Anybody ever had some poorly cooked and very sad broccoli that wasn’t worth eating? Yup. Me too. But it’s still one of my favorite veggies! Sometimes it’s not actually the food itself we don’t like.

Kaci’s Friday Find — Cauliflower Pretzels by From the Ground Up Snacks
Cauliflower Pretzels?! Yup! I found these Whole Foods and had to give them a try! They are super macro-friendly and taste like pretzels! My hubby even said he thought they tasted better than pretzels. He was eating some of the “real” kind at the time he tried them, so that is a pretty…
