Jicama & Cauliflower Buffalo Bites

 

 

I am obsessed with my ‘Buffalo Cauliflower Steak‘ recipe. Because I could eat it every day I decided to try to make it even healthier without compromising taste.

How I’ve changed the recipe:

• I used half the amount of hot sauce cause the first one is reallyyyy hot. You can leave it with the full amount though. All depends on your desired heat level.
• I reduced the amount of flour used.
• I replaced the sprouted spelt flour with coconut and garbanzo bean flour.
• I adjusted the spices a bit.
• I tried baking jicama in the buffalo batter!
• I added a vegan yogurt sauce to dip it in. This also helps with the heat 🙂

I personally loveddd how this turned out. I ate the entire cauliflower by myself and didn’t have to have any guilt about it.

You can check out the original recipe here to see which you might prefer or if you want to try making something somewhere in the middle of these two recipes.

Now on to the new version!

Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Steak

So this IS the best dinner I have eaten in months. I feel like I could eat it every day it was so good.

This recipe makes Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower. You can use one head of cauliflower to make ‘Steak‘ and ‘Taco Meat.’ Cut your cauliflower length wise to make steak slices, and the rest of the head into florets for your taco meat.

You will first make your buffalo sauce and then mix your cauliflower into that.

Personally I like my Buffalo Cauliflower Steak plain because it was so good on it’s own I didn’t want anything else in my bite. However, making it into a layered sandwich sounds pretty good too 🙂

I recommend all of my recipes of course!

But please, do not miss out on making this one!!!

Curried Butternut Squash Power Bowl

Well hi guys!

Happy Sunday. Who is doing some food prep today?!

I feel like Sundays are my wellness days. You don’t have to rush a work out. You can make a healthy breakfast at home, spend time with pets & friends, maybe go for a hike & even do some food prep for the week!

I’ve been out of curry for about a month & finally remembered to buy it at the store today. Is anyone else horrible at using their shopping list at the grocery store?!

I also had half of a butternut squash leftover so wanted to make a crockpot with both these ingredients for some food prep.

And that’s how we landed with this ‘Curried Butternut Squash Power Bowl.’ Enjoy!
