Cauliflower Buffalo Bites (Whole30)
With football season right around the corner (Go Vikings!), I figured there’s no better time than now to share a healthy Whole30-friendly appetizer recipe. While I’m not a ‘superfan’ of football by any means, I’m always up for some good food, a lazy(ish) Sunday and quality time with the hubby and/or friends! And damn, don’t these look delicious!?
Jess and I plan out our blog schedule a few months in advance but we always leave room a little room and flexibility for instant inspiration. This recipe was one of them, created totally on a whim. It was one of those, “lets see what I can create with what I have on hand” kind of a recipe. When ya live a good distance from the nearest grocery store, you get creative with what you have on hand!
Side note: did you know I live 2 hours from the nearest Whole Foods and 1 1/2 hours from the nearest Trader Joe’s? Yup, that’s right! I’m living proof that you don’t need a Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s to eat healthy. In fact, a small-town grocery store and a few farmers will do.
