On Super Bowl night, most of the U.S. will be gathered in front of a screen somewhere. It may be at home alone or with groups of friends.
A large part of the fun of a super bowl gathering is the food. The food can be simple or complicated; it only needs to be tasty. This week’s recipes will help with that.
Our first recipe will give you something healthy and delicious to eat before the game starts. It’s fettuccine but with most of the fat and calories removed. The loss of calories isn’t even noticed because the dish is so tasty.
The second recipe is beef pizza bagels. You can change this around to suit your pantry or your tastes. Bagel or mini bagels make wonderful pizzas. You can even make fruit pizzas with bagels. Give it a try.
The third recipe is pecan baked chicken wings. You can’t have a super bowl party without wings. This is a different spin on standard wings.
The last recipe is crispy tortilla bites. This is a great Mexican finger food. You can make it hotter by adding jalapeƱos or other hot peppers to the mixture. You will keep this recipe for use over and over. It’s easy and delicious.
