Wanna join in the Superbowl festivities but not a fan of the heartburn, bloating and bad breath football food offers? While I love the idea of pigs in a blanket those lil' smokies can really pack a punch. Go ahead and serve them for the true fans but also offer an alternative using zucchini. Before wrapping them up in their doughy blanket, blanch strips of zucchini in salted water and pat dry. And pat dry again. I learned the hard way with soggy blankets one year so go ahead and pat them dry one more time. Bake as you would your pigs in a blanket and serve with some spicy mustard.
Another way to cut out the game day calories is to try leaving the cheese off one half of your nachos. Instead smother them with beans, sauteed spinach, salsa and lots of onions. These ain't yo momma's nachos!
For alternatives to those creamy, heavy dips, dish out some hummus and carrots, have a side of guacamole for your nachos and warm up some pesto and serve with garlic basil toast.
These healthy options will have you feeling great the next day, even if your team loses.
