Super Bowl Treats

The Super Bowl is right around the corner and I have some awesome recipes for whatever viewing party you're attending! I have the perfect dips, a deliciously cheesy bread, and some decadent desserts. While it's important to eat right, it's also important to have a good time. Remember moderation! Not to mention, bringing your own dish will give you a reason to make something healthy for yourself... or naughty to make other people eat it.

Don't forget to follow me on Pinterest to find tons of other great ideas for appetizers, main dishes, desserts, cocktails, and more!

Light Guacamole Dip


Ingredients
3 avocados
3/4 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
1 jalapeno, deseeded, finely chopped
Juice 1 lime
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Baked tortilla chips or pita chips

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients. 
  2. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Serve with baked tortilla chips or pita chips.



Pepper Jack Cheesy Pull Apart Bread

Ingredients

1 whole wheat sourdough loaf
1/2 lb sliced pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 green onion, diced
2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
  2. Cut the sourdough loaf lengthwise and widthwise, but do not cut through the bottom. 
  3. Place loaf on a baking sheet with foil. Put slices of cheese in each cut. You may have to cut the slices of cheese in half to do so. 
  4. Combine the butter, onions, and poppy seeds and drizzle over the loaf. 
  5. Wrap a piece of foil over the loaf (doesn't have to be totally enclosed) and bake for 15 minutes. 
  6. Unwrap the bread and if desired place some more cheese in between the cuts and bake for another 10 minutes. 
  7. Let cool for a couple minutes and then pull apart and enjoy!
