Are you ready for some......food?


Ah, Superbowl Sunday, and that only means one thing to me, food! If it was only up to me, it would be very gourmet, but I do live with some seriously picky eaters! I've decided to lay out a kind of "tapas" spread that we could just pick at all day. Superbowl food screams fried, fatty, calories to me so I've come up with a few ideas to lighten the foods up. I will be taking full advantage of the beautiful and sunny 81 degree weather today and putting my BBQ grill to use. Another option is baking and broiling. So instead of those greasy, deep fried chicken wings that I adore, I will be sinking my teeth into juicy, grilled lemon herb chicken wings. Yes, I said it, absolutely no frying today! Even the onion rings will be baked? I know, I know, baked onion rings, oh the horror! But I am confident enough to believe that everything will be just as tasty, if not tastier, and the shear fact that they're healthier puts a smile on my face! So on the menu today is baked onion rings, grilled chicken wings, meatballs, mussels, baked spicy fries, zucchini chips, and mini pulled pork sliders. Go Super Bowl teams! What will you be munching on today?


                                         Nothing better than mussels, fries and a nice, cold beer!
                                         Thankfully my picky eaters enjoy zucchini chips!
                                         Mini Pulled Pork Sliders with a fresh and tasty slaw..
                                         Meatballs are always a hit, especially for the little ones ; )
                                         Ah yes, there they are, the unfried onion rings.........
