annnewjerz Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 So, with the Superbowl coming up this weekend --- I wanted to see if anyone had any good recipes or ideas for compliant Superbowl foods. Rather than make a big dinner, I'll make a bunch of smaller finger foods to load up our plates with, so we still have the variety that all-afternoon snacking would provide, but will hopefully fit it into the meal template. I'd like to make Whole30 twists on some of the traditional football foods, but I'm struggling to come up with more than a few: Shredded buffalo chicken wrapped in a lettuce leaf (made homemade mayo last night, anyone know a way to get this to taste sort of ranch-dressingy?) Sweet chili kale chips Mini-meatballs in a compliant marinara sauce Zucchini fritters Deviled eggs That's where I'm drawing a blank. I would love a few more recipes that are a little more veggie-oriented, although meat dishes are welcome also! Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinSpin Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Baba Ganoush http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/2009/07/17/eat-your-vegetables-eggplant/ Could scoop it up with all kinds of veggies! Stuffed mushrooms, maybe a bunch of different types of olives marinated in herbs and olive oil? Cold poached shrimp with a compliant cocktail sauce or tartar sauce made from yummy compliant mayo?

EmilyB456 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I was going to post this question this week! These all look yummy! To turn our homemade mayo into Ranch Dressing, I add apple cider vinegar to taste, then coconut milk to thin. I add crushed garlic, dill, pepper, parsley, maybe some chives or Penzey's Fox Point seasoning...I really let my nose decide, and it always comes out yummy and will be great with Buffalo-style chicken! I'm sure there are more formal Ranch Dressing recipes out there, I'm just kind of a "dump and stir" person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshacklett Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm thinking of making some tostones...I'm actually going to a pre-super bowl party on Saturday (basically an excuse to have a get together), lucky for me it will be one of my dairy re-intro days, but I still want to steer clear of chips, crackers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I won't be doing Super Bowl this year, but I made these super-easy crock pot carnitas for the Falcons game and put them in lettuce "taco" shells with green chile salsa (and brought regular tortillas for everyone else). They were a big hit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annnewjerz Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 You might find this thread helpful: http://forum.whole9l...h__1#entry46752 Thanks, and yum! With so many good suggestions that I didn't think of, I have a feeling that a) this weekend I'm going to have a hefty grocery bill and there are going to be lots of "finger food" meals for a few lunches/nights after Sunday.

Kim Christensen Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Marinate whole unsliced water chestnuts in coconut aminos. Wrap in bacon - cut the strips in thirds and secure with toothpick. Bake until crispy. Crunchy, bacony, and salty sweet. So good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krista Billows Rodriguez Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm planning on making an assortment of these crunchy things: http://nomnompaleo.com/post/41605570388/whole30-day-27-paleo-chips-including-a-new-recipe-for plus a big batch of chocolate chile and maybe those chile lime wings that were posted above.

Kat1 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Awesome thread! I'm making some of the above suggestions plus I'm stuffing jalapenos with chorizo and baking then topping with guac. Mini-no-cheese-jalapeno poppers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny M Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Here's my barbacoa. It seems impossible to find chipotle peppers in adobo without sugar or chemicals but you can use dried chipotles and just add a little cayenne and more tomato paste. http://www.eatingforidiots.com/barbacoa-tacos-on-jicama-shells/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 There's a compliant Louisiana hot sauce with chipotle in it, not exactly a one-for-one swap, but loads of chipotle flavour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krista Billows Rodriguez Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 My bulk bins have a chipotle chile powder, a little bit goes a long way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshacklett Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Ok, I'm actually going to a tea party rather than a superbowl party, but I'm bringing firecracker tuna salad on cucumber slices, and spinach balls - those would probably go over well at a superbowl party.

Michaela Elmore Cogswell Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Johnny there is a compliant Chipotle. It's made by the Art of Chipotle and they even pre-blend the peppers and adobo sauce. I found it at my Whole Foods in California. Not sure if it's available across the country but here is there link. http://chipotlepeople.com/?p=319 It is both gluten and sugar free. I think it was 4.99 when I bought it, beats making my own or going without for 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comer928 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I made Ranch Mayo last night, I made a simple mayo and added the spices for a Ranch flavor from Stupid Easy Paleo's website..http://stupideasypaleo.com/2013/12/15/jalapeno-lime-chicken-wings-paleo-ranch-dressing-meatified/ 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon dried dill 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina R Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Chicken Wings. Check out http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2008/05/clifton-springs-chicken-wings-oven.html. I substitute almond flour for the regular flour and you may have to check the ingredients on the spices and hot sauces. I love this oven fried version because you don't have to babysit the wings during the party. Pork Ribs - http://www.thecookingguy.com/cookbook/recipe.php?id=312 Ignore his bbq sauce recipe it is not compliant. But the way he cooks the ribs is awesome. I usually put Mr Stubbs rub on my ribs, then put them in the pan with vinegar, cover with foil and cook 90 min. Then you can dip them in whatever sauce you like. I don't even grill them, I just eat them right out of the pan. They are so good! Coleslaw with a kick - This recipe is adapted from "The Low Carb Cookbook peppery coleslaw". Get a bag of shredded cabbage (if it has carrots in it it's even better) 4 Radishes chopped, 2/3 cup red onion finely chopped, 1/4 c Italian parsley chopped, 3 TBS fresh dill chopped. Mix all together in a large bowl. Dressing - 1 cup homemade mayo, 3 TBS cider vinegar (make sure it is organic and not grain vinegar with apple flavor), 1 tsp sugar (leave out on whole 30), 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp hot pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp salt. Mix dressing and then add to coleslaw mix. You may need to add more cider vinegar. I make this about 1 hour ahead and store in the fridge until ready to eat. You can make it the day before but sometimes it can get soggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
