Ours isn’t a family of sports addicts. You won’t see us gathered around a big screen television watching the Super Bowl this Sunday.

For a number of reasons.

1. We don’t have cable
2. We don’t have a big screen television
3. We wouldn’t want to – well ok,  one or two of us would but number 1 & 2 take care of that.

For me, the only enjoyable things about the Super Bowl are the commercials and the food. So last year we started our own “Big Game” and enjoy the snack foods and play a cut-throat game of Shanghai Rummy (you can find some rules for the game here and here. We say “runs” instead of “sequences”)

Any way, I’ve been browsing the interwebs this week looking for recipes to try. Recipes that are semi-healthy, that is.

Here are a few I’m thinking of trying.

Macho Nachos from I Wash, You Dry

Hot Italian Sandwiches from Wonky Wonderful

The Best Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip from It’s a Keeper

Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip from Skinny Taste

Easy Hot Wing Nachos from It’s a Keeper

Spicy Spinach Crab Cups from Jersey Girl Cooks

Honey Glazed Chicken Wings from Recipe Girl

Mini Meatball Sandwiches Pioneer Woman

And I have to throw in a dessert or two or there will be a mutiny!

Margarita Cupcakes from Recipe Girl

Nutella Caramel Hazelnut Brownies from Bell’alimento

Super Bowl Chocolate Crunchie Munchies from Fuji Mama

Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies from Evil Shenanigans

Kahlua Brownies with Browned Butter Kahlua Icing from Recipe Girl

Now I just have to decide which ones to try!
