Superbowl Menu



It is football Sunday, but it is Superbowl Sunday. I have to admit I do watch football, but it really isn't my favorite to watch. And the Pittsburgh Steelers are not in it this year, but we will still be watching it and our whole theme for dinner. A full menu of football food and when you think of football food you think obviously of greasy foods: pizza, wings, beer, etc.

We are not having/going to a football party so it will only be the two of us. But here is a little bit of our menu, so we don't get thrown all off track. I was looking for those recipes and how to make them just a little bit healthier. Have your football food in moderations and always stay hydrated that way you do not eat over than you should.


Superbowl Sunday Meal Plan:
 
Buffalo Chicken Wings- who doesn't love eating chicken wings??

Sauce Ingredients- 1 cup of Frank's Hot sauce (or any sauce you choose)
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of onion powder
1/2 cup of honey (if you prefer less spicy) ; 1/4 cup (if you like spicy)


Chicken Ingredients- Chicken wings (as many as you would like to make)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of onion powder

Directions- Coat the chicken in olive oil; then sprinkle garlic & onion salt on top.
Let sit for a few minutes, while you are waiting combine sauce ingredients and add into slow cooker.
Add wings to the slow cooker and mix the sauce around so each wing is covered.
Cover and cook ( on low 4-5 hours) ; (on high 2-2.5)

Ranch Dressing- 1/2 Ranch Packet & 1/2 Plain Greek Yogurt

Nachos: another football favorite

Tortilla chips (I use the multigrain ones)
2 tsp. of olive oil
1/2 cup of cooked pinto beans (I'm using black beans instead)
4 oz. of cheddar cheese (or your favorite one)
And your nacho toppings (tomatoes, onions, olives, lettuce)

Preparation- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
Brush the chips with olive oil and lay on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until crispy.
Layer with beans and chips. And repeat if desired.
Bake chips approximately 3 to 4 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Top with your favorite toppings.

I hope you enjoy your Football favorite treats and whoever the team is your are rooting for wins!!!
Enjoy!!!!
