January 31, 2013 - Super Bowl Parties

Hey gang, I know this Sunday is a BIG Party day, so we will not meet this week, but NEXT Sunday. We will focus on Valentine's desserts (all legal) and fish recipes, as we definitely need more of these. So, as we are NOT meeting on Super Bowl Sunday, and you probably have a party to attend, let's talk about healthy options for us: 1. Jicama is a fabulous veggie with some powerful crunch. You can eat it with hummus (no sugar), baked in the oven with oil and paprika (in the shape of steak fries), and simply by itself with salt. 2. Veggies and dill dip. Cut your veggies up and then mix a couple of tbs of light sour cream, 1 tbs of Duke's mayo and a lot of dill weed. Let this rest over night and eat with your veggies - YUM! 3, Make a HUGE bowl of Greek Salad with grilled chicken and watch it disappear. 4. Definitely take a sugar free dessert (home made) so you won't be tempted. I am attaching my brownie recipe. If you make it, I'd love some feedback. :) 5. Make a container of spa water for all to share - you'll be a hit! 6. Finally, cut up some apple strips. Then, mix Smucker's All Natural Peanur Butter and Smucker's Sugar Free Hot Fudge Topping (in the ice cream section - in a 1:1 ratio) and serve as a dip for the apples. Back up - they are gonna grab this like french fries. wink Okay everyone, that gives you some options so you can head to the store today with a PLAN IN PLACE. Let's be the trendsetters, the victory dancers, the freedom fighters who CAN ATTEND, CAN EAT, AND CAN LEAVE WITHOUT GUILT AND SHAME. Amen!!!
