Last night I had the privilege to talk with A Cowboy’s Wife on her new Blog Talk Radio show. I called in to share a few of my Healthy Super Bowl Snack Ideas. You can listen to the show here.
Colorful Nachos
Blue Corn Tortilla Chips
1 Can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained
1 cup low fat monterray jack or cheddar cheese
Lay chips out on microwaveable plate or serving platter. Spread black beans and Rotel over chips. Top with shredded cheese. Microwave 1-2 minutes until all cheese has melted. Serve warm.
Fruit Kabobs
Got any wooden skewers leftover from the summer grilling season?

Cut up all the fruit into 1 1/2 inch chunks. Place on skewers and serve with light yogurt dip. Have the kids help you. Make the snack preparation a family affair. And chances are they’ll get their fruit quota in for the day too!
Make a fruit salad for your Sunday breakfast and then use the leftovers to make Kabobs! You’ll like get at least 4 servings of fruit in for the day with this plan

Hummus
1 15 oz can garbanzo beans
2 Tbsp lemon juice
3 Tbsp
sesame tahini or natural peanut butter
3 1/2 Tbsp water or bean juice
1 garlic clove
Salt/Pepper, to taste
Place all ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth. Serve with fresh veggie sticks or whole wheat crackers!
But the really important questions are…
Who are you rooting for??? Do you even know who is playing??? (I didn’t…had to ask Hubs!)

I only just discovered the Super Bowl was even coming up. I figured it had probably already happened, lol. No clue who’s playing.
Snacks sound great though!

I am rooting for the Cardinals! Big Kurt Warner fan!!!

The fact that you had to ask the husband who was playing makes me like this blog even more! I’ve picked up some great tips from your blog. Thanks so much.

Thanks for being at the show!! and I think the fruit kabobs are the best idea ever!!
[Reply]
I like the fruit kabob idea! So simple too. And the hummus… never thought of using peanut butter in place of tahini. I’m gonna have to try that. Cuz hummus at our local grocer’s is atrocious for the amount rec’d! And well, I have a big bag of sesame seeds I’ve been meaning to make tahini with, but haven’t gotten around to it. Thanks for the post.

I never know who’s in the super bowl, but the Cardinals are going for the first time in 67 years!!! Plus, Kurt Warner (the quarterback) is an amazing man and a sold-out Christian, so how can you not support him!?!??

I am totally making the hummus, thanks for the recipe and I will absolutely be watching…. The commercials are my favorite part!

Thanks for the hummus recipe. I have been wanting to try one.

The hummus looks divine!
We are pulling for the STEELERS!!!
[Reply]
Thanks – I think I may make that chip dish. We are having people over. But I am not really a football fan. We are rooting for the Steelers though.

This Sunday will be the one and only time this year I say “Go Cardinals”
[Reply]
Here we go Steelers, Here we go!!
Here’s what I’m serving up:http://thecozycountryhome.blogspot.com/2009/01/super-show-down.html
But, if you’re going for healthy, here’s a great recipe that makes a great appetizer/finger food (with sourcream or applesauce for dipping!!)http://thecozycountryhome.blogspot.com/2009/01/chicken-and-wild-rice-pancakes-freezer.html

I am rooting for Kurt Warner – he’s an awesome guy! I live in St. Louis and have been a Bears fan for 25 years….even when the Cardinals were here.
It will be the first time I want the Cardinals to do well, but really it’s all for Kurt.

LOVE this blog!
I will def put a link to it on mine.
I’m not a football fan, but hubby and kids are. So we plan a big day for it. As a special treat, I got the kids $1.00 football cups at Roses (I was there buying $1.00 Nature’s Own bread), and we’ll have football-shaped brownies (we’ve done the chocolate rice crispies, as well), salsa, chips, Totino’s pizza rolls (on sale at Lowes Foods + coupon = $.50 per 7.5 oz. box), Peppridge Farm 3-layer cake – BOGO, and a few other things.
LOVE this site – can’t wait to tell my friends and family about it!!!
