I recently came across PETA’s SpicyBuffalo Cauliflower “Wings” while searching for the best Super Bowl vegan snacks. I took PETA’s recipe and started experimenting with it (using only water, using different types of non-dairy milk, using different types of flour). My Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower “Wings” are made with a combination of water, soy milk, garbanzo flour and spices. In my opinion, this is the best combination. I hope you enjoy it!
This is me in 2007, watching Super Bowl XLI, LIVE!. The American Football Conference Champion Indianapolis Colts played the National Football Conference Champion Chicago Bears under pouring rain. The Indianapolis Colts defeated the Bears 29–17.
I was invited to attending this game by one of my closest friends, an experience I will cherish FOREVER!
