Parmesan "Tater Tots"


Many websites will tell you cauliflower is a great sub for potatoes.  Well, I have to strongly disagree but only because of taste.  The texture is great and you can truly make many of your favorite potato recipes with cauliflower.  But to me, the flavor is entirely different.  That being said, as long as you're not expecting potatoes, these little tots will not disappoint!  I was really impressed by them!  I made one full recipe which turned out to be about 20 tots so I froze what I didn't eat tonight (I'm only cooking for me).  Perfect for a quick meal another time!  If you decide to try them, let me know what you think!

OMG this was SO good!!  To celebrate my daughter's birthday I cooked a special dinner for her tonight.  She loves zucchini noodles (zoodles) as do I so I started searching a few days ago for just the perfect recipe.  What I came up with was a combination of basically three different ones!  So this is a bit labor intensive but you don't have to do it all at once if you don't want to.  I didn't.  I made the sauce and zoodles in the early afternoon then at dinner time, all I had to do was saute the shrimp and heat up the zoodles and sauce.  So easy! I forgot to sprinkle with Parmesan because I couldn't wait to dig in!   So here is my adaptation of all these recipes.  Links to the originals are within these directions.
