A failed try at touting “healthier” game-day snacks; try mine instead

The weight-tracking app LoseIt recently sent me this article in its e-newsletter, 7 Popular Super Bowl Snacks and RDs’ Healthier Alternatives. (RD stands for registered dietitian.)

The concept is a good one, leave behind high-fat, high-salt munchies for others that are less damaging to your health.

These mini cups are low in fat and salt and sugar-free. Fill them with salt-free treats for Super Bowl munching.

Try filling mini-puff pastry for Super Bowl snakes.

But the items included largely left me shrugging my shoulders. Things like Jalapeño Cream Cheese Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Poppers never made my Super Bowl table.

The list has a Southwest tilt to it, again not what I usually eat for game watching. The turkey sliders are probably the only item of the seven listed that I would try.

So I’d say this list doesn’t cross the goal line for a touchdown. Much better are some of my past pieces:

Add yours

  1. Slice potatoes or sweet potatoes into French fry length. Put them in a pie dish.

    Coat lightly with olive or avocado oil.

    Sprinkle generously with mild red pepper and cayenne pepper according to your heat tolerance. Maybe add garlic powder (not garlic salt). Mix evenly by hand. Use plastic gloves.

    Microwave the mix 12 minutes to soften them up.

    Then put them in the oven broiler until they start brown up to your liking. And that’s it.
