Super Bowl snacks! I know it’s not the typical pizza, buffalo wings, nachos & chips spread, but it’s equally delicious and much healthier!… I know that’s what everyone is looking for when watching the big game! 
Fresh Guacamole
Bursting with flavor and healthy ingredients, this guac is as perfect with veggies or crackers as it is with traditional tortilla chips! I’m pretty heavy-handed with the garlic and lime juice because I love the bold flavors, but feel free to amp it up even more or tone it down if you prefer.
Ingredients:
* 3 avocados
* 1/4 cup salsa, or fresh-chopped tomato and jalapeno
* 1/8 finely chopped onion
* 2 cloves finely minced garlic
* 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro (optional)
* Juice from 1/4 of a lime
* Salt & pepper to taste
* Pinch of cumin
Directions:
Scoop out the “meat” of the avocado and mash into a bowl with a fork. Add in the salsa or fresh tomato and jalapeno, and onion. Stir in the garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper, and cumin.
That’s it – simple! Enjoy with chips, crackers, veggies, whatever your little heart desires!
Now for the spuds!
Martha Stewart’s Baked Sweet Potato Fries
These are slightly adapted from the baked fries on the Martha Stewart website here! They’re more like a thick-cut steak fry than a thin, flimsy fry, in that they’re hunkier and don’t get crispy all the way through. Trust me, I don’t usually like fries, and won’t touch a regular potato “Jo-Jo”…and I think these are super delish!
Ingredients:
* 3 large sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2″ sections
* 3 egg whites
* salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, & basil to taste (I used Italian seasoning)
Directions:
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a Silpat. Lay out cut sweet potatoes on a microwave safe plate, and microwave for 2 minutes. Flip and microwave another 2 minutes. Allow to cool while preparing the egg whites.
Separate 3 egg whites into a bowl and whisk until frothy. Once cool to the touch, dip each fry into the egg whites and allow to drain before arranging on lined pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and basil. Bake for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and flip the fries. Bake another 10-15 minutes. Test for fork-tenderness, and crispiness, and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until brown and slightly crispy. Allow to cool before enjoying!
And per usual, I’m suggesting dessert…..maybe Martha Stewart’s Coconut Cupcakes with Coconut Buttercream?
