Putting the
"Super" in Super Bowl
You already know that football rocks the Calkins house, so it’s no surprise
that we’re pretty excited about this year’s Super Bowl (the only bummer being
of course, that the Bengals are missing).
The ads! The halftime show! The drama! And of course – the food! The Super
Bowl is essentially a holiday in many American households, and we celebrate it
in that classic all-American way: with lots and lots of food. In fact, it’s
the second HIGHEST food consumption day of the year! Yes, right
behind Thanksgiving!
Considering the fact that the Super Bowl comes hot on the heels of the holiday
season, falling right at the point where many of us have finally gotten our
eating back on track, a Super Bowl party can create quite a nutritional
challenge. This year, head the calories off at the pass by hosting your own
Super Bowl party – the HealthStyle way! A few easy tweaks and you can have all
the taste without adding inches to your waistline.
Skip the frozen food aisle! While those packaged Friday’s appetizers look
tempting and are certainly easy to make, they are incredibly high in fat,
calories and sodium. Keep recipes as simple as possible and stick to fresh
ingredients; the fewer processed foods, the better.
When preparing old favorites, use low-fat or fat-free ingredients wherever
possible. Low-fat sour cream, ranch, mayo and cheese are nearly undetectable
in a dip recipe. Even better, have some hummus on hand for a tasty healthy
dipping option. Turkey and low-fat ham are great sandwich fixin’s. Find an
artisan whole-grain bread to make sandwiches special while also sneaking in
some filling fiber.
Turkey versions of pepperoni and hot dogs also work well. Throw a turkey dog
or organic chicken sausages in your pigs-in-a-blanket and see if anyone
notices. Instead of chicken wings, serve grilled chicken strips with buffalo
sauce or spices.
Make sure you have plenty of fruit and vegetable platters on hand – they pack
a mean punch in terms of filling you up with high quality nutrients, without a
ton of calories.
Put your Crockpot to use with turkey chili, extra-spicy to satisfy the manly
men. Or make a vegetarian black bean version. Meatballs can also be made with
ground turkey; with the sauce, it will be hard to tell the difference.
When it’s time for dessert, try substituting plain applesauce for half the oil
in brownies or other baked goods; Egg Beaters for regular eggs; and frozen
yogurt instead of full-fat ice cream. Edy’s and Ben and Jerry’s have amazing
frozen yogurt that will satisfy even the most hard-core ice cream lover.
Here’s to a super Super Bowl! May the best team – and your best you – win!
