Vegan Chipotle Cauliflower Buffalo Bites + Raw Cashew Ranch Dip (gf) The 2014 Football Season is here, and what better way to kick it off than with some spicy, saucy, "I need 20 napkins" buffalo bites? Oh, and they're...drumroll...healthy too. Wait....don't go! Stay for this, I know you'll love them. Cheezy burger spreads, pizza crust, oven-roasted steaks, and now buffalo wings, I think it's safe to say that with Cauliflower, you can do it all. Cauliflower is one of my favorite ingredients to use because it is so versatile and has a power punch of nutrition. It's my go-to vegetable when I try to create a recipes with hidden vegetables for my family to try. Vegan Chipotle Cauliflower Buffalo Bites + Raw Cashew Ranch Dip (gf)

Go Salt-Free With This Healthy & Green Raw Vegan Salt Substitute Being vegan, we all get those questions that, at a certain point, we dread answering. Don't know what I'm talking about? You do, trust me. Let me refresh your memory....
  • Where do you get your protein?
  • But how do you give up cheese? It is just so good.
  • Doesn't this meat smell so good to you?
  • How come you don't eat fish? They aren't technically animals...
  • How do you get full off of just that?
  • Do you get enough nutrients?
  • Don't you feel tired all day?
But the one thing that I have been hearing a lot of lately is "how the heck did you manage to cut salt out of your diet"? My answer to that? CELERY! Yes, Celery! I grew up hating celery. I know hate is a very strong word, but I just could not stand it. It was stringy, hard to chew and swallow, and of a flavor that I felt could not be tamed. But I have realized why that is, it's because celery itself is SALTY. I disliked it alone just as I had disliked salty french fries or saltine crackers. As I have adapted my taste buds in taking on a high raw diet, in some way or another, I have grown to love celery. I can eat it with spreads/dips, almond or peanut butter, in soups, salads, or just plain as is. It is what I needed when first transitioning into a high raw, raw till 4 diet to satisfy my salt cravings, which I no longer have! Go Salt-Free With This Healthy & Green Raw Vegan Salt Substitute

Celery is a good source of vitamin A, choline, vitamin C, niacin, pantothenic acid, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, and Phosphorus. Celery also contains Omega-6 fatty acids. So not only will you be adding a punch of that salty flavor your love so much to your food, but also a large variety of beneficial nutrients!

This is a simple and mess free DIY that I know you all will enjoy,  so let's get to it!
