One of the main reasons I can't get into American football is the frequent breaks and adverts but given the Super Bowl is actually known for debuting the best commercials of the year, maybe I'll watch. The other reason being the enormous lack of good looks (in my opinion) of American football players. Too bulky for me.
But the Puppy Bowl has no shortness of eye candy. The cutest pups ever actually.
Behold the promo for last year:
Seriously. It's like Christmas for Miss Giggs and Miss Busby. Scooby Snacks, Tuna, and for me...anything with cheese.
And one of my favorite winter recipes perfect for cold February and the year's biggest football game:
"Meat Lovers" Vegetarian Chili
I use Smart Ground soy crumbles for a meaty effect. You can use either the original or Mexican style for even more flavor:
Ingredients:
1 package smart ground
1 can light kidney beans, drained. Seriously. Drain them.
1 can no salt added diced tomatoes
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/3 cup diced peaches. Yes, peaches. It's delicious.
1 cup water
And I am lazy and just use the Old El Paso chili powder packet
In a skillet, add 1/2 cup water and the smart ground, breaking it apart into crumbles. Add the crumbles and the rest of the ingredients in a pot, bring to a boil, then put to low heat. The longer you let it sit, the better the chili.
Serve in a bowl and add reduced fat shredded cheddar. You're looking at only about 200 calories per serving.
Or go "Cincinnati style" and serve the chili over a plate of whole grain spaghetti. Delicious!
Hope everyone has a great Puppy Bowl/Super Bowl and.......Go Redskins?
