I'm going to make a stromboli with ham, cheese, onions, pepperoni whatever. You can use low fat items for your filling. I use philo dough for the pastry to wrap it in and slice it up. It is always a big hit and so easy to make. You can also use pizza dough or Pillsbury biscuit dough. - 2/4/2011 4:57:34 PM

Chili is always a favorite. I might serve it over baked nacho chips which I realize is only slighty better than the Fritos I grew up with. - 2/4/2011 4:30:32 PM

I am lucky do not have to watch the game, my husband hates sports on tv. I have never seen a super bowl game, so no company and no extra food to prepare - 2/4/2011 9:55:02 AM

I use fat free cream cheese, dice up green, red, and yellow peppers, red onion, broccoli and tomato, then I put all of it in my food processor with a little skim milk, and that's the dip. then I get bagel chips (they are baked not fried) and that's my "chips and dip" for super bowl sunday...enjoy - 2/4/2011 8:46:28 AM

I can't stand football, but I'm dragged to my husband's grandmother's house every year for this stupid game! So I think I'm going to make the Buffalo Chicken dip recipe from SparkRecipes; that's always a big hit. Plus it will give me an option over the disgustingly unhealthy (and not particularly well-cooked) food my husband's grandmother will try to shove down my throat!

Then again, if we get as much snow here in Philly as they say we will, I might not have to worry about it at all... - 2/5/2010 7:33:44 AM

Many of us will work the next day- so eat healthy all day- leave a little room for indulgence if you choose, burt DO not over indulge! And remember- the alarm bell rings early the next day- get home at a reasonable hour! - 1/28/2009 6:35:16 AM
