CHEESE-STUFFED CAULIFLOWER NUGGETS
July 13, 2016
A healthier option for snack and another way to 'hide' the vegetable. It's pretty easy to make and it's nice to eat with sweet chili sauce too (for adults). My breadcrumbs come with mixed herbs, so ended up the smell and taste of herbs was a little strong. Made 12 nuggets, LO ate 2 and hubby finished most of them, so I'm happy :D
