(Click on photo for full-size image!) Makes 6 servings: 5 wings each I don’t think I’ve ever been to a Super Bowl gathering where chicken wings were not part of the feast. Though I skip them since I prefer to spend my calories elsewhere. Now here’s a way for us all to partake in their party popping goodness in a veggie friendly way. These  wings are made with cauliflower. They’re boneless too, of course. I heard about some folks doing this, but I needed to try it out for myself in my own culinary style.  They won’t taste like chicken (since there’s no chicken in them), but they are every bit a spicy hot bite. Definitely worth a try! Calories...

These sundaes are like two treats in one. They’re made with fudgy vegan brownies and topped with dairy-free mint chip frozen dessert, providing a decadent bite that you can actually feel good about indulging in. The fresh mint accent makes these pretty personal-size sundaes extra special. Party Tip: If you plan to serve these mini sundaes for a gathering, make the brownies in advance...

mexican-inspired seven layer dip

(Click on photo for full-size image!) Makes 16 servings Super Bowl party, anyone? Or maybe an Oscar soiree? Whether you’re hosting a gathering or going to one, here’s an app that’ll disappear before the end of the evening. It’s basically a Mexican layer dip with a few new twists. Frankly, I make dip for casual get-togethers more often than anything else because they’re always crowd pleasers. This is my newest translation. The grapes on top … love! And the quark in it will surely raise some eyebrows. (Quark is simply a fresh European-style cheese that’s like a super creamy cottage cheese.) Let me know if your dip gets demolished!
