Crispy Parmesan Cauliflower Bites. A dip-able, pop-able, tasty low carb snack. These are a quick and easy to make and even the kids will love them!

I am on a diet. When am I never on a diet? But I’m trying to eat fewer carbs so I can lose my belly fat. So I’m experimenting with some new recipes. These Crispy Parmesan Cauliflower bites are so perfect. They may not be the healthiest recipe, but they are a lot better for me than mozzarella sticks, so I’m good with that. Plus, they are delicious!

When I decided I was going  to make these, I headed to my pantry and realized that I had no Panko Bread Crumbs, and since it was a Sunday (I don’t shop on Sundays) I had to improvise. I had croutons in my pantry instead, so I got a little creative and I LOVE the way these turned out.

Crispy Parmesan Cauliflower Bites

• One head of cauliflower cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs or 3 cups Italian seasoned croutons
• 1 teaspoon dry Italian seasoning
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 2 or more cups vegetable, peanut, or canola oil

Start by cracking the eggs into a cereal sized bowl and whisk until smooth. If you are using croutons instead of Panko Bread Crumbs, add the croutons to your food processor and pulse until very fine like Panko Bread Crumbs. Add the bread crumbs to another cereal size bowl and add the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Add the flour to a gallon sized zip lock bag.

Add enough oil into a 10″ skillet to come up about 2 inches on the sides. Turn on medium high heat and get the temperature of the oil to about 350 degrees.

Add about 10 pieces of the cauliflower to the flour in the bag, zip it closed and shake it to coat the cauliflower. Tap off the excess flour and dip the cauliflower in the egg, then in the bread crumb mixture then into the hot oil.

Repeat with remaining 9 pieces and fry for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined cooling rack to cool.

Repeat the process with remaining cauliflower. Serve with ranch dressing for dipping and enjoy!

½ cup white balsamic vinegar

⅓ cup vegetable oil

⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil

Combine all ingredients in a pint sized glass jar and shake well to dissolve sugar.

To make the salad:

12-16 ounces baby spinach, arugula, field greens

1 small bunch cilantro, washed and dried, leaves removed whole from stems

2 medium avocados, peeled and halved

¾ cup dried cranberries

¾ cup Candied Spiced Almonds

Place greens and cilantro leaves in a large bowl. Add avocado and dried cranberries and about ¼ cup of the dressing and toss gently. Scatter candied almonds over salad and sprinkle lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Serve with the extra dressing.

To make the Spiced Almonds:

5 cups sliced almonds, or a 1 pound package
½ cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin
1-1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika* – some smoked paprikas are quite hot, if you don’t like “hot”, just use 1 teaspoon and they will be mildly spiced.
1 teaspoon vanilla
sea salt

1. Place a large sheet of foil on a work surface. Spray with cooking spray or rub a teaspoon of oil over foil with a paper towel.

2. Place sugar in a large non-stick sauté pan and heat over medium heat , occasionally tipping and swirling the sugar until it is all melted into a pale golden syrup.

3. Lower heat immediately and add butter, cinnamon, smoked paprika and vanilla. Stir until well combined and all butter is incorporated into the sugar syrup.

4. Add the nuts and stir gently to coat. Don’t worry if you have some clumps of caramelized sugar – they will melt as you continue to sauté the almonds. Cover and continue to cook on low, stirring every minute or so until almonds are a delicious golden brown. Watch very carefully as they can go from beautiful to burned very quickly! Turn out onto prepared foil and sprinkle liberally with sea salt. Spread out on foil to cool.

Enjoy savoring every bite!

When he woke up he discovered his toenails had been painted with green nail polish. Because nail polish remover was no where to be found he decided not to worry about it, instead he went back out on the lake to perfect his wakeboarding “back flip”. I am told he was “killing it” right up until he missed the landing on his last flip. His spectacular wipe out resulted in his left pelvis being dislocated. I knew something was wrong when my  friend called me and I listened to her say “your son is OK, but….”. She then went on to explain what had happened. After my sons fall he was in too much pain to be lifted and placed back into the ski boat. Our friends stabilized him in the water with additional life vests while the other ski boat was sent back to the house boat to retrieve Kay, (a family member who is a physical therapist). Kay was able to instruct those on the boat  how to lift my son out of the water and onto the boat’s back platform safely while causing him as little discomfort as possible. Kay monitored my son on the slow ride back to the houseboat and the hour before the life line helicopter arrived with the paramedics. Thank you Kay!!!!!

