An affinity for food is a defining Terranova trait.
When my sister snapchatted her latest creation it instantly captured my curiosity. It’s the perfect dive bar style snack that still keeps a semblance of healthiness. I think the first time I had buffalo cauliflower bites was with my sister on the 2019 Terranova Train Wreck tour at one the places we stopped (though theirs were fried, so again, these are healthy!)
So here I am recreating it. Although, I did tweak her recipe just a bit by making these buffalo bites beer battered, and upping the heat level with some cayenne powder.
While my buffalo bites didn’t come as picturesque or professional looking as hers, they were (I’m assuming) just as delicious. I’d recommend topping with either blue cheese crumbles, or using ranch or blue cheese dressing as a dipping sauce.
Thanks Jules!
