A Tasty Trifecta





*Only 3 ingredients
*These look much fancier than they really are - very easy to make! 
*Perfect with wine






*Healthy
*Vegetarian (but men love them!)
*So simple
*Perfect for parties




*My fav dip
*Vegetarian
*Addicting (you will eat the whole bowl..I'm warning you now!)


recipe: There are many different versions of this dip! For the superbowl, I used this Cowboy Caviar recipe. However, I posted a different Weight Watchers version here.


I'm a firm believer in indulging and eating until your stuffed once in a while, especially during the Superbowl game. Our friends had us over to their house for a Superbowl party and there was so.much.food. I made the southwest egg rolls & cowboy caviar for the party and everyone loved them. The men even commented about the vegetarian egg rolls and couldn't stop eating them!


This recipe isn't included in the trifecta above, but I really think ALL of you need to know about these. I don't know what took me so long to make them, but they are a must in our household now...

an added bonus?
Kale is the #1 superfood right now (or so I hear..)


Kale Chips



Directions:

Rip kale leaves into chip size pieces (make sure they are washed.) Put them in a large bowl and toss with 1 tbls EVOO. You don't want to use too much EVOO or the leaves will be wilty. Toss leaves with sea salt. If you want to make them spicy like I did, toss with paprika or chili flakes. Spread them on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Cook at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until crispy.

Enjoy :)


...then after you make all this food?

Plop yourself on the couch
 and be proud of what you just accomplished.

aka...
not move for hours.
