TODAY'S DISH: Buffalo Cauliflower Wings with Ranch Sauce from Hot For Food
For the past 5 years I have participated in Vegan Mofo. It is a month where bloggers write about everything vegan. You don't have to be vegan but you blog vegan. This year, being the preggo that I am, I decided to have the Baby Bump Cravings theme. It is a great way for me to meet my cravings and participate. I plan on making some recipes up and just wingy it. I also plan on using inspiration from other vegan bloggers, recipe books and good old pinterest.
First up, I have been dying to try cauliflower wings. Recently I came upon the Hot For Food blog. It is run by Lauren Toyota, a Canadian MuchMusic VJ and her partner. Her photos are stellar and just make me salivate. When I saw this recipe I just had to try.
I really did love the taste but I also made a few minor mistakes which I will improve upon next time. First, I coated the cauliflower bites too much with the batter. It didn't crisp as I would have liked. Parchment paper is also a must. I had a lot of burned spots on my baking dish.
Lastly, with regards to the ranch sauce, I suggest soaking your cashews overnight rather than the minimum 3 hours for a creamy taste.
All in all, it tasted amazing!
If you are interested in saying hello or have any questions please comment in my comments section. I really enjoy talking about veganism and meeting new people in the online community.
Happy MoFoing!
These look amazing! I recently went from vegetarian to vegan when I realized that eggs and dairy make my baby's eczema much worse. The internet has been my saviour, and cashews are my new best friend. I'm excited for Vegan MOFO!
