For most of us, cold weather and the Super Bowl are upon us and it is tradition to stay indoors watching TV and movies while the weather outside is cold and nasty. It is so appealing to snuggle under a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate and our favorite bag of munchies! It is also true that many of us have made New Year’s Resolutions to get healthier and exercise. This is actually the #1 resolution in North America!

What I want to share with you are some healthy snacks that taste great and will be crowd pleasers for that fun game night, Saturday Family Movie Night, the crazy Super Bowl party you are going to host.

Happy Hosting!

Healthy Hot Wings

Irresistible hot wings done healthy, I tried this out on my husband and 17 year old son and they asked me to make more!

1pkg of chicken drumettes, 3 packages of taco seasoning mix, 1 package of ranch dressing mix, 1 large skillet

The hardest part of this recipe is de-skinning the chicken drumettes. Please note, though, this step is completely necessary for the healthy factor. By removing the skins, you are removing the biggest source of fat, turning your chicken drumettes into totally healthy!

Pour your seasonings into a zip lock bag and shake, making sure the mixture is completely blended. Next, drop in your drumettes, shake and completely coat each one generously and set aside until your large skillet is preheated and ready.

Place your chicken drumettes in your preheated skillet, lid tilted to allow oxygen in, and let cook for 8–10 minutes. Rotate chicken and recover completely, whistle closed, and let cook an additional 12–15 minutes.

You will have the most yummy, tender, healthy hot wings! Garnish with celery and low fat ranch or blue cheese.

Healthy Stuffed Mushrooms

1pkg ground turkey sausage, 1pkg low fat cream cheese, soften, 1 container large whole mushrooms, Parmesan cheese

This is another simple quick recipe to fix! In your large skillet, place the turkey sausage, cover, and cook on medium heat until it whistles, stir and recover, whistle closed. And turn the burner to low. Allow to cook 5-7 minutes longer until the turkey is cooked through. Add your softened low fat cream cheese to the turkey, cover, whistle closed, and cook for about 5 minutes.  Meanwhile, clean the mushrooms and take stems out. When your sausage filling is melted together, remove from the pan and leave the juices. Put the mushroom caps into the pan, filling it completely. Place the filling dollop by dollop into the mushroom caps and generously sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Cover, whistle open, and cook on medium heat. When the whistle sounds, turn the burner to low and allow to cook for 10 minutes! So very yummy!
