WF'S SUPER BOWL LINEUP!

It doesn’t matter if you are a Bucs fan, a Chiefs diehard or if you just watch for the epic new commercials every year!! Super Bowl Sunday is always a fun day to break out the festive feast.

This year WF’s making a few healthy tweaks to the menu combining the more decadent treats with healthier cooking options or simply adding a few more vegetables.

WF’s Superbowl Lineup

Fresh Guacamole and chips

According to the California Avocado Commission approximately 26 million avocados are sold to prepare 8 million pounds of guacamole for the big game! WF’s recipe is a guaranteed fan favorite.

Ingredients

  • 3 avocados
  • 1 lime juiced
  • ½ c onion
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt

Mash the avocados and add in the remaining ingredients.

Happy Dipping!

Hummus and Veggie Sticks

There are many natural and delicious hummus brands on the market today, so if you are running short on prep time – this is an easy one to just pick up while you are shopping for your feast. This year WF is going to cut corners on the hummus prep and spend our time chopping up a range of veggies – so if we are tempted to snack during what promises to be nail biter of a game – we have a rainbow of veggies to choose from.

One of WF’s favorite app’s is the new twist on the traditional charcuterie board. This is a fun way to customize this appetizer for every member of your family. Start with a mini mason jar and let everyone add in exactly what they love – from nuts and dried fruit to mini brie wheels and skewers of prosciutto.

Rosemary and Garlic Lamp Lollipops

One of WF’s favorite finger foods are lamb lollipop classically seasoned with rosemary and garlic. Combine fresh rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. Marinate the lamb for at least an hour and then sear the lamb on each side until browned (med rare) and let stand for 3-5 minutes. WF’s uses the Staub Grenadine grill pan to create a masterpiece every time.

Dry Rub Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are definitely a fan favorite for Super Bowl Sunday – with over 1 Billion wings eaten every year! Since many of us will be at home celebrating instead of heading out to celebrate with friends – we don’t want to take any chances with this menu staple. The best way to guarantee your wings are cooked to perfection is to invest in an Air Fryer. The Air Fryer has revolutionized the art of homemade chicken wings. Not only do they crisp up like the ones you enjoy at your favorite wing chain – they cook fast, with NO added oil. Super healthy!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sweet paprika
  • ½ tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning

Combine the ingredients in a large bowl.

Toss in the chicken wings and rub the seasonings into them with your hands until fully coated.

Arrange chicken wings in the basket of the preheated SBoly Air Fryer, standing up on their ends and leaning agist each other.

Cook until wings are golden brown on the outside, about 35 minutes.

Sliders

Sliders are always a crowd pleaser….you can stick to the OG beef on a fresh brioche or opt for a keto friendly version by wrapping it up gorilla style in a fresh leaf of lettuce.
