We are halfway through the second week of quarantine and it has become increasingly more difficult to spice up our meals! Luckily the rain has stopped in Dallas and we can fire up the grill, but we are repeating the same recipes. I bought an abundance of cauliflower, because there was no broccoli left at Trader Joe’s, and we have invented Buffalo Cauliflower as a result. Actually, we didn’t really invent this recipe, I remembered having buffalo cauliflower bites as an appetizer at Public School 214. This recipe is super simple and pairs well with most protein. You can use any buffalo sauce, but we really like the Wing-Time Medium Sauce (from Whole Foods). Enjoy! xoxo

1 head of cauliflower

1/4 cup canola oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup buffalo sauce

Cut the head of cauliflower into pieces. In a medium bowl, mix cauliflower pieces with canola oil, salt, pepper, and buffalo sauce. Scatter pieces on a lined baking tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees, or until the tops brown. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Football season is officially back! I spent an embarrassing amount of time this past weekend watching multiple games and devouring this spinach artichoke dip. Football season is so much more fun when you watch games with friends and I love hosting watch parties at my house. Like any good southern, I always have something on hand to feed my guests, which is where this spinach artichoke dip becomes a lifesaver! It is so simple, easy, and a huge crowd pleaser for game day. I add a little extra kick with 3 teaspoons of smoked paprika and it is best served with pita or tortilla chips. I added these adorable Eat, Drink, Football napkins from Swoozies to my game day spread. Enjoy! xoxo
