Veggie Buffalo "Chicken"


Well; its Super Bowl Sunday.   And boy would I LOVE to send the husband to BW3's for about 50$ worth of wings; but that really wouldn't pay off with all the hard work I've been putting in since Christmas.   So when I saw this on Pinterest, I HAD to try it!   
Ingredients: 

  • 1 head of cauliflower (cut up)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1 cup franks red hot
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Ranch or celery for serving

Directions:

  • Preheat your oven to 450.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, flour and garlic salt.  
  • Carefully place the cauliflower in the bowl and lightly toss to coat with the mixture.
  • Place the cauliflower in a shallow baking dish and bake for about 15-18 minutes.
  • Melt the butter and mix with the franks.
  • Remove the hot cauliflower from the oven and pour the buffalo sauce mixture over it, stirring gently to coat.
  • Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake another 5-8 minutes.    
  • Cool and serve immediately.


This will only get 2Stars because my children won't eat buffalo anything :-)  Well the baby would but I just don't go there!  

Also; I really HATE cooked cauliflower, but I LOVE buffalo.   I found that I really liked this except for the smell.   Because that reminded me I hate cooked cauliflower.   So keep that in mind if your picky like me :-)   If you didn't smell it; you'd probably not even know it was cauliflower!

MN Wild Rice Burgers

After a recent trip to Duluth, where I had the BEST wild rice burger at Fitgers Brewhouse, I came home and decided to try my hand at it.    I googled and found this recipe that even MENTIONED Fitgers version, so I knew I had to start there!   I started off by cooking up a batch of wild rice.   I'd say it made about 3 cups cooked. While the wild rice was cooking, I sautéed up some minced garlic, diced celery and diced onions in a tablespoon of olive oil.  Until they were translucent.  As an after though I threw these in a food chopper because I knew chunks of these items in a burger would turn my kids off! Once that was done, I mixed my wild rice and sautéed veggie mix together.   Next I threw in 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs.  The recipe above called for Asiago cheese, I however could not find any and instead used shredded parmesan.   I seasoned the mix with sea salt, crushed black pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika and caye...

Taco Soup

 My blood, sweat and tears went into this one.  Its a toughy.  Okay; skip the sweat, the blood and tears just came from the butter knife I used to chop up the chicken.  WHO manages to slice open a finger with a BUTTER KNIFE?!  Oh, yeah, MOI! Other than that event; this may have been the easiest thing I've cooked in months.     The hardest part of this recipe was the fact that Fareway foods did not carry green enchilada sauce, and I had to decide what to do instead.   Here is the cast of characters: 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 (15 oz.) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 (14.5 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes, drained 1 (15.25 oz.) can sweet corn, drained --Oh ha, you don't see this in my picture!??  Silly me; its certainly NOT because I hate corn.  Nope....must have just been missing.    1 (12.5 oz.) can white chicken breast, drained 1 (10.75 oz.) can cream of chicken soup 1 (10 oz.) c...
