feel sick afterwards! Worth it though! 😛
Overdoing it on the veggies is something I never regret! 🙂
Oh good lord, I love the cauliflower idea! I’ve had it roasted a few nights in a row – sautéed in garlic and smoked paprika before throwing it in it in the oven – maybe tomorrow I’ll have a smidgeon left to try the BBQ sauce idea!
Does eating too many coconut melties and roasted veggies count? If so, then yes, I’ve definitely been there with my tummy not being a happy camper. There’s only so much coconut butter the tummy can handle, quite unfortunately! 🙂
Ah, too true 😕
Ah I definitely DO eat beyond full sometimes (a lot! lol). Usually veggies, so yummy!
but then I do feel bad sometimes, cause I know it isn’t great for my tummy…
but anyway your fudge looks amazing! coconut butter is the best 😀 oh so yummy
