Football is here. Get in gear for snacking with healthy choices. Here are my favorites, what's yours?

Lean ground beef mixed with lots of chunky salsa, made into meatballs, and baked.

Mini crab cakes, made with fresh crab, either sautéed or baked.

I know this is going to sound BLAH BLAH BLAH, but I've tried really hard to disassociate events like parties and sporting events with food....









NAH!!!!!


I love spicy wings. Buffalo, Korean, Asian glaze...

I make an awesome lotsa layer dip with yums in this order:
refried pinto Beans
red salsa
cheese
browned ground beef
cheese
whole black beans
salsa verde

guacamole
sour cream

cheese
black olives

HOT queso dip (non of that wussy mild crud)

mini stuffed bell peppers

stuffed/baked wontons

cheese stuffed meatballs

green chicken chili

Yum. I love football. I can cook all day and have an excuse not to leave the house.

If by football you mean "soccer," then I'd go with pints of London Pride and curry fries.

But... it'll be quite a long time before any of that passes my lips again.

(Sounding like Homer Simpson)

Mmmmm. Curry fries.

Even better... CURRY fries. Think amazing fries covered in a sweet and spicy curry gravy. I need a cold shower just thinking about them.

Ummm. Yeah. That too. There is NOTHING like a good curry fry or the sauce, itself.

Hey @LipstickLady-

Thinking those wings would be AWESOME with Curry Fries sauce.

@@LipstickLady Just saw you're in Va. If you're anywhere near Richmond, you have to try Bon Chon for wings/boneless strips. Easily the best wings I've EVER had. They're addictive as hell.

It's a Korean fast food franchise that batters their wings in a really light rice flour (I think) and then the glaze is like a lacquer. It's... *single tear* beautiful.

Yup. Live here, been there. The avocado salmon bomb is the perfect sleever food, too.

Girl. I don't eat fries!

Water.

Seriously when there are things and people are snacking or whatever which for us is GRAZING. I drink water, at the movies, at the bar, at concerts, at sporting events. Water. I chug it. It is the perfect time to get extra water in and water is calorie free. I sometimes get fancy and have unsweetened coffee or tea.

I eat before, and I plan on eating after. I also keep a protein bar in my purse for an emergency if I go more than 3 hours with eating.

Since the Bears are the Bears, not eating also helps keep my stomach from going in virtual knots

Football eats ?

Yup....got a few favorites for gameday meals. As you'll see.....most of them are vegetarian and uber healthy......or at least sleeve friendly.............

Guacamole is always good to me.

I was joking about the whole vegetarian thing, btw.

Herb smoked meatballs and stuffed mushrooms.

Wings and buffalo chicken dip.

Stuffed clams.

Beef brisket burnt ends.

Stuffed jalapeños.

'ritas.

Lobster tails & tuna steaks with wasabi.

Sliders.

Grilled asparagus with bacon upgrade.

An easy halftime food that can be made swiftly......ribeyes.

This one was grossly overcooked, in my opinion.

Bacon wrapped meatballs.

@@Dub I am drooling! If I come watch football with you - what team do I have to root for? I'm a Patriots Girl through and through!

I'm open to a new team- the Chicago Bears continue to be a disappointment.

C'mon over.

ECU Pirates, GA Bulldawgs and anyone who is playing against Florida State.

NFL = Texans and whoever is playing against the Cowboys

NBA = Cleveland

One of my favorite Patriots is now a Texan so that's all good!

Yup. We were glad to get Vince.

I imagine his leadership is big in the locker room.

I like that whole water suggestion. I ate last night before we went out to dinner. My husband was like "your not gonna be able to eat". DUH that was my plan. We were going to Spaghetti Factory. I ordered ice tea and sipped one glass through the whole meal. Didn't feel like I missed a thing. Now I plan to order water at my Rams games! Oh and last week I was good for 2 wings!!!

Hbrhonda, I do the same, eating especially before I go shopping also. Then when I get to a restaurant I order their smallest salad and munch on it.
