In the fall, football lovers Sunday’s are dedicated to football. There is always a rivalry on Sunday (or Thursday and Mondays – so much football!) in my house. I am a big NY Giants fan and Adrian is a die hard Philadelphia Eagles fan. But we have one big thing in common.. we don’t like the Dallas Cowboys. We have gone to a few Giants/Eagles game together which has been fun, but always at Metlife stadium (where the giants play, if ya didn’t know). When you are on Giants turf and you’re wearing Eagles gear you will get taunted haha!
This year Adrian and I are playing in a survivor pool. Pick a different winner of one pro football game each week. Win, and live to pick again the next week. Lose, and you are eliminated. We are hanging in there so far. We picked the Jets this week to win. Cross your fingers for us! The pool started with 30+. Now there are only 15 people left.
With football viewing comes snacks. Dating a dietitian is a good guarantee that healthy snacks be included. Typical football grub like wings, creamy dips, pizza, etc. which can leave you feeling weighed down. Many of those food are heavy with saturated fats.
I’m going a little Mediterranean with this recipe to trim back on saturated fats and include heart healthy unsaturated fats instead. Sabra is the Official Dips Sponsor of the NFL which is fitting that hummus is our power player for this recipe. With its combination of chickpeas, sesame seeds (tahini) and healthy fats, hummus can be part of an eating pattern for health, including the well established Mediterranean diet.
Nine out of 10 Americans don’t eat enough vegetables each day, including nutrient-rich beans. Sabra is encouraging everyone #TwoSpoons of hummus a day. Just two spoonfuls a day will fulfill your bean recommendation for the week. How easy is that? Hummus can be versatile in your kitchen. Enjoy simply as dip for veggies, use as a spread in place of mayo, use to make a creamy dressing, or even to thicken soups in place of cream.
