I subscribe to a lot of other recipe blogs and this past week or so there have been many posts showing appetizers and other foods that would be great to eat while watching the Superbowl on TV this weekend.
I don’t eat a lot of breaded type foods and I use cheese as just an accent in my recipes. I decided that I would write a quick post highlighting some of my recipes that would be nice alternatives to serve instead of just concentrating on the heavily cheese and carbo appetizers that everybody seems to make.
I understand that many of the recipes that people make have been family traditions for many years, and I am not suggesting that you lose this tasty part of your heritage- maybe you would like to fill in with a few of the healthier ones too though!
I have made several dips that are totally healthy, like the Shrimp Salsa at the top of the post. Here are a few more suggestions:
Dried Wild Mushroom And Sun Dried Tomato Topping/Dip
Mushrooms Stuffed With Prosciutto And Artichoke Hearts
Italian Sausage And Spinach Meatballs
Gluten Free Pizza With Italian Sausage
And for dessert- cookies! I won’t try to tell you that these are especially healthy, but they do taste great! All of these recipes are gluten free, but can be made with “regular” flour if you don’t have an issue with gluten.
Maple Pecan Cookies (like a Pecan Sandie)
I hope I have inspired you with my suggestions! Now don’t go too crazy with all of this and please enjoy the game!
I shared this post with Full Plate Thursdays at Miz Helen’s Country Cottage, Frugal Food Thursdays at Frugal Follies, Foodie Friday at Designs By Gollum, Fight Back Friday at Food Renegade, Finer Things Friday at Amy’s Finer Things, Friday Favorites at Simply Sweet Home
love all the goodies you have to share would make a super spread for the game
One of these looks better than the other. And healthy? I am THERE! Thanks for a luscious look at some really tasty looking dishes.
Thank you so much Pattie! I just felt like people needed some healthy and tasty alternatives to most of the “Super Bowl snacks” that were out there!
Oh my goodness Andrea,
