Vegan Quinoa and Brown Rice Bites

Buffalo Bites with Ranch Dip

Sports have never really been my thing. But I love the energy and the fellowship from watching a sporting event with other people. As a plant-based eater, it is challenging to prepare foods that match your diet but still feels like what everyone else is eating during the Big Game. If you’ve ever struggled to figure out what to bring to a party, these bites are sure to please a crowd.

Recently, I served these bites at a birthday party and the crowd went wild! The flavor is a bit spicy but delicious. Serve these with your favorite vegan dipping sauce to enjoy these bites.
