Super Bowl Snacks

I have a food problem, (duh, look at my weight) I love to entertain and cook for people. I have been scouring the internet trying to find low fat, delicious crowd pleasing recipes. I have been testing some out the last few weeks and I am happy to report the following recipes back to you. I loved them, Hubs loved them and anyone that tried them loved them!


 Buffalo Style Stuffed Celery (Weight Watchers 1PP)

1/2 cup(s) low fat cream cheese, softened   
2 Tbsp blue cheese, softened 
1/2 tsp minced garlic   
1/4 tsp table salt 
5 rib(s) (large) uncooked celery, cut into 4 pieces each 
2 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce, or to taste   
1 Tbsp chives, fresh, chopped (optional)   

• In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese, blue cheese, garlic and salt until smooth; spoon about 1/2 tablespoon cheese mixture into each piece of celery.
  
• To serve, arrange stuffed celery on a plate, drizzle each with about 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or let guests add their own by serving the pepper sauce on the side). Sprinkle with chives if desired. Yields 2 pieces stuffed celery per serving.

 Cauliflower Poppers (Weight Watchers 0 points)

1 spray cooking spray

1 head (medium) uncooked cauliflower

1/2 TSP chili powder (More to taste)

1/2 TSP table salt

1/2 TSP lack pepper

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  
• Cut cauliflower florets into bite-sized pieces (there should be about 4 cups). Place cauliflower in a medium bowl and add cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper; toss well to coat.
  
• Spread cauliflower on prepared baking sheet and bake until cauliflower is tender, but not mushy, stirring halfway through, about 10 minutes. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.

 Creamy Mexican Dip (Weight Watchers 1 points per serving)

1 cup(s) plain fat free yogurt, Greek-variety recommended 

1 cup(s) plain fat free yogurt, Greek-variety recommended

1/3 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, chopped   

1/2 small uncooked red onion(s), chopped 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp table salt, or more to taste Garnish  1/4 item(s) (medium) avocado, diced 1 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped   1 Tbsp (chopped) uncooked red onion(s), chopped   In a medium bowl, stir together yogurt and salsa until blended; stir in remaining ingredients except garnishes. Cover and refrigerate up to 1 day. When ready to serve, transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with garnishes. Yields about 1/4 cup per serving. This dip combines all those favorite Mexican flavors like salsa, avocado and cilantro using fat-free Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It also makes a wonderful topping for tacos or other Mexican foods — and then you don't have to set out separate bowls of salsa, sour cream, avocado, cilantro and onion. Ok, your turn - share some of your favorite, go to healthy crowd pleasing snacks :)
