Superbowl is a great opportunity to get together and enjoy some fun foods with friends and family!Although I’ve never seen any of the games and have no clue as to how its played, I surely enjoy snacking and having a great time,while the die hard fans are glued to the TV!My appetizer today is a great option for anyone looking for a healthier alternative to the traditional Buffalo wings.My Tofu Buffalo Bites couldn’t be easier and are great for any occasion.

I’d initially thought of using just the Buffalo Wing Sauce, but realized it was overly tangy and quite hot!Solution?Adding some sweet honey!Honey gives a nice glaze to the sauce and makes it stick to the Tofu giving it lots of flavor.A healthy appetizer that’s easy, delicious and you can swap the honey for agave or any liquid sweetener for your Vegan guests!

With Superbowl in sight, our Cooked in Translation team has chosen the perfect dish to try out this time!The theme of Cooked in Translation is to create your own adaptation of a recipe and that’s what makes this so exciting!!The recipe for today is CHICKEN WINGS chosen by our host Azlin Bloor of LinsFood!I’ve used Chicken Tenders or Goujons here because the hubby doesn’t like Chicken Wings with bones.I’m sure there are many people out there who prefer boneless wings like my husband does and why not, its more meaty and tastes absolutely delicious.

These make for the perfect little bites to enjoy while watching your favorite game and they couldn’t be easier, since they’re made in a skillet!The sauce is a sweet and spicy combination of honey and Sriracha with some toasted Cumin that gives it so much flavor and the lovely color.Talking about Sriracha, I have to admit I’m addicted to it and add it to everything I cook these days!But wait till you try this recipe, it all comes together on the stovetop and I serve these with a simple Greek Yoghurt Dip spiked with cayenne and cumin!Its hot, its sweet,its just perfect for any game night!
