Can vegetables be addictive??
According to the October issue of Vegnews magazine, frying is the only cooking method that can make a vegetable addictive.
The writer’s obviously never tried Cauliflower “Chicken” Nuggets.
My roommate has decided that recipe is her newest-favorite way to eat vegetables. On a recent trip to the grocery store, I found giant heads of cauliflower on sale for $1.99 each, so I turned them all into cauliflower “chicken” nuggets yesterday, and we couldn’t stop eating them!
Yes, veggies can definitely be addictive.
In a big, red bowl…
It’s like KFC, only better!
And now, for your viewing pleasure, photos of the other veggie lovers in my life:
As it turns out, Batman was very well-named. At night he likes to burrow under the covers and sleep at the bottom of the bed. Like a bat in a dark cave… I don’t know how he can breathe!
Question of the Day:
Are there any veggies you could eat all day long?
Roasted sweet potatoes? Raw carrot sticks? Or maybe you’re even addicted to salad? Did you know there exists a surefire way to make any vegetables addictive?
Completely cover them in Crazy-Good Ranch Dressing.
I challenge any veggie-hater to just try and resist a plate of caramelized, roasted veggies covered in that addictive ranch dressing. Just try.
Tomorrow: cookies!!
Definitely carrots. I typically go through 2-3 lbs. of them a week!
Agree! But I’ll go through at least that many in a day 😉 Oh how my juicer loves the carrots.
Have you ever turned orange from eating that many carrots? I am in love with them too, except I ODed on them a few months ago. I had been eating my favorite squash soup (lots of beta carotene) and lots of carrots for snack (even more beta carotene) and i literally turned an orangey yellow color. It was mostly on my palms and soles, but it was definitely noticeable. I guess the saying is true “You are what you eat!” If you want to see a picture check out my blog. 🙂
I was big on carrots for baby food apparently–there are a number of pictures of me with an orange nose.
Two years ago in winter I was orange all over for a few months, my skin literally had an orange tint to it. I guess eating too much kabocha/buttercup/red kuri squash plus carrots is just beta carotene overload. It went away when I stopped eating tons of carrots and squash in the spring/summer. 😀
But every winter, my palms get the orange tint again – I just love squash so much.
I’ve been craving leafy greens – any leafy greens for weeks now. I can’t stop eating them. In any preparation.
I suppose this is not a bad problem to have…. 🙂
I could easily eat baked sweet potato fries all day, every day. I’m on a spinach kick right now, too!
I could eat spinach all day long. I go through a container of spinach less than a week!
Got to try these. Could use a veggie addiction. Right now it’s ice cream and would love to move away to veggies!
Brussels sprouts! Especially roasted with coconut oil and cinnamon the way you posted about before 🙂 delish when fresh and maybe even better cold from the fridge the next day.
Mmmm me too!
Roasted green beans, roasted asparagus, and roasted carrots I could eat all day long 🙂 Whenever I make those items I’ll carefully tuck away the leftovers after I serve myself but before I start eating my dinner so I’m not tempted to go back for seconds/thirds/fourths and give myself a stomach ache!
What yumminess do you have drizzled over these guys?
Dino bbq sauce! https://lett-trim.today/2010/08/17/another-saucy-product-review/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
Thank you!
I absolutely love salad. I went to a summer program at a college where they had this really awesome salad bar with like, the greatest assortment of veggies ever. I was there for three weeks and got an awesome salad literally everyday for lunch (except one day in which I got soup, and deeply regretted the loss of a meal I could have had salad). That college (Penn) is my first choice now… partially because of the salads.
I go to Penn! (I assume you are referring to UPenn). The salad bars are pretty awesome. Let me know if you have any questions!
I am absolutely addicted to salad! I can, and often do, eat it at every meal! Lettuc wrap for breakfast.. bowl of salad for lunch, and salad with my dinner! I even ave salad on my soup.. I can easily go through a large iceberg in 2 days, and I love spinach and rocket (arugula). I love my veggies just slightly cooked so they still have their crunch, or raw, and covered in homemade spicy sauce amd toasted seeds – Yum!
