Okay football fans, I need your ideas. For those of you who love to watch the Sunday (or other day) games with some munchies, what will you be serving to keep it healthy *and* tasty?

    Carrots and salsa
    Cut up a bell pepper into strips and top strips with mashed black beans
    Mini chicken lettuce wraps
    Homemade baked sweet potato chips

    Thanks for the ideas, all! Keep 'em coming. I love the lettuce wraps idea!

    Not a football fan, but some ideas are:

    1. seaweed chips (I like Annie for spicy wasabi or make your own by toasting nori strips after seasoning)
    2. kale chips (another type of chip you can eat a ton of)
    3. roasted chickpeas (a million ways to spice these up)
    3. corn, tomato, black bean salsa - eat with tortilla chips, baked potato chips, or just with a spoon (add rice to soak up liquids if you want)

    Try for things that are savory, a bit salty, and have a crunch!

    We typically try to plan a meal during football games so that we snack less and have our mouths empty for yelling at the TV :wink:

    Sunday is the first Patriots game for us so we're planning on chili in the crock pot. The recipe I use is from a low-carb slow cooker cookbook so it's fairly healthy but honestly I'll probably eat 2 servings over the course of the game and just skimp on my other meals throughout the day.
