Cauliflower wings seem to be all the rage right now - and for a good reason! They are great for vegetarians, crispy, crunchy, and naturally low-carb! One of my favorite kinds is garlic Parmesan. There are many ways to cook this. You could roast the cauliflower for some added crunch before coating it in the sauce, or bake them in the sauce. I chose to bake them so the cauliflower could absorb the flavors of this cheesy sauce. If you want extra crispiness, you can broil the "wings" after ...

About me: my name is Michelle. I'm 30 years old and have struggled with my weight my entire life. Growing up heavy was really hard on me.

Keto Tater Tots

Keto Tater Tots

April 20, 2015 by 22 Comments

Tater Tots were an obsession of mine as a kid. Ever since my mom used to buy them, they'd always be requested by me in place of mashed potatoes. They're crispy, they're crunchy, and they're just plain good. Being that I'm keto now, I decided to take it upon myself to delve into the creativity of my childhood and re-create this favorite of mine with keto tater tots. You definitely won't miss the potato here, and unlike many other cauliflower goods - you can't actually taste much of the ...
