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 roasted sweet potatoes! Put a plate in front of me, and I won’t be able to stop!
I love, Love, LOVE roasted sweet potatoes. I roast them at 350 for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours (until they caramelize) then add a spot of butter, pecans, and pumpkin pie spice. It’s like eating pie, but so much better for you. Oh, yeah!
We seem to love cruciferous vegetables in this house. Sometimes a giant bowl of steamed broccoli with soy sauce is all I need.
1) I had never seen this recipe before and thought it was new at first, and didn’t understand where the recipe was til I saw the link (which was SO obnoxious to click by the way, jk)
2) I always want to see new recipes and check back religiously, and I’ll admit I’m sad when I don’t see one, but not in a “OMG YER DOIN’ YER BLOG WRONG” way, I just really want to know wtf you’ve conjured up next…
3) It upsets me that someone who obviously reads your blog so frequently (Q….also, way to hide behind one letter for your rant, btw) would be so rude in a comment to you. Obviously s/he knows the majority of these recipes so must follow you fairly frequently and I think THAT is quite rude and uh, tacky….
keep it up, and I will have to try this…..
pleaaaaase give me some healthy new recipes to satisfy my fatty cravings though, with food that won’t continue to make me fat.
<3 you chocolate covered katie, share your blog with everyone I meet.
Thank you so much, Jenn. I do try to post new recipes as often as I can… but I will only post the ones I think are worthy of posting. I’d rather do a few new recipe posts per week that I really, truly believe are awesome than one mediocre one every single day, just to get a recipe up. You all are worth better than that!
tooootally understand, I didn’t mean to sound bossy, hah, I just think you are incredibly creative, you’ve turned me onto coconut milk and baked oatmeal and I can’t wait to see what else you have to offer.
also, feel free to email me any recipes you think are duds, because I bet they’re delicous 😛
not in a demanding way, I also haven’t tried half of what you have, and I need to, like I said before, I just love to see what’s next… 🙂
also, ppppppps…..
(sorry, for being so add) I bet sriracha would be bom dot com on this.
I love veggies!!! One if my favorite ways I had them was on new yrs. I don’t eat meat so we always have some appetizers I love to go along with the meaty ones. We took broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and put pancko breadcrumbs on them and naked them. It was amazing and so simple. My favorite veggie is hard to pick, but it would be the sweet potato. 🙂 broccoli is a close second.
Okay, I am going to try this. I have LOVED everything I have made of yours so far. I am not a veggie lover, which has always been a problem. I can eat about any veg in a soup or stew, but otherwise, not so much.
But I am going to try them! 🙂 I would love to find a new veggie to love.
Baked kale chips with just about any topping one would put on popcorn. I could eat kale chips all day long forever! 🙂
I could eat sweet potato ALL day, actually pretty sure i could eat any roasted veggie, all day – carrots and pumpkin are a favourite too!
