It’s that time of year again! In less than two weeks, millions of Americans
will be watching the biggest game of the year.
THE SUPER BOWL!! I remember the
first time I ever heard about the Super Bowl.
I was in 8th grade. It was the
Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills, and Michael Jackson on the half-time
show. I remember this because my parents
held a Super Bowl party in our house. My
dad loved (and still loves) to cook and had a great spread for us. I don’t remember what we had. I just know there was a lot of food, and a
lot of beer (for the grown ups), and we had a party ON A SUNDAY.
I have some friends that could care less about football, but
are Super Bowl enthusiasts. What’s not to
love? FOOD, FRIENDS, HYSTERICAL COMMERCIALS,
AND A KICK BUTT, SOMETIMES JAW DROPPING, HALF-TIME SHOW. Thanks to my husband, I enjoy watching
football. And on football season, you
can count on finding us eating hot wings and maybe other game day food EVERY
SINGLE SUNDAY. It’s our thing. I’ve been able to find healthier options. With the power of GOOGLE, we really don’t
have a reason not to try healthier options.
On Super Bowl Sunday this year, I will be on day 21 of the 80
Day Obsession, so I have to make sure I plan my meals accordingly even for
Super Bowl Sunday. I’ve rounded up some
new game day recipes that you can perhaps try on Game Day, even if you’re not
on doing 80 Day Obsession.
