This week I am creating a variety of foods that are perfect for game days. They are all finger foods, and can be enjoyed by many people. Today, I decided to start with the traditional mexican eight-layer dip. When I found this recipe online, I knew that it was perfect because usually it is layered with calories and fat, but not this one. For this recipe, I used lettuce, fat-free sour cream, heated black beans, butternut squash cubes, tomatoes, onion, red pepper, veggie shreds, taco seasoning, and lime juice. For the meat component of this dish, I used a BOCA burger to keep the calories from building up. For one cup of this dip, there are only 100 calories! It's a great and easy way to start a party.
This week I have been researching various components of the food pyramid. The recently updated food pyramid incorporates all food groups: grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, and meat and beans. This pyramid ensures that by eating the correct amount of servings, you will have a healthy and balanced diet. Not only does this pyramid discuss the appropriate amount of servings one should consume, but it also depicts a ladder running up the side. This symbolizes the importance of daily exercise, for at least 30 minutes per day.
Today, I turned in my WISE midterm video, so hopefully it went well! For the rest of midterm week I am going to continue making recipes that can be considered "finger foods" and great for company or game day!
