game day recipes

It’s almost Super Bowl Sunday and that means football watching, jersey wearing, party hosting and, perhaps more importantly, it means saucy wings, spicy chili, and cool dips. You can get crazy with football foods (like stadiums made out of sub sandwiches?), but sometimes it’s best to stick with the classics. The recipes I’ve picked are for foods that will never go out of style when it comes to football parties.

Plus, luckily for all of us, grocery stores know what we want to buy this week, so lots of party supplies are on sale. If you’re looking for chips, hot sauce, or sodas, you can most likely find them at a good price this week (you can use the item search to find out where to get the best deals on the ingredients for your game day recipes).

The prices listed are an average price based on what’s on sale this week so you’ll have something to compare to your shopping list for your local grocery store.

                  A copy cat recipe to the amazing Mandarin Pineapple Dream you can get at Honey Baked Ham Company. Super Easy and incredibly delicious.

                  Last week I went into a Honey Baked Ham local store armed with a free coupon for a sandwich.  I decided to splurge on my free lunch and get a side.   They have the most amazing “fruit salad” I’ve ever had.  They call it Mandarin Pineapple Dream which is a very fitting name.  As I ate it I began dissecting it.  It’s very simple to make yourself and much cheaper  than to buy from them at $5.99 a pint.

                  I love that it takes no baking, or cooking and can be put together ahead of time.  This is perfect for a lighter dessert.

                  A copy cat recipe to the amazing Mandarin Pineapple Dream you can get at Honey Baked Ham Company. Super Easy and incredibly delicious.

                  4 Weight Watchers Plus Points

                  Ingredients

                  • 1 Can Pineapple Tidbits 20 oz drained
                  • 1 Can Pineapple Crushed, 10 oz drained
                  • 2 cans Mandarian Oranges, 11 oz, drained
                  • 1/4 cup Coconut, shredded
                  • 1/4 cup Pecans, chopped
                  • 3/4 Cool Whip 8 oz container

                  Directions

                  1. Drain all fruit in the same colander, leave in the colander and mash with potato masher (or just wash the bottom of an empty can and use that) to push out extra fluid and break up mandarin slices slightly.
                  2. Put fruit and all other ingredients into a bowl. Mix together. And eat!

                  Notes

                  If you don't have crushed pineapple, just mash harder or use a quick pulse of a food processor on any other type you do have. If you want to reduce calories you can do half low fat Cool Whip and half regular. It doesn't turn out that great to use all low fat though.
