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!!
Hey Katie! We tried your truffle pie the other night (with almonds) and it was super good! MAde a few adjustments though cuz the first time, it had a REALLY bad aftertaste. I added some honey which helped a bit. Added almond milk, and that made a huge difference! No one would believe that it’s raw! Thanks for a good starting point-came up with a recipe that works for me 🙂 Have a great day
p.s.- crust was sooooo good
I love broccoli and carrots both raw and cooked. They are my veggie staples. The cauliflower looks delicious!
haha, I love stirfrying cauliflower in a bit of coconut oil until crispy, then dousing them in sea salt. It’s like eating french fries! I also eat way too many freakin steamed brussels sprouts for my own good. Usually plain, but I also love covering them in ketchup, sea salt, and Frank’s Red Hot 😀
I think I could eat watermelon radishes all day! They are full of wonderfully crispy sweet goodness and they are probably the most gorgeous vegetable I’ve ever seen! It’s a shame they aren’t more well known or widely available in North America. I’m about to start growing my own. 🙂
I am going to google them right now! I’d never heard of them before your comment!
They are FANTASTIC! Oh, I can’t say enough. I’ve never been so excited about a vegetable. I hope you can find some to try. 🙂
Hey Katie, these look great… I LOVE cauliflower! I cannot get the actual recipe link to open, however. Is it listed anywhere else? I can’t wait to try them, thanks!!
Ugh I am so sorry! And so grateful you let me know… I’m not sure how I messed that link up, but I’m really glad you told me before I’d left it up all day like that! Hopefully it’s fixed now. This should be the correct link: https://lett-trim.today/2011/01/25/cauliflower-chicken-nuggets/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
Hooray! Now it works 🙂 Please don’t apologize, I can’t imagine how many things you have to do to keep this website up and running, and you’re fantastic at it! Thanks Katie!
I am a really good veggie eater. In fact it would be easier to say the veggie I avoid = eggplant. Strange huh?
I am one of those big salad people that packs them with whatever veggies I have around.
And thank you for the cute photos of your sweet dogs! Loved them. 🙂
I think I could eat most veggies all day long! Roasted anything is SO GOOD, especially Brussels, but I love, love, love daikon radish lately. I chop it up in matchsticks, toss it with EVOO + vinegar + salt + pepper; I have a hard time not eating all of it in one day and the root is the size of an arm, haha.
Roasted anything are my favorite! Brussel sprouts, eggplant, any squash…just drizzle olive oil and rosemary, oh and toss in a bit of red onion, and I can’t resist!
I’ll crave vegetables at times, but I definitely don’t find any veggies particularly addicting. Cookies are a whole different story!
Sugar snap peas are addictively good and perfectly crunchy…love those things. Actually when I’m in the right mood, anything from broccoli to brussels sprouts, just lightly steamed, can hit the spot in a perfect way. Or when roasted just right, so good!
