Boneless Buffalo Wings

by Kris Pitcher

Ready or not, it's coming! The giant bowl of gooey dip, chips made out of I don't know what. The world's worst snack, the Frito. Plates of drippy nachos and twelve layered bean dips (although if I was hosting I would not serve that...). All of these and more will be layed out and splayed out for all day noshing in celebration of, you guessed it - football.

Specialty drinks will accompany the mile high sub sandwiches. Various sudsy, carbonated beverages laden with metabolism stopping properties. If this hasn't gotten you all psyched up for the big game tomorrow, I've got something that will. A decent appetizer to take to the party!

This one comes from Eating Well, and they've got others for you to peruse as well. This is a good opportunity for you to practice good food management, think ahead and make a plan. Me, well I'd just bring my cooler of meals...hey, there's an idea!

Some good rules to follow: eat your regular meals you're supposed to eat; no drinking alcohol (sorry, but it likely just doesn't fit the plan); take beverages you can drink; portion control your snacks; remember you're there to watch the game, not pack away 3500 calories in 3 hours.

Knowing there will be one thing on the buffet table you can actually eat, will be comforting. Here's a recipe you can try and your hostess will be happy you brought it. Enjoy the game and go Packers/Steelers! (See, I'm learning!)
