    I love "game day" food like hamburgers, wings, chips, nachos, etc., but one can only take so much :lol:.

    Do y'all have any "game day" friendly food ideas that are relatively healthy?

    I'd be thrilled if there is some mythological amazing healthy food in this category.

    I made these buffalo cauliflower bites a few months ago and they were pretty good. Not sure how healthy they are once you add the flour and sodium from the buffalo sauce, but it might be worth a try.

    One thing I want to try is making burger patties and using portobello mushroom caps as the "bread."

    Chilli with high lean-to-fat ratio ground meat. Most likely, it'll keep you full for the whole game :grin:

    Texas Caviar is an amazing dip, if you like chips and dip. It doesn't actually have caviar in it. Its black beans, onion, corn, carrots, peppers, etc. I love it.

    This stuff is like COCAINE.

    It's not exactly "healthy", but it's not "unhealthy" either.

    Any kind of fruit would be great, too. My personal favorites are: blueberries, rassberries, blackberries, and apples. :slight_smile:

    Baked potatoes are good, just go easy on the butter. :wink:

    "Healthy" game day food? Blasphemy! :lol:


    Fresh veggies with ranch (I guess in this case "fat free" ranch or whatnot) is the best idea I can muster. Belle's fruit idea is also fantastic ~ "fruit tray;" I may even suggest that one to my family the next time we have the chance to be together for such an event.
