cauliflower hash brown patties

I was recently asked by someone with diabetes if I had a lower-carb version of a hash brown patty. I didn’t at that time, but now I do! These cauliflower hash brown patties are the delicious result—-with cauliflower swapped in place of potato. These patties do get nicely browned and a slight bit crisp. (These are not deep fried in order to keep them calorie-friendly; so, don’t expect extra crispiness!) My personal trick: Make these in advance and keep chilled in the refrigerator. Then over the next several days, quickly heat the number of patties that you need. Reheat in a toaster oven … or even a regular toaster! (Hint: For those of you who don’t need to curb calories,...

I’m an appetizer kind of gal. That means sometimes I prefer a plate of tasty bites and dips in lieu of a typical meal. So here’s a lovely dip that I just whipped up. It’s great for on any appetizer table–casual or dressy. So why do dip? Dunking into them can actually be a delicious way to boost veggie intake. On the other hand, some dips are so excessively high in calories that they’re not worth the couple minutes of indulgence.
