Game Day Eats

That won’t break the bank or your goals!

My boys and I will be glued to the couch Sunday night taking in the game! Who are you rooting for?

Bucaneers or Chiefs?

Either way, I hope you enjoy the game and that you get to eat GOOD food! Here are some of my favorites that won’t bust your goals!

Guac is ALWAYS a Good Idea

Ingredients

4 ripe avocados (more if serving a big crowd!)
1/2 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, de-seeded and diced
Juice of a lime
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
Stir all ingredients together just before serving. To keep guac from turning brown, leave the pit of one avocado in while storing!

Loaded Sweet Potato Skins

You can make these ANYTHING you want!

Ingredients

• 3 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 slices bacon
• 5 oz. raw chicken breast, boneless, skinless, finely chopped
• ½ tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
• 1 Tbsp. Taco seasoning
• 3 cups spinach, chopped
• Nonstick olive oil cooking spray
• 6 Tbsp. shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 tsp.  sour cream
• Chopped chives (for garnish; optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400º F.
2. Place sweet potatoes on baking sheet. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until fork-tender. Cool until sweet potatoes can be handled.
3. While potatoes are baking, cook bacon in large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until crisp. Place on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble bacon. Set aside.
4. Add chicken to same skillet. Season with salt and Taco Seasoning; cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked through.
5. Add spinach; cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until fully wilted. Set aside.
6. Slice cooled sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out most of flesh with a spoon, leaving about ¼-inch of flesh attached to skin.
7. Place sweet potato halves, skin-side up, on baking sheet. Lightly coat with spray. Bake for 15 minutes, or until skins are brown and crisp.
8. Fill each sweet potato half with ¼ cup of chicken mixture. Top evenly with 1 Tbsp. cheese, and bacon. Bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
9. Garnish each sweet potato half evenly with 1 tsp. sour cream and chives (if desired); enjoy!