My son received emergency medical treatment from 2 wonderful Life Line paramedics.  He was then life lined to the Medical Center Hospital in Flagstaff  in Arizona where he received excellent medial care by their ER staff. I will be FOREVER grateful to each individual who treated and cared for my son. Mere words are not enough to express my sincere gratitude!

Because this was an extremely painful injury my son was given a significant amount of pain medication to get him to a near pain free state. Being nearly pain free also meant he was extremely LOOPY by the time they landed at the hospital. What do you think my son was most concerned about in his loopy state of mind? Providing an explanation to each member of the medical staff who treated him why his toenails had been painted green! The Dr. and staff who treated my son thoroughly enjoyed both his concerns and explanation as to why he was sporting green toenails.

His left pelvis was reset that morning and he was released later that afternoon. Fortunately my wonderful niece (Deb’s oldest daughter) happens to live 3 hours away. I gave my niece a call and she immediately dropped everything to drive to Flagstaff where she retrieved my son, turned around and got right back in her car and drove another 3 hours to return home. My son spent the night in her home under her watchful eye. The next morning she fed him breakfast, drove him to the airport and put on a plane bound for home. Oh, how I love my family!!!

My son is now resting peacefully on our living room couch. I’m thrilled to have him home where I can smother  care for him until he is recovered enough to return to his college life at BYU. What was the first to do item on my list? Nail polish remover! Second, there is only one other thing I can do to help him feel better, feed him some fabulous comfort food like these divine Brown Sugar Glazed Ham and Pineapple Kabobs. You do not need a reason like green painted toenails or a huge life changing event like dislocating your pelvis to make these kabobs. Just make them, because……

This Pin Totally Rocks!

Before I sign off  both my husband and I want to take a moment to once again express our deepest appreciation to those of you who cared for and treated our son. He is a 22 year old young man in his own right, but to us  he will always be our “boy”. It is moments like these where you realize how much you appreciate people you do not know who step in to care for your child in your absence. I have found that quite often those who are in the medical field tend to be very modest about the service and care they provide for others.  Many times when thanked I have heard them say “I was just doing my job” or “that’s what we are hear for”.  Well, thank you again to the staff at the Medical Center Hospital in Flagstaff, Arizona for “being there” and “doing your job”. My husband and I are hard pressed to find the words that can adequately convey our gratitude for the care and treatment you provided for our boy.

This recipe is actually a combination of two pins. The recipe for the kabobs comes from Cris at Goodness Gracious and the The Brown Sugar Coconut Glaze is from Nikki at the Chef in Training. Both Cris and Nikki’s blogs are full of amazing recipes that you will love!

In fact, once I tasted a perfectly hard-boiled egg, I knew I could never go back to dry, crumbly yolks. But no matter how hard I tried, I got the timing wrong and ended up with the green ring. 

Over the years, I have found a technique that I believed to be perfect. Then I found this pin and tried it, and now there is a new tool in my bag of cooking tricks. It works every time!

Hard-boiled eggs are nutritious and healthy

Eggs are such a quick, easy, portable snack. They are a great source of high-quality protein, too. Rich in selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12, and a source of minerals such as zinc, copper, and iron.

In fact, one large egg contains about 75 calories which makes it a low-calorie food.

Moreover, they are filling and make you eat fewer calories. With so many health benefits for the body, these products will help if you want to lose weight and maintain a healthy diet. 

Health benefits of eggs

• low-calorie
• rich in protein
• rich in minerals such as zinc, copper, selenium
• rich in vitamins
• contain Omega-3
• contain healthy fats
• source of choline
• source of lutein
• filling and satiating 

Are you eating enough protein?

Getting enough protein can help with building muscle mass, losing weight, and lowering blood pressure. No wonder that people who tend to live a healthy lifestyle eat eggs on the regular. Include them into your diet to increase the feeling of fullness.

Protein is essential for the body! Make sure you eat enough of it. No cracks, easy-peel, perfect hard-boiled eggs are something you should consider adding to your diet.

Include hard-boiled eggs into your everyday meals

Got a batch of perfect hard-boiled eggs ready and peeled in your fridge? Eating them without seasoning may get boring. Think of ideas on how to make things more interesting. 

For increasing your protein intake, add hard-boiled eggs to:

• salads
• sandwiches
• wraps
• pasta
• appetizers
• breakfast bowls
• creamy dips and sauces
• hummus and veggie bowls
• smoothies

You can use them chopped up in salads, grated on pizza, or as a base for dips. Add a hard-boiled egg to your smoothie bowl, to give it an extra protein kick. Marinate them and season with sesame seeds and paprika.

