I’m so glad you are honest about cauliflower. I like cauliflower, but it is NOT rice/mashed potatoes or steak. I always said that whoever said “they taste the same!” has either not had real potatoes or rice in so long they forgot or are straight up lying.

[@hollymarie7429]

I love using it as a rice or potato substitute in recipes but not alone. That being said it is NOT a meat substitute

[@dundonoz]

i must be one of the only people who prefers tiny cauli bits over rice 😂

[@Sakanamoto]

@@dundonoz I rather enjoy cauli rice too, but what I think they meant was don’t go using it expecting it to taste like rice. I personally think instead of replacing, why not just add it to your diet to have more variety? Unless of course dietary restrictions, but again try to find ways to enjoy each food in their own ways rather than expecting it to replace another.

[@TabbyWithMittens]

Yeah I think it’s more healthy to recognize the difference in foods, but it’s not wrong to use substitutes!

[@derryXDINES]

I make a Starbucks doubleshot (I'll never call it shaken espresso!) cocktail that is similar to what you made here. Instead of blending the cream in with the ice, I shake the coffee and liqueur over ice, strain, and float the cream. I made a short about it, I'll send it to you on TikTok in case you want to try. It's like a next level espresso martini. I gotta try that whipped cream vodka, though! And your inconsistent chopped onions in the first recipe cracked me up. No judging here!

[@goodtimeswiththegoodrums3019]

Definitely didn’t need to bake the chicken after frying it that long. Could have just put it back in the sauce in the pan to warm it back up. But I agree, I made that marry me chicken about 15 years ago and didn’t love it either!

[@ErinRobinson]

Maybe that's where I went wrong!!!! I am still on the hunt for a delicious and easy chicken dish that is mind blowing...but this on wasn't it!

I like to just make fresh roasted cauliflower florets in the oven like 375°F for 15-20 minutes with non-dairy butter, salt, pepper and garlic. I think the first dish could be elevated with maybe some lemon juice or capers and served over pasta. You made a boozy frappuccino or like a blended frozen mudslide either way that looked amazing 🤤😋. Also I looooove these types of videos because you introduced me to the viral feta pasta made with the boursin cheese spread.

[@ErinRobinson]

Oh lemon would have been perfection!!!!! Also, I feel HONORED to have introduced you to that!!! Do you still love it?? I never knew boursin existed and now I eat it alllll the timeeee

I found this Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza recipe on Tiktok that I make atleast once a week. It's made with a chicken crust. People use canned chicken because it's time effective but I just use regular chicken breast. Toppings are lettuce that you dress with caesar dressing, parm cheese and lemon zest. It's Delicious!!

[@ErinRobinson]

Do you pound the chicken to make it super thin??

[@meesh_90]

You shred it. This is my video making it @sweet.dream.dessert.cups

[@ToriSchmaltz]

I like cauliflower too, but when it’s only trying to be cauliflower. Not masquerading as rice or mashed potatoes or whatever lol. My dad used to cover a crown of cauliflower with mayonnaise and cover that with cheese and bake it. He never told me it had Mayo so I loved it haha.

[@CourtneyVisconti]

Totally the same with the overcooking of the chicken....I tried once to cook it like I should, I ended up back in the kitchen a minute later and whacked it back in the oven for longer. LOL

[@Christina-Claire]

I think if it is like Brazilian lemonade adding the milk into the strawberry blender would definitely be the way to go.

but skip the straining step??

[@mommypov4958]

Ok, for the cauliflower one, i have a few suggested alterations, as a side dish to a steak, 😂, use as a steak or crumbles, either work, the chunks cook quicker, swap out the parmesean for nutritional yeast and sprinkle with a little panko and air fry. Serve with said steak, and drizzle/dip cauliflower with a garlic aolie 🤤 garlic aolie: 1 clove minced garlic, 2ish tbsp mayo of choice, 2ish tsp white wine vinegar, salt, black or white pepper, cayenne(i like spicy) and paprika(reg or smoked) mix together...your welcome

[@CarinaCoffee]

I am a mostly plant-based vegetarian and I have to say I'm annoyed by the cauliflower steaks. I mean, there's nothing wrong with them as a side, but not as a main component of a dish. So many restaurants are using them as their vegan menu item but don't even add any legumes, beans or whatever as a source of protein. Yes, seasoning plays a big role in how much a food will taste like e.g. gyros, but if you want a meat like texture, you're better of with mushrooms. Lions mane or king oyster mushrooms have a very similar texture to meat, already have that umami taste and take on seasoning really well. But for the love of whatever is holy to you, people, you need to serve non-meat eaters more than cauliflower and potatoes!

[@ErinRobinson]

I feel this! I actually found one recipe afterwards with a butter bean puree that looked amazing. Also, to caveat, I am not always trying "full" meals just random recipes that I find. So, I didn't mean to necessarily imply that this would be the entire meal! It certainly is not enough!
