It’s time to pull out my Top 10 Healthy Super Bowl recipes for the big game. From appetizers to entrées, there’s something for everyone!
In any other year, Super Bowl Sunday would mean a day of cooking our favorite football food and watching pre-game shows, but this year will be a little different. We decided that this was the year that we were really going to do the ski thing the right way. Every Sunday, we pack some lunches, pull on some layers and head to the slopes just half an hour away for a day of skiing. That doesn’t leave us much time for cooking before the Super Bowl, so the plan is a little different this year.
We’ll be making a batch of Slow Cooker Hoisin Chicken the day before, then reheating it just before the big game and piling it on whole wheat buns with a Spicy Asian Slaw. Sweat pants, a roaring fire, our good friends and our favorite shredded chicken. That sounds like the perfect game day to me!
While Super Bowl foods are notoriously calorie- and fat-laden, I have a whole slew of healthy recipes in my arsenal that are every bit as satisfying. Let’s get started with my family’s Top 10 favorites. May the best team win on Sunday!
Healthy Mediterranean 7-Layer Dip
Lightened-Up Buffalo Chicken Phyllo Turnovers
Slow Cooker Hoisin Chicken
Chipotle White Chicken Chili with Corn & White Beans
Mini Chili Filled Phyllo Cups
Hearty Chicken Stew with Butternut Squash & Quinoa
5-Minute Black Bean Dip
Light Sweet Potato Skins with Bacon & Goat Cheese
Roasted Shrimp with Rosemary, Garlic & Lemon
Grilled Italian Panini with Zucchini, Summer Squash & Basil

Jan 30, 2015 at 5:07 pmGood for you for getting skiing done right this year; that’s our plan as well albeit we go Saturdays but there is hardly any snow at mt hood 🙁
Your Super Bowl party sounds like our kind of thing – outdoor fun followed by a relaxing evening/afternoon hanging out with friends and good food.

Feb 1, 2015 at 6:35 amCould you please add me to your email account because my school google account is blocking me from doing it. The school tech says he can’t fix the problem.
I do have you pinned but I’m not good at that either–just learning how it works.
Thanks for your help.
