Anyone who’s anyone is buying like at least eight bottles of Frank’s at the store this week. I mean isn’t it like a total superbowl necessity?
I don’t know who’s playing. I don’t care who’s playing. I didn’t even know when the superbowl was till like five minutes ago. What I do know is that an ample supply of snackities doused in hot sauce and a bowl or three of spinach and artichoke dip are absolutely positively non-negotiably essential to the experience.
I mean, lezzz be real. It’s not about the offense and the defense and the quarterback and the linebacker. (Are you impressed with my sports knowledge right now?!)
It’s about the FOOD.
It’s about the keeeeeeen-waaaaaaa.
I love hot sauce almost as much as I love hummus. Almost. But not quite, because that would be treason. Hummus without hot sauce is like ice cream without hot fudge. It’s totally fine on it’s own, but pretty ground shattering with the addition.
I was noshing on the last three tomato, basil and mozzarella quinoa bites dipped in Frank’s when it dawned on me. Why not put the Frank’s IN the bites? HELLOOOOOOOOOO. It was a mildly life-changing thought. Sometimes I lurve my brain.
I ran to the kitchen to re-make them and decided to just nix the tomato and basil and add a quarter cup of Frank’s. These little babies come together in minutes, especially if you have cooked quinoa on hand. Since they’re made in a mini muffin tin, you can eat like seven at a time and then instagram it and say hashtag normal.
You should probably dip these buffalo bites in more buffalo sauce. And maybe some ranch? #Obvi.

Notes
Adapted from my Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella Quinoa Bites
These sound SO awesome!! I am obsessed with all things buffalo right now. Plus, how can you go wrong with anything in muffin form? 😉
Ya I’m down for pretty much anything that involves a mini muffin tin 🙂
I loooove keen-wah and these tasty little bites sound fab! 🙂 wonder if I could substitute the eggs for flax or chia though cause I don’t do eggs…
I don’t know a thing about football..I tried to get into it once (because of a boy)..but I had no clue what the eff was going on lol. Them players are pretty sweet to look at though..I’m a buns girl 🙂
★★★★★
OMG I think we should be besties. I, too, adore looking at the buns. It’s all about the BUNS!!I’m guessing flax eggs would work. They may be a bit more crumbly, though. let me know if you try it!

I’m pretty sure buffalo chicken is written into the Super Bowl Bible. I have grand plans of pulling out my deep fryer, breaking chicken, drowning it in Franks and having myself a big wrap in front of the tv on Sunday! These look amazing – perfect for a party!
Right you are, lady!! They’re perf for parties 🙂

Such a cool idea! Although I feel like if I brought these to a man party it would be like that one commercial where that guy is tailgating and his GF brings quinoa burgers and he pronounces it wrong and questions his manliness and then eats them anyway in the name of the game. Only with these snacks, the guys would actually realize they like it!
Bahaha that’s TOO funny! That commercial is so epic.

It’s about the food…and beyonce. But now that Beyonce crushed it I legit don’t even think I’m gonna watch. I’ll just watch the Grammys over and over again instead while eating these. You down? K cool.
Ya I’m pretty cool with that. Beyonce is my obsession. <---understatement.
She made my “about me” page. That’s how important Queen B is in my life!
I’m convinced! She has no flaws.

Perfect! Thanks lady!