In addition, make healthy and nutritious sandwiches and wraps with veggies and eggs. Use them in dressings for salad or make a paste with eggs for your sandwich, too. Shredded eggs are great for tossing on pizza or salad. 

For example, deviled eggs are something I tend to make only in spring, and I am looking forward to them. I have had plenty of hard-boiled eggs that have that green ring around the yolk.

Growing up, I thought that is how they are supposed to be. Actually, I didn’t know that the green coloring means they are overcooked.

Tips for making the perfect hard-boiled eggs

How many Easter eggs have you cracked while experimenting with different techniques? No cracks, easy-peel, perfect hard-boiled eggs are so easy to make. To boil the eggs, use boiling water on the stove, an instant pot, or even an air-fryer. In fact, I use the old-fashioned way with the boiling water in the pot on the stove.

You will need:

• Older eggs
• A cotton kitchen towel
• A pot

First of all, to make no cracks, easy-peel, perfect hard-boiled eggs, you have to use eggs one week old. Older eggs are easier to peel. The next step is to lay a clean white cotton kitchen towel in the pot.

I got this tip from my wonderful mother-in-law (I have mentioned before how good she is at all things homemaking. She raised her five kids on a farm. Grew, canned, cooked, and sewed everything herself! She even made her own Easter candy!).

How to protect the eggs from cracking

Easter eggs should not get cracked while boiling. Otherwise, you turn out to have fewer eggs for dyeing. In fact, the cracked ones will make a great addition to your salad. But the main idea is to have all the eggs hard-boiled and to minimize cracking them. 

The towel acts as a cushion for the eggs. So when the water boils, the eggs don’t knock against each other and get cracks. You can do many eggs in a large pot this way if you lay the towel in between layers of eggs. I like this when I am making a lot of eggs for Easter. I can do a large batch, and they come out perfect for dyeing. 

Helpful tips for making no cracks, easy-peel, perfect hard-boiled eggs:

• Assure there is enough space for the eggs and not put too many of them in the pan.
• Position them in just one layer and not put one over the other. 

Fold the towel over the eggs and fill the pot with enough water to cover the eggs. Here is the new Pinterest tip I learned from The Kitchn via Pinterest. Add 1/4 tsp baking soda to the water. The Kitchn explains how it changes the pH level and makes them easier to peel.

Bring the water to a rolling boil. Not only bubbling but also rolling. Boil for 1 minute, then turn off the heat and leave the eggs in the pan of water until cooled. Drain the water, and they are ready. Perfect for Easter egg dyeing.

How to peel hard-boiled eggs easier 

Who else feels frustrated when shells come off in tiny pieces? The peeling process can be so annoying and time-consuming sometimes.

Moreover, it is nerve-wracking when shells come off with pieces of egg whites on them. A real test for the nerves! And the result is a peeled egg that is not even on the outside and looks a bit chipped. In fact, if I end up with eggs looking uneven and chipped, I prefer to use them shredded instead. 

I like to make enough eggs for a week, peel them all at once, and store them in a ziplock bag for a quick snack on the go. Actually, I will share with you a fact about peeling eggs. As a matter of fact, I start peeling at the end, where there is a bubble of air. It helps get under the skin, and peeling goes easier.

Make sure to try this easy way to peel your eggs! How to Peel Your Eggs With a Spoon – another simple and effective way to peel eggs!

I compared eggs boiled with and without baking soda and found baking soda did make a difference. 

The best feeling is when there are large pieces of shell that come right off. You feel so happy and proud at the same time! You almost feel like a chef in some fancy restaurant. Eggs always seem to be perfect-looking in restaurants. Making easy-to-peel eggs can be a difficult task, indeed. But it is a possible one! 

Safety tips for using eggs

• Always wash your eggs with water before use.
• Store hard-boiled eggs in a container in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
• Place the eggs on the coldest part of your refrigerator – not the door.
• Inspect the eggs before buying them, and never buy cracked eggs.
• Always check the expiry date of the eggs before buying them.
• Don’t keep eggs at room temperature for more than a few hours.

Easter egg dyeing is a great family time with the grandkids

How many hard-boiled eggs will you be boiling for Easter? I know I will be hard-boiling my share of eggs to decorate this year. I like at least a dozen per person for dyeing.

Decorating eggs is another fun family tradition. A time to bond with the grandkids and create memories that last a long time. 

