Simple Super Bowl Snacks - Volume Two!

As we go to press, the Super Bowl Battle will begin in just 3 days, 21 hours, 58 minutes and 21 seconds! Here is yet another recipe for some healthier options for snacks on this fun and friend filled day!

Oven-Fried Zucchini Sticks

6 Servings

WHAT YOU NEED:
Canola oil cooking spray
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds zucchini (about 3 medium), cut into 1/2-by-3-inch sticks
2 ounces Eggology Egg Whites, lightly beaten

INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

Combine flours, cornmeal, salt and pepper in a large sealable plastic bag. Dip zucchini in egg white, shake in the bag to coat, and arrange, not touching, on the baking sheet. Coat all exposed sides with cooking spray.

Bake on the center rack for 7 minutes. Turn the zucchini and coat any floury spots with cooking spray. Continue to bake until golden and just tender, about 5 minutes more. Serve hot.

These yummy treats boast low calories (only 108 per serving), no fat and taste GREAT! Enjoy!

Helpful Hint: If you are only occassionally using Eggology Egg Whites, you can freeze them so that you have the convenience and goodness of organic Eggology Egg Whites whenever you need them!

Simple, Low Fat Super Bowl Snacks!

Sunday, February 1st is a historic day! Ok, maybe not as big as Inauguration Day, but a big day for all football fans, especially Steelers and Cardinals Fans! Fans are counting down to Super Bowl XLIII (43 for those that are too lazy to figure out what all the letters mean!) is only 5 days away. Perhaps it's the game itself, or the half-time show or the commercials that you are looking forward to! Since my team didn't make it to this momentous day, I will be looking forward to the FOOD!

Over the next few days we'll be offering up some eggcellent Eggology ideas for Super Bowl Snacks featuring our very own products! Let's start off with a super simple one, one for those of you that can't even boil water. You can still pull this off with great success!

No-Cook Low Fat Deviled Eggs
Yield: 16 deviled eggs

WHAT YOU NEED:
4 packages Eggology All-Natural Hard Boiled Eggs, halved lengthwise
8 oz. non-fat plain yogurt
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon minced pickles (my favorite are bread and butter pickles)
1 tablespoon finely chopped celery (optional)
dash paprika or chives (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Remove egg yolks and set aside the whites. Cream the yolks and all remaining ingredients except the paprika and chives, until combined. Fill egg whites with yolk mixture. You can use a spoon or for a more sophisticated look, use a pastry bag and star tip. Chill. Before serving, sprinkle paprika or some chopped chives on top for a more finished look and great added flavor.

It doesn't get much easier than that AND they are SUPER delicious!
