Super Bowl Sunday







Two things every sorority girl can agree to love: Boys, and Cooking for boys. Throw football and beer into the mix and there lies the best combo ever.  Your favorite team may not be playing, but you can still enjoy the day! I, myself am a HUGE Patriots fan so clearly I am pretty excited for this Sunday. What I am even more excited for is cooking for a houseful of hungry hockey players.. wait that doesn't sound appealing, whatever, it will be interesting to say the least! I know everyones first reaction would be to log into pinterest and search for interesting recipes, but I've found that some of the links are broken, not in english!, or just plain unhealthy. A friend of mine stumbled across a great blog called Eat Yourself Skinny, written by a 20 something girl with a love for food and dogs. I think we'd get along great! Everything is healthy, and homemade. She even includes nutritional info and weight watchers point values! GREAT!

Here are my top 5 favorite "Super Bowl" dishes

1. Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Spinach and artichoke is one of my favorite dips ever, if not my actual favorite. Unfortunately it is notorious for being unhealthy in fat content and calories despite being made with what would unknowingly seem like healthy ingredients. Applebee's is the most popular restaurant in my opinion for artichoke dip... and now that I mention that I may go get some tonight!


"This recipe is around 120 calories per serving as opposed to a typical spinach and artichoke dish being around 250 calories!!"



2. Buffalo Chicken Bites


I've never tried anything like buffalo chicken bites but it sounds amazing and only 5 weight watcher points per serving so its good and good for ya! Obviously you can't load on the blue cheese or ranch dressing, which will be VERY hard for me,  but I'm sure they'll be great just the same. I may actually have to make these! A new alternative to the old standby buffalo chicken dip!



3. Taco Wontons, aka Taco Cupcakes!


I've never attempted anything like this but I think I just may have to! I am obsessed with Mexican food and tacos, and of course guacamole. I don't know how the boys will feel about this but who cares! I have needs too ;)






I think I'll leave out the "healthy" and "good for you" part when telling the boys when I made for them. I've found they don't really care anyway!

xo. GO PATS!
