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!!
oh this is so creative! I definitely want to try this!
I know this comes as a shock, but I really love me some broccoli! I also could eat unlimited amounts of carrots, mushrooms, and zucchini.
I am totally addicted to roasted veggies!!! Squash and sweet potato is my favorite!!! HMMMM
Wow these look GOOD!! I’ve been meaning to try them for a while, actually. Just haven’t gotten round to using up all the veg I have here before I get any more – yeah, there’s that much :S – not that I mind one bit 🙂 !! Ohh, I will definitely put cauliflower at the top of my next shopping list!!
As for other addictive veggies, I’m a sweet potato girl!! Sprinkle on lots of spices and just wait for that caramel-ly smell to waft from the oven .. then dig in – and I may or may not have done this ALL DAY…. 😉 .
Ohh, and I have even tried sweet potatoes in my oatmeal – check it out, it’s soooo good!!:

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).
