Its SUPERBOWL this Sunday!! I would like everyone to share your favourite dishes for SuperBowl (or any party)! What are some healthy options to bring/or have at parties? What are your tips when attending parties to stay healthy? Share them here!
Are you ready to be ARMED AND DANGEROUS?!

Follow up this arm workout with 30 minutes of your choice of cardio and enjoy the results. What you'll need: 5-12lb dumbbells (or use 2L pop bottles and add water to the bottle until you get the weight you want :happy: )

Baked Buffalo Wings
Ingredients
3 pounds drumettes and wings
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon butter
6 sprigs fresh thyme
10 garlic cloves, crushed
3/4 cup hot sauce
For blue cheese dip:
1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
Scallions to garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F, and lightly grease an oven-proof pan.
In a large bowl, generously season drumettes and wings with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
In a sauté pan over low heat, melt butter. Add thyme and garlic and allow to simmer for 3 minutes. Once thyme and garlic become aromatic, add hot sauce and stir.
Pour entire mixture over chicken and toss to coat. Allow wings to marinate in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine blue cheese and low-fat Greek yogurt in a small bowl. Mix well, and refrigerate.
Transfer chicken to oven-proof baking dish and place in oven. Bake for 30 minutes; with tongs or a fork, flip and baste wings.
Bake for 25 minutes more, occasionally basting wings while they're in the oven.
Remove pan from oven, and allow wings to slightly cool in pan. Baste with juices, and serve with blue cheese dip!

YUMMM!!! I wonder what you could substitute the blue cheese for... I am not a blue cheese gal, maybe just some seasonings?!0 -

Do you like ranch? You could mix a packet of ranch seasoning with low fat sour cream. It's not your typically runny dip but it would be tasty!0 -
I enjoy humus and pita chips.

Mmmmm...I love Hummus! Can not wait for the recipe
Ingredients:
1 can Chickpeas
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cumin
I also add about 1 tbsp of Garlic and Chili Powder to taste
I blend all the ingredients together in my magic bullet. Sometimes it is thick so I add water until I get the consistency I want! Super easy, so healthy and way better than eating the extra ingredients that are in the store bought hummus! :happy: You can keep the hummus for about 3 days refrigerated in an air tight container.0 -

Hey Team Jillian!
I have been down in the dumps lately and I apologize for not being more involved.
I just did the upper body strength training sets... Feels good to be doing at least something!

Good Morning,

Well just in case. I really don't have any tricks. I just try to burn as much as possible in an hour to an hour and a half. 0 -
