Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower



Recommended Posts

I love anything buffalo flavored. Since buffalo wings aren't exactly the healthiest, especially once you've had WLS, I searched for healthy recipes where I could still satisfy my love of buffalo sauce.

I got fresh cauliflower and cut it into florets and tossed it in a small amount of extra virgin olive oil and a little bit of salt and pepper. I spread the florets evenly on a baking sheet and baked for 25-30 minutes on 400°. After I removed them from the oven I tossed in buffalo sauce and they were ready to go! Very delish. Obviously not high in Protein but it's low cal and a healthier alternative to wings. Can be served with ranch/blue cheese but I opted against it.

We do buffalo chicken wings about once a week in my house. I just bake the chicken in a small amount of buffalo sauce, and then the last 10 minutes I pour more sauce over them. I have also made chicken legs, and boneless skinless breast tenders this way. I make ranch dressing with plain greek yogurt instead of mayo and it's just as good. I have celery on the table for the family, but I can't eat it so I have about 1/4 of a cucumber to help cool off my mouth.

I bought some buffalo tofu at Whole Foods the other day... never attempted to do tofu, but they let you have a sample first (deli section) and it was surprisingly good...bought some to mix up with some green Beans :) ...

I also got Mock chicken salad...am going to try to make it on my own (with tofu) and then share...it was YUMMY

My husband has been doing wings on the smoker, low heat smoke and then finishes with a high heat blast to get them really crispy, they are better than fried if you ask me! We are (maybe I should say "was" for me) wing snobs, so no breading and very little butter in the sauce (not 50/50 like most recipes, maybe 1 tbls to 1/2 cup sauce that is tossed on ~18 wings). They are always a huge hit at parties.

I love yogurt mayo swap mentioned above, do you seed your cucumber coolers?

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
