Okay losers,
I know I have not been on for awhile. Been quite busy trying to get someone around this lovely part of the country to take notice and offer me a job. Maybe this year will be lucky for me in that regard.
Now, lets get down to the losing end of things. Today is weigh in day for the month. Remember Todd's challenge, hope everyone did well. Please get your weights in to me as soon as possible and yes I will post the winner either tomorrow if I have everyone or hopefully by Monday.
Weighted down poems.: Well, we had a tie, not enough of you voted. You have to get out and vote people. This is the season for change, get out and vote. Anyway, the winners were Todd and myself. Can't give myself a prize, but Todd will be getting one. Hurray for Todd.
I have a super bowl challenge for everyone. I know that many of you are not abit interested in the football games, however, it is hard not to get into the spirit of the games if for nothing but to watch the comical ads during the game and you do hear alot about foods to serve during a super bowl party.
Well, here is my challenge. Take a typical food item that might be served during a super bowl party and alter it to make it healthier. Lets see what we can do to make a few changes there and we might just share some healthier ideas with each other.
I will start it off with my recipe for
Chicken bites:
You will need the following ingredients.
Skinless chicken breast
Rosemary
Honey
garlic powder
orange juice
Cube the chicken, sprinkle it with rosemary and garlic powder, and put on a skewer. Grill it until brown and done, maybe 8-10 minutes. In the meantime, take a couple of tablespoons of honey and orange juice and heat them up to pouring consistency. Pour this over the grilled chicken cubes. Serve the chicken with other finger food, such as baked sweet potato wedges, grilled veggies, that sort of thing.
They are super good, very good for you and much better than barbequed chicken wings.
So, weights in everyone. Good luck with that. All you midwesterners, please try to stay warm and safe.
Have a great Super Bowl day. Lets share some recipes.
Have a Great weekend Losers.
Hurray for Todd/ Poet Weighty meritus!!!!!

Usually for super bowl gathering I make the following I call goop
ReplyDelete1 pound sausage
1 large block velveeta
1 onion
1 large mild salsa
THIS year I am modifying it to be a bit more healthy
1 pound ground cooked turkey
1 large block reduced fat velveeta
2 cans rotel tomatoes
1 small jar mild salsa
served with chips, this should bring down the calories...some
Congratulations to poets Susan and Todd. Good going!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the recipes. I'll see if I can get motivated to fix some Super Bowl snacks for Bob.
We are taking GOUP to our party. GOUP is a sausage/cheese chip dip. We are "healthatizing" this dish by using low fat cheese, and turkey sausage. Add the salsa and that's the recipe. I am also going to make sure I work out a little more tomorrow so I can ahve a few extra calories at our party.
ReplyDeletewhooah, was my healthy version of goup yucky, it tasted nasty to me...bummer
ReplyDeleteKristy, I made your goop and it was good. I didn't use low fat cheese, though. I just used a little bit of velveeta and a can of nacho cheese soup. I added what I had of a jar of mild salsa. Bob and I loved it! My experience with low fat cheese or low fat cream cheese has not been good. If you're gonna have a snack, then just have it.We didn't eat all that much, so I don't think we did that much damage. It was the only snack I fixed anyway.
ReplyDeleteJill,good call, should have stuck with the regular Velveeta, I think that is why is tasted so bad to me. I will use the "good stuff" next time.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know who won the weigh in? (Not me for sure)
SUSAN! WAKE UP! We can't hold our breaths much longer waiting for the last weigh in results.