It gets messy! But also creativity is involved, and they spend time having fun without any electronics or toys. Build a strong bond with your grandchildren while dyeing Easter eggs, ask them questions and answer theirs. Create meaningful conversations about the tradition and coloration of the eggs. It is a way to spark their creativity and express their thoughts.

Try using natural dyes like beetroot, onion skins, red cabbage, spinach, carrots, spirulina, matcha powder, or turmeric. It is the way to make sure you won’t add any artificial substances to your food. You already have these in your kitchen. It will be fun for the grandkids to find these coloring agents in the kitchen and see how they can color the eggs with them.

The bottom line

It’s the end of your struggle with hard-boiled eggs and spending a long time peeling them. I know you have been looking for a way to boil eggs without cracking them and make these shells slide off easily.

Finally, we have answers to these questions! And the method is tested and proven effective, of course! 

Now that you have no cracks, easy-peel, perfect hard-boiled eggs, put them to good use and enjoy! Besides, being an affordable source of protein, you should consider adding eggs to your meals. For instance, add some hard-boiled eggs to your salad or sandwich. It plays a big role in maintaining healthy body weight and living a healthy lifestyle. 

In short, don’t worry about the Easter egg dyeing anymore. Make hard-boiled eggs like a PRO! It will change your life! Get crackin’, peel away, and enjoy your eggs. This Pin Rocks!

The post No Cracks, Easy Peel, Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs appeared first on TGIF - This Grandma is Fun.

Start by peeling 2 medium sweet potatoes and then slicing them about 1 1/2 inches thick.

Get your water to boiling and then add your sweet potatoes cooking for about 12 minutes.  The goal is to get them soft but not cooked through. Put them in a bowl and let them cool off for a tad.

Then flatten each potato disk slightly. The recipe instructed to use a clear glass so that you can see your “smashing technique”.

After all of the disks have been flattened, brush some oil and butter on them. (2 tsp melted butter with 2 tsp olive oil)  Make sure to coat BOTH sides.

After basting, now come the spices!  Let’s get this party started!

1 & 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon New Mexico chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1/8 teaspoon granulated garlic

Combine all your spices and then sprinkle them on your “smashed potatoes”. Once again, press your spices into BOTH SIDES  of your potato disk.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and roast the potatoes for 15 minutes.  Gently turn over and roast again for approximately another 10 minutes or until the sugar caramelizes and forms a nice crust.  This “crustiness” is one of  the things that sets this dish apart.

The sugar, the spices, the sugary crust makes these potatoes “To Die For!”

There you have it. Crash Hot Sweet Potatoes. They just might become your new Thanksgiving Tradition.

Take cupcake pans for instance.  I didn’t really realize how old my cupcake pans were until I read about this pin.  AND SAW THE  PANS.  They were totally probably bought  just for the  blog post because I don’t want to admit that other people have lovely kitchens with beautiful lovely cupcake pans just laying around in their beautiful, lovely cupboards.  {{total cupcake pan envy}}

The proof is in the pan:This did bring back a memory that happened just recently.  A couple of months ago, my youngest daughter and I were at my future daughter-in-law’s bridal shower.  As I sat there and looked at all of the fresh, new, clean items that she was receiving, I was thinking that people who have been married awhile should have a “freshen things up  shower”!  And kind of mumbling under my breath, I whispered to my daughter…”I need a shower.”  She looked at me with an absolute horrified expression and said “Mom!!  You didn’t take a shower this morning?!?!”  Why would she say such a thing to me when she knows darn well that I take a shower every single day?

Yeah.

Whatever.

So on to the “pin”!  After reading a fabulous blog post on The Burlap Bag, with my old cupcake pan in hand, my eggs entered the oven.  Now the cleanliness of my oven is another story and we’ll deal with that later.

After baking at 350° for the half hour as directed, I then removed the eggs and deposited them in the cold, ice water.

Now it came time to peel the eggs.  Supposedly the shell is supposed to come off amazingly well and you end up with perfectly smooth eggs.  Mmm…didn’t quite happen.   I did have two eggs that came out like this:

Don’t worry. The original post said that sometimes you get little brown spots when you bake these and they are okay.

But the majority of my eggs came out like this:

All in all, this was a fun alternative as a “one time” try.  But since I have the same results as when I boil the eggs (I also put them in cold water after boiling) I would probably not do this again but that’s okay.  Sometimes it’s alright to do things the old fashioned way.  Kinda like me.  And my cupcake pans.

Sorry to say but for me…This Pin Flopped!
