How to eat healthy during the Super Bowl
Super Bowl parties are exciting and a lot of fun, but the traditional foods served that are loaded with fat and cholesterol can leave you feeling not so great.
It really doesn’t have to be that way. Every year, my husband attends a Super Bowl party with a lot of his friends and everyone brings lots of food. Things like chicken wings, pepperoni pizza, and who knows what else.
When we switched to a healthier diet back in 2013, I began making lower-fat snacks for him to take like Crockpot Vegan Chili and BBQ Cauliflower Wings. Though he was a little concerned that the guys were going to give him a hard time, he was really surprised when they tried and liked the food.
The craziest thing was that they liked it so much, his healthy game day food has become an annual request from them. I am SERIOUS!
