I just wanted share that the green giant cauliflower tots and rice cauliflower are the best ever!! This is coming from someone who used to hate vegetables. The veggie tots are a great substitute for regular tator tots in a casserole. The green giant website also has great recipes to make with them that I can't wait to try.

    So for some reason, I can't stand cauliflower rice, it's existence makes me irrationally angry :)

    But I agree the tots are pretty good. I have to cook them a couple minutes more than the package said though. By package directions they had just barely cooked through and were a little soggy on the inside. But once I got the top and bottom more browned, yeah they were pretty good. I dipped them in BBQ sauce. I still eat potatoes, so I don't think of them as a sub, but I'm always looking for another way to get an extra serving of veggies, especially in the colder months when most of my produce is coming out of the freezer!

    They are amazing, but if I recall correctly, I wasn't in love with the calories.

    I believe if you "tot" anything it adds calories, LOL. I guess it's whatever they bread them with. Maybe they have less carbs? I don't pay attention to carbs, so I didn't notice!

    The cauli tots are around 50 calories less than potato tot and do have less carbs. This is probably just some potatoes are the debil thing. I don't mind since they taste good.
