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!!
KALE!! I am completely and totally addicted: marinated kale salad, kale chips, the occasional leaf of kale straight from the bag – it’s a delicious addiction. 🙂
I could eat sliced cucumber sprinkled with salt all the time. Or baked potatoes (with olive oil or butter, I’m not picky). Or tomatoes swished around in a bit of olive oil and sprinkled with salt. Actually, I’d probably just eat salt. Yeah, I’ll be dead of heart disease when I’m forty.
I think pretty much any veggie in roasted form is addictive for me. I am a particular fan of the roasted versions of green beans, brussel sprouts, and cauliflower.
I love roasted brussel sprouts and could definitely eat them all day!
I always tend to eat Way way too many veggies… and trust me, you can over-load…lol My favorites would depend on my mood but most since most of my ‘diet’ consists of them I’m constantly trying new ways to savor them all… right now… cherry tomatoes… heated for about 20 seconds and the juices burst in your mouth… soo delicious! 🙂
Addictive? your bean pie… lol and because I tend to like to tinker with recipes, I have used a sweetener and cut the sweet part in half, with less chocolate chips simply because I have layered the cooked filling in between sugar-free low fat, non cook chocolate macaroon layers and let me tell you… does a number on my PMS cravings hahahaha
Keep the recipes coming! Love them all! 🙂
Carrots. Roasted Cauliflower. Celery sticks. Cucumbers. Green Smoothies. I love them all (especially roasted cauliflower).
I can eat just about any veggie all the time. I just don’t like raw onions. My favorite are grape tomatoes though. I go through a whole pack in one sitting.
THESE ARE TO DIE FOR.
I would have never guessed, but roasted kale is amazing
Sugar snap peas! I could eat them in large amounts every day of my life 🙂
I love carrots, all salad greens, mushrooms, and Brussels sprouts! I peel and dice the carrots and put in a big container in the freezer to use them as a crunchy “cereal”. Sounds crazy to some people, but I do the same with apples and will mix dry roasted nuts (pistachios are amazing) with cinnamon, nutmeg, some stevia, and any type of milk or Greek yogurt.
I just love eating with a spoon, and this is a healthy way to do it! I also enjoy just microwave steaming Brussels sprouts and eating them like popcorn. Pretty sure I’ll be making roasted cauliflower now…
I could eat and eat and eat butternut squash and spaghetti squash ALL DAY LONG!!!!!! It’s so hard for me to stop, yikes… I have some spaghetti squash in the oven and I just want to eat it all up right now! LOL but I MUST RESTRAIN!
I like vegetables, but I don’t think there are any that I am really addicted to or could eat a lot of every day. I probably like broccoli or salad the best, followed closely by spinach and carrots. Basically I just combine all of those ingredients to make a big salad, along with some garbanzo beans and a little bit of Italian cheese- it is so good! I want to start LOVING vegetables like many of you do, but it just hasn’t hit me yet. Hopefully my palette grows more as I continue to age and I start liking vegetables more. I’m a much bigger fruit lover for sure.
What is your favorite vegetable?
Broccoli… I think. It’s hard to choose! 🙂
I was totally into a salad kick a few months ago lol!
The writer of that article hasn’t tried the following recipe either, because they’re not fried and they are so ridiculously addictive it’s kind of sad. I dare you to try them and disagree:

Random question, but as a vegan do you feed your dogs vegetable based dog food? Is that good for them?
