Super Bowl Sunday equals Super Bowl snack time. Every year we look forward to snaking on tasty fatty items like chips, dips, wings, and pizza. This year I'm going to strive for healthier snacks. I know that sounds boring, but I've found some delicious dishes that just might work! Offer your guests these 'better-for-you' alternatives to the classics. With tasty food like this, you won't even miss the guacamole, ranch dip, or chicken wings! Yea!
