Vegetables that are Addictive

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.

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!!

    My best friend and I just asked one another this question! My answer(s): Grilled peppers & onions, sauteed broccoli rabe & garlic, or stir-fried broccoli

    I’m sorry to say, Katie, but i’m going to challenge you on the caramelized vegetables with ranch dressing 🙂 I hate ranch dressing and its flavor. Have you tried baked cauliflowers with some oil, salt, and pepper. It’ so good, but simple- I just eat it out of the pan.
