Buffalo-Style Cauliflower!

If you know me, I love me some hot wings!! Unfortunately, it's not appropriate to eat them everyday, so here's a fun way to spice up your next meal, Buffalo-Style!

Start with one head of cauliflower, chop up into desired size, and then put into an oven safe dish:

Next, drizzle with your choice of hot wing sauce:

I tried this Ashanti brand sauce and it was really yummy and vinegar based, so no fattening butter! 

I used the entire bottle:

I added a little cracked black pepper and mixed everything in together to make it nice an even. Then put it in the oven at 350:

It doesn't take too long to cook! However, it will be up to you as to how well-done you want the cauliflower to be. Mine was in for maybe 20 minutes.

While it was baking I made some zucchini "noodles" and sautéed them up with some olive oil, chili flakes, and chicken sausages:

I went super mellow on the sauce/topping for this part because I knew the wing sauce would be pretty powerful, so it's a good way to balance out flavors.

This funny little combo turned out great!

The spice and the crunch of the cauliflower make for a seemingly hearty side, but leaves you satisfied and not over stuffed and by using the zucchini for "noodles" this is a great way to pack in lots of veggies in one meal!

I had left over cauliflower so I cooked it with my eggs this morning! So good!

Easy Last Minute Thanksgiving Appetizer: Bacon Wrapped Scallops!

Can you say yuuuuuum?!

I mean, basically anything wrapped in bacon is delicious in my book! 

This appetizer really doesn't take much effort and basically only has two ingredients:

 For a batch of 12

- 1 package of all-natural bacon

- 12 large sea scallops

- salt and pepper

For each scallop I wrapped one piece of bacon completely around it and fastened with a tooth pick. There were a couple of smaller scallops so I decided to just use half a strip on bacon for those and maximize the outcome!

Once they were all wrapped up I sprinkled them with some cracked black pepper and sea salt:

Next, I sprayed a baking sheet with some non-stick spray and popped them in the oven at 350:

These took about 40 minutes in the oven and I flipped them once towards the end to try and get the bacon a little more crispy on each side. 

So good!

I didn't make a sauce or anything (skipping out on extra calories) and I really don't think they needed them! The scallops stayed juicy and the bacon had plenty of flavor to satisfy! 

Like I said, easy! And I bet these items will still be available at the grocery store! 

You can't beat bacon!

Are you making any apps for Thanksgiving this year?!

Egg White Mini Quiches!

Easy Egg White Quiches, great for weekly meal prep!

All you need is a carton of egg whites, fresh spinach, and cheese ( I used a 5 cheese blend).

I chopped up some of the spinach bunch:

Then, in a small bowl I mixed the whole carton of egg whites with the spinach and cheese:

After mixing a bit, I poured it into 10 wells of a muffin tin:

One carton of egg whites is about 10 eggs, so this is about one egg per well :)

Next, slide the tray into the oven at 350 degrees:

I cooked them for about 20-30 minutes. I used a knife to poke down each one so that the moisture would come out, and they would bake thoroughly.

The tops will become a little browned when they are done:

These came out great and are great for a quick breakfast or snack! So, I just stored them in some Tupperware for the week:

Did you no any meal prep this week?!
