Leftovers?

After making ribs, chicken, brown rice, etc.....there was a need to get rid of leftovers in a yummy way! It was cold this week and the best idea was SOUP!!!

I put it all in a stock pot, added chicken broth, fresh tomatoes, garlic, salt, and pepper and as Emeril says, "BAM!!"

I froze half and saved the rest to eat during the rest of the week for lunch..mmmm!!!

Super Bowl Time!

There is no need to feel guilty after eating at a Super Bowl Party. We did have kid friendly foods such as Hebrew's Pigs in a Blanket with Mustard and Barbecue weenies (used Hebrew weenies). We did have chicken wings for the guys to eat. However, there were so many other good foods, that if you wanted to eat healthy, it was tempting to go for those healthier choices...mmmmm!!!



Healthy Super Bowl Snacks:
-Chicken Spread
-Ham and Cheese Rollups
-Cheese Spread
-Veggie Tray
-Fruit Tray
-Crab Dip
-All Crackers were Fat Free or Whole Wheat (for those that needed to dip)
