Fried Cauliflower Bites

Cauliflower is one of my favorites vegetables to cook with. There is so many things you can do with it like cauliflower rice, cauliflower pizza, cauliflower gnocchi to name a few. These recipe is fried cauliflower bites which can be tossed in a buffalo sauce and made into “cauliflower wings” or just dip them in your favorite sauce like pesto or marinara sauce. This recipe uses NO eggs which means its made vegan & you can sub out the bread crumbs for GF bread crumbs and make it a vegan/GF dish. So delicious and so easy to make.

Guacamole

This recipes makes Guac for roughly two people with a little extra. Since it’s usually my boyfriend and I, I try to make what we’re actually going to eat as to not waste any food. If I’m having friends over, I usually double or triple it depending on how many people I’m having. It’s so easy to make and such a great snack to have in the fridge. Who doesn’t love some guac in their life! Be sure to tag me if you try this recipe, I’d love to see what you guys come up with. #cookitkelly_ @cookitkelly_
