If you’re having company, or you’re going to a Super Bowl party this Sunday, why not serve something a little different than the usual chips, nachos or a veggie tray. Suzanne challenged me to come up with some recipes that are healthier than the normal foods served, but ones that are just as good! I should admit that I haven’t tried the dip or wings recipes, but I fully intend to this weekend.

Let’s start with a dip that should be quite healthy:

Chicken wings:

Chili: (This is one of my favorites, though I minimized the amount of beans and I made a HUGE mistake the first time I made it. I added 4 cerrano peppers, only I didn’t seed them. It was sooooo hot)

If you get around to making any of these recipes, post your thoughts, we’d love to hear them.

Go Vikings…oh wait, that won’t be until next year.
