Super Bowl Sunday!

Even in the midst of a junk food extravaganza like Super Bowl Sunday, we Boulderites like to stay on the healthy side. For Sunday's dinner, I'm going with my very favorite chili, which just happens to be vegetarian, black bean chili with butternut squash and Swiss chard, originally published in Bon Appetit. Three small cans of beans is a bit much, so I prefer one large can instead (big 25 oz can of Westbrae organic is on sale at the Pearl Whole Foods for $1.50, less than the price of one small can). Also chicken instead of veggie broth, unless you're looking for a truly vegetarian dish. Either tortillas or my favorite green onion corn bread on the side (maybe with some chopped roasted chiles added), and of course a giant salad. Guacamole (avocados 39 cents at Sunflower!) is a must, and maybe a few wings, but nothing truly gross. Recipes for pigging out are everywhere. The most appealing, healthier spins I've seen as a group are the ones published in Whole Food's blog. Let the Saints come marching in!
