Football Party Favors - Sure Fire WINNERS!

!±8± Football Party Favors - Sure Fire WINNERS!

Football is a big thing in my house, where we actually had a room remodeled and arranged to accommodate my other half and the fellas on game day! I although I am not a die hard football fan (just learning the game actually!), I do my part by having some eats ready for them - primarily so that they will STAY in the room while I enjoy playing canasta online---IN PEACE!

So here ya go with some of my classics that I use to "calm my savage beasts"!

To "kick things off" I would like to suggest cheese balls, they can be really attractive and easy to make, not to mention cheese and crackers with a cold beer are enjoyable for many!

You will need:

1 block of cream cheese
6 green onions (chop entire stem - 6 inches)
8 slices dried beef (chopped finely - optional)
*substitute chopped pecans, cashews or walnuts.

Combine cream cheese with the chopped onion and 2 teaspoons of the chopped beef;

Form into a ball once combined; roll ball in chopped nuts;

HINT: I will often take an orange and slice it into thin rings and cut then the rings in half. I will use the half circle pieces to frame the plate and place the cheeseball in the center. you can also toss a few olives on the orange slices... All Done! Serve with your favorite crackers and ENJOY!

Don't think I don't take short cuts, when you need something REALLY QUICK, like 20 mins or less - here ya go;

Zesty Sweets (Meatballs)

30 to 32 frozen meatballs (regular or Italian - your choice!)
1 cup of chunky salsa
12 ounce jar apricot preserves
1/4 teaspoons cinnamon

Combine the salsa, cinnamon and apricot preserves in a large saucepan and stir over medium heat until melted. Add the meatballs to the mixture and heat for additional 10 to 15 mins, stirring constantly. You can actually serve these from the slow cooker, just turn down to low once meatballs are hot and ready to serve.

Now if you would prefer to make your own meatball and we are still needing it to be done QUICKLY... then you will need:

3 cups of Bisquick
1 lb of hamburger
***(sausage and/or ground turkey can be used as well)
1/2 cup of milk
8 oz cheese whiz

Combine ingredients; shape into balls and bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. That's It - All Done!

Last but certainly not least, you have gotta try what I call PEPPI BITES! Here is what you will need:

1 (3.5 ounce pkg) sliced pepperoni
1 (4 ounce pkg) shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup of mayo
2 Tablespoons of pesto
1 (10 ounce cans) Refrigerated Flaky Biscuits
1 tomato, chopped

First you will want to preheat your oven to 350 degrees;
Combine you pepperoni, cheese, tomato, mayo and pesto;
Cut each of you flaky biscuits in half and place into a greased miniature muffin pan;
Spoon in 1 tablespoon of mixture into cup and bake for 20 to 25 mins.
No muss, No fuss... Mission Completed!

Diet Tips For Reducing Wrinkles and Looking Great

!±8± Diet Tips For Reducing Wrinkles and Looking Great

It is a fact that we're not getting any younger even though I believe we can look younger than our age. It is a fact that what we put into our body speeds up or slows down the aging process. It is also a fact that the lack of exercise puts on the weight and makes us feel blah. Our lifestyle has a lot to do with the way we look and feel. 
 
Reduce Wrinkles With Good Eating Habits
 
What causes wrinkles? Lifestyle, environmental hazards and genes cause wrinkles and wear and tear on our skin. But if we drink lots of filtered water, buy organic as much as possible, get plenty of rest, moderate amounts of sunshine on the skin, exercise, and eat a healthy diet we can slow down the aging process considerably.
 
We absolutely need to understand the difference between different food products. There are those that are natural and whole and there are those that are unnatural and incomplete. For an example an organic apple is natural and whole but canned applesauce is unnatural and incomplete. A loaf of whole wheat bread is natural and whole but a slice of white or wheat bread is incomplete.
 
Proper Elimination Is Very Important In How We Look and Feel
 
Processed foods tend to constipate us because most of the fiber has been taken out in the factory. If our diet consists of a lot of processed foods we will not digest the food in the gut properly. In fact this is why toxic buildup becomes apparent and we get sick with allergies, glucose issues, IBS syndrome, clogged arteries, high blood pressure and cholesterol.
 
So how can being constipated effect the way our skin looks? When we don't eliminate properly we have blotchy, dry or oily, itchy, pimply, rugged looking skin because the pores are not breathing-they are clogged up with toxins that are building up from not having good bowel movements. Toxins need to get out! When we eat it has to come back out if we want look, feel, and be healthy.
 
When we eat processed foods our digestion system becomes overworked trying to figure out what it is going to do with that food, and we don't sleep properly. We invariably wake up feeling tired, constipated, lack of energy, and ready to take a nap. The whole day is ruined because we did not wake up feeling refreshed and ready to start the day. This shows in our face because improper eating speeds up the aging process and causes wrinkles.
 
Incomplete Foods vs. Complete Foods
 
Below are some common food examples of incomplete foods and right next to it are the healthy complete version, which actually prevents clogged arteries, high cholesterol, glucose issues, and disease. For healthy looking skin you will want to substitute for the whole food versions. To reduce wrinkles and have glowing skin we need to eat more nutritious rich foods like fruits, vegetables, dark leafy greens, sprouts and whole-wheat baked goods and brown rice.
 
White rice vs. Brown rice, wild rice, brown basmati rice
Concentrated juices vs. Freshly squeezed juices, apples, oranges, grapes, etc
Canned soups vs. Homemade soups
White Flour vs. Whole wheat flour
Bagels vs. Whole-wheat bagels
Pizza Crust vs. Whole-wheat pizza crust
Flour tortillas vs. Whole wheat or corn tortillas
Cold cuts vs. Turkey, chicken, roast beef from the bone, pastrami
Pasteurized dairy products vs. Raw cow or goat cheese, milk, yogurt, and butter
Bisquick vs. Whole wheat Flour
Potato flakes vs. Whole potatoes
Donuts and pastries vs. Whole wheat pastry flour
Frozen dinners vs. Home Cooking
Frozen waffles and pancakes vs. Whole wheat waffles and pancakes
Chocolate/candy bars vs. A cup of cocoa with raw honey, homemade cocoa treats
Canned vegetables and fruits vs. Fresh, whole fruits and vegetables, dark leafy greens
Soda pops vs. herbal and green teas, fresh juices, filtered water
Refined sugar vs. raw honey, maple syrup, stevia, date and fig sugar, fruit sugar
 
If you're not eating that great now, don't fret too much over it. If you just take away one unhealthy food a week and substitute it with a healthy food you will notice a difference in the way you look and feel within one month. Remember this tip for healthy eating. If it has been processed in any way by a factory then it is not healthy. Always eat the food in its natural state and your body will surely show that you really are what you eat.
