    As much as I want to munch on good food at a Super Bowl party, I don't want to be stuck in the kitchen the entire time. There are Doritos ads to chuckle at, touchdowns to cheer and blankets to hide under while trying to disguise the tears from the last Budweiser commercial. I know I'm not the only one! That's where easy appetizers, like these Guacamole Spiced Shrimp Crostini, come into play.

    Whether you are someone who is "all about the ads" or you go to Super Bowl parties for the actual football game, you have to agree that one of the most important parts is the food. As much as I enjoy a chicken wing or two, I take on the challenge to come up with football-worthy dishes that happen to be healthy. Challenge happily accepted if it means I get to eat appetizers like these crostini, my all-time favorite Slow Cooker Hoisin Chicken and these cute Mini Avocado & Hummus Quesadillas.

    So, what does it take to make these crostini? A whole wheat (preferably) baguette, shrimp, a few spices, feta cheese and a container of my favorite Sabra Classic Guacamole. If there is one game day "must", it is guacamole and Sabra's is filled with just the good stuff - avocado, onion, tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, garlic, lime juice. And it's already made for you, so all you have to do is open the package and start dipping or spreading.

    Drink in one hand + dipping vehicle in the other = highly entertaining Super Bowl!

    There is one trick to shrimp, regardless of how you cook them...stop cooking before you think they're actually done because shrimp become as tough as a rubber ball when overcooked. In this recipe, the shrimp are tossed with olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper, then roasted for all of four minutes. Spread the guacamole on the toasted baguette pieces, top each one with a succulent shrimp and garnish with some crumbles of feta cheese.

    Healthy game day perfection!
