Healthy? On SUNDAY????

Today is a different kind of Football Sunday for me. Oh, I got a few people comin' by - that ROCKS.

No, it's the menu that is "different". It's healthy.

Football + Healthy Food. Huh. Kind of a new concept for me.

So what am I doin' that's so healthy? Well.....let's start with a slow roasted chicken. Add in some fresh green beans, steamed with just a bit of seasoning. Add in roasted sweet potatoes - with Splenda brown sugar substitute (new favorite thing) a bit of cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg. Fresh multi grain rolls finish out the main meal.

Now - since it's Harvey's Birthday Weekend, we gotta have cake. He requested my cheesecake, but I've lost the recipe in the move. Yikes!! So instead I'll make brownies with frosting. Now....for those of us being "careful" I also have a fresh fruit salad.

Instead of chips and dip? Crackers with a very yummy herb cheese.

Sweet tea make with Splenda baking mix - just enough sugar to make you THINK it's bad for you.

All in all, I think it's a pretty damned good menu. We can eat without care. AND I won't feel like I've got to work out extra next week to make up for this.

But it's different. And to be honest, I don't know how long I can keep that up. I mean, seriously.......Football Sunday is pots of beef stew. Jambalaya. Steak Sandwiches.

Roasted Chicken? Fruit Salad?

Well.....maybe I'll start a new trend. Who knows? We'll just have to see how this goes.
