Superbowl Sunday = Superbowl Parties
We wanted to share with you some health-ier options for your Super Bowl Party. We know our Bengals aren't in it this year, but many people still have their parties to enjoy football, fun, and of course the food!
Keep your sports crowd happy and well-fed on game day with these easy recipes.
1. Cocktail Meatballs -- Throw away those old, kitschy recipes that call for grape jelly and frozen meatballs -- these homemade cocktail meatballs in a sweet and tangy sauce are easy to make and so much more delicious.
2. Roasted Garlic Guacamole -- In this fresh twist on guacamole, roasted garlic replaces raw onions. It's just as flavorful as the traditional version but without the sharp aftertaste.
3. Union Square Café Rosemary Nuts - Sweet, salty, spicy, and rosemary-infused, these nuts are the perfect nibbling food. But don't say I didn't warn you: they are crazy addictive.
4. Baked Spinach & Artichoke Dip - Instead of sour cream and mayonnaise, this French-inspired Spinach and Artichoke Dip is thickened with a Mornay sauce. It bakes up creamy, cheesy and wonderfully rich, with chunks of artichoke hearts and bright green spinach within.
5. Parmesan Buttered Popcorn - Though we've all come to rely on microwave popcorn, homemade popcorn tastes better and is a whole lot better for you. Melted butter and freshly grated Parmesan take it up a notch.
6. Black Bean Dip -- Made with sautéed onions, jalapeños, garlic and lime, this Costa Rican black bean dip is flavorful, healthy and easy to make.
7. Crispy Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Red Chili Sauce -- This Coconut Shrimp rivals any restaurant's version. The best part? You can do all of the preparation ahead of time so all that's left to do when your guests arrive is quickly fry the shrimp. To make it even easier, the sauce comes straight out of a bottle.
8. Nuts n' Bolts -- Everyone will enjoy this this retro-style Chex snack mix by the handful. Thankfully, the recipe makes a ton and feeds a crowd.
9. Chicken Chili with White Beans -- Since it's made from scratch and loaded with veggies, this is a healthy chili that you can actually feel good about eating. Don't worry, it's still hearty and delicious -- even your manly football fanatics will love it.
10. Beef Stew with Carrots and Potatoes -- Nothing beats a bowl hearty beef stew on a cold Sunday. It takes some time to make but is well worth the effort: aside from being delicious, it's a one pot meal that feeds a crowd. You can also make it a day ahead--in fact, you should because the flavor improves the longer it sits.
