    Something to dip those celery sticks and carrots into!

    Also, I am making flank steak pitas : http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/london-broil-sandwiches-with-yogurt-cucumber-sauce-10000000258536/

    And chili, but using cubed bison instead of beef.

    Healthy, but a bit of a splurge! It IS the super bowl, and it's better than wings, beer and pizza!

    Kale Chips.

    Kale, spray on olive oil, season. Bake at 350 for 17 mins.

    Try it, you'll never want potato chips again.

    Aside from the other, non-healthy options, my family demands kale chips, artichoke/spinach dip with honey whole wheat Special K crackers (I'm addicted), greek yogurt and onion dip with veggies, and stuffed jalepenos with corn flake batter.

    My wife told me yesterday that she wants "real pizza," meaning "not pillsbury crust or turkey pepperoni and not made in our own kitchen." Which I'm OK with. Moderation, right?

    Aside from that I was thinking about some buffalo chicken wontons (wonton wrapper, a little shredded, cooked chicken breast with some buffalo sauce and a bit of cream cheese, baked at 350 for 10 minutes or so, I'm going to make it up as I go) and maybe doing the same thing for some cheese sticks. We might do that for lunch.

    Otherwise it will just be the pizza and maybe a beer or two.

    Whats healthier 600 calories of celery and carrots with ranch dressing, and still craving something more, or 800 calories of pizza n wings and feeling satisfied...

    THere are healthy ways also to do baked hot wings, just make your own sauce that is not bbq, i had found one that had vinegar and a few other things that was really good some of the best wings i have had.

    Also you can do healthy baked chips and home made pico de guilo (white onion, tomatos n cilantro) or if you like a quick easy, spicy version of salsa, buy a can of rotel, they even have a habanero flavor one, yum.. then a bunch of green onions, cilantro, chop up green onions and cilantro and mix in with the rotel tomatos and enjoy.. just remember not to eat the entire bag of healthy chips, some have a laxitive type ingredient that can give ya the shooters.. toot toot.. laugh.
