Are you ready for some FOOTBALL, FOOD?

Superbowl is this Sunday!
And whether you're a die hard fan (Go BRONCOS!) or you prefer the halftime show and the zany commercials...one of the GREAT highlights of this time of year is the FOOD!! From the dips and chips to the sweet and downright gooooey, it's fun to indulge a little on Superbowl Sunday. (Cheat meal, anyone?;) BUT if you're looking to do some lighter fare, or at least stay away from the fried chicken wings, we got you covered in some sticky drummies! Drummies, you ask? The meatier chicken cousin of the wing, it's a drummette! And it's baked not fried and it's easy and it's protein, so you're less likely to overindulge in those chips! And of course we had to give you our favorite healthier version brownie recipe, too! And heck, here's a dip, too! Happy Friday, Have a great SUPERBOWL weekend and GO BRONCOS!

Spicy Drummies in the Crockpot!

  • 2 lb. chicken drummies, thawed if frozen
  • 1/2 cup chili sauce 
  • 3 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 3 drops hot pepper sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

Pat the chicken drummies dry with a paper towel and place on broiler pan. Broil 5-6 inches from the heat for 8-10 minutes, turning often, until chicken is thoroughly browned. Place in 4 quart crockpot. Mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl and pour over drummies. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours. These can be held for 1 hour after the cooking time on LOW.

Skinny Ranch Dip
(for the Drummies to dip or great with Veggies, too!)
1 Tbsp. Hidden Valley Ranch Dry Mix
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
(if you need it to be a little thinner, add a few teaspoons of skim milk until desired consistency)

Whisk together ingredients in a small bowl until combined. Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days (or until the yogurt's expiration date).


2 Ingredient Brownies!



1 Dark Chocolate Fudge boxed cake mix (or any other "chocolate" flavor), any brand
1 15-oz. can pumpkin
(pumpkin is a substitute for the eggs and oil that add fat, cholesterol and calories to your brownies, so not needed!)
Mix ingredients together and bake according to box directions.
