I love hosting a Super Bowl party, but of course, I always want to offer up healthier options (that are so darn delicious nobody notices they’re healthy!). Thanks for all the terrific new inspiration!
Geena says
The Buffalo chicken dip was a HIT and no one knew I had changed up the recipe to make it healthy!!!!
Spinach and Artichoke dip tasted fantastic as well. The consistency is a bit abnormal but didn’t take away from the flavor.
Loved having these healthier options and I will definitely be making them again.
