The Big Game: Super Bowl 2013

Today is the day!  Do you have your food choices planned?  If you are going to someone else's house for the big game, stop on the way and pick up a veggie tray!  Just because you aren't preparing the food doesn't mean that you can't have control over it.  You ARE in control over what goes in your mouth!  Be sure to track everything you eat!  That will help you keep your eating and calories in check.  According to Fox News we consume about 1200 calories during the Super Bowl.  That's a scary thought!



Here is a delicious recipe for you to try!  We will be serving this up in our house for the big game!

Southwestern Egg Rolls
1 lb ground turkey
1 small onion, chopped
1 c. canned black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
20 egg roll wrappers

Preheat oven to 400.  Cook turkey and onion in a skillet over medium heat, break into small pieces.  Stir in the spices and continue to cook.  Add beans.  Place egg roll wrapper on work surface in with a corner pointed towards you (like a diamond shape).  Place 2 tablespoons of filling on the wrapper.  Fold the bottom of the wrapper towards the center and roll once, then fold the sides in. Roll towards the top when you have a small diamond at the top use a small bit of water to wet the edges of the wrapper and finish rolling to seal it.  Place egg rolls on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.  Bake about 15 minutes and flip at least once to get a golden brown on all sides.

Dipping Sauce

1/2 c. enchilada sauce
1/2 c. fat free greek yogurt

In small bowl mix well.

Enjoy the game, commercials, half time and your friends!  Just don't over do it with you food!  :)

You CAN do this!
