Healthy Super Bowl Fare for the Big Game!

by Ruth Ungerer
It's almost Game day! I'll be going to a friend's house where there will be a wide variety of appetizers. I'm sure there will be lots of the typical Super Bowl fare.....wings, nachos, fattening dips etc. If you implement the 80/20 rule, you might use this as a time to indulge a little, but I always prefer to eat healthy because my body appreciates that so much more. Below are some great options to bring to a party or to serve to your own guests. Remember, even though they are healthier, you still need to watch your portions and enjoy them in moderation. Got it? Alright then, here are some options you may want to take to your game day soiree. Enjoy!!!

Zucchini Fritters with Garlic Herb and Yogurt Sauce

This dish is perfect to take on a picnic or to a potluck! All I can say about this dish is yum, yum. It is one of my all-time favorites! 

Fritter Ingredients:

  • 1 large zucchini (or 2 small ones)
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil 
  • 1/4 cup fresh oregano, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 organic eggs or Flax Egg
  • 1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

Dip Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan 
  • 3/4  cup greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup scallions
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate zucchini. Place zucchini in a colander set in the sink and toss with 1/2 teaspoons salt. Let stand 10 minutes, and then wring zucchini dry in a clean kitchen towel to remove moisture. Place zucchini in a large bowl and gently mix in egg, garlic, basil, oregano, lemon zest, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine. Slowly add flour, stirring so no lumps form.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until the oil sizzles when you drop a small amount of zucchini mixture into the pan. Carefully drop about 2 tablespoons zucchini mixture into pan; repeat, spacing fritters a few inches apart.

     

      3. Cook fritters until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Lower heat to        medium. Turn fritters, and continue cooking until golden, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer fritters to a plate; set aside in a warm place. Cook remaining zucchini mixture, adding more oil to the pan if necessary.

Serve with yogurt sauce

    • Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Please, contact him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR Whats App him +2348167159012 to help you too

    • DONT LET SCAMMERS GET AWAY WITH YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY , GET IT BACK NOW !

      I’m forever grateful to Jetwebhackers for their remarkable assistance in recovering the $38,540 I had lost to a crypto scam. This amount was meant to cover my husband’s urgent hospital bills, and I was deceived by a fraudster posing as Agent David, who promised me a return of $380,940 – but it was all a scam. Thanks to Jetwebhackers’ expertise and dedication, I was able to recover not only the initial investment but also the profit I was promised. Their help has been a blessing to my family, and we can now focus on my husband’s recovery without financial stress. I highly recommend Jetwebhackers to anyone who has fallen victim to crypto scams. They are professional, efficient, and compassionate. Thank you, Jetwebhackers, for your exceptional service and support during a difficult time!"CONTACT THEM VIA
