March Munchies: Kale and Turkey Meatballs
Kale and Turkey Meatballs with Baby Potatoes and Roasted Peppers
Meatballs are a must when gathering to cheer on your favorite BBall team. Combining them with buttery, tender spuds for the classic meat and potatoes pairing is a match made in heaven. I add roasted red peppers and chopped kale to boost flavor and nutrition—and take this app completely over the top. Put it on a skewer to make it mess-free and you have yourself a winner. Make these Kale and Turkey Meatballs with Baby Potatoes and Roasted Peppers … and the Crowd.Goes.Wild.
March Munchies: Potato Chips
Chips are, obviously, a slam dunk for any sports-watching event! I’m benching the greasy, fried varieties and instead, moving these baked Potato Chips into the starting lineup. You have your choice of which veggie to make the star—white potatoes are an obvious choice—or you can go for a team approach and use a variety (mix in sweet potatoes, parsnips, beets and more). Give them a “shot” 😉!
March Munchies: Caprese Skewers
Caprese Skewers with Balsamic Glaze
Tomato and mozzarella are a dynamic duo—like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Shaq and the late, great Kobe, or Anthony Davis and LeBron James. They just work better together. The power pair is showcased in this Caprese Skewers recipe. Add the sweet and flavorful balsamic glaze (either homemade or store-bought) and it becomes a true fan favorite.
March Munchies: Strawberry Mango Slushy
While you and your pals are engaging in a friendly debate over whether that one game-changing play was a block or charge, you can also discuss whether this Frozen Strawberry Mango Slushy is actually a healthy beverage or dessert. It tastes so indulgent it’s difficult to believe there’s not a drop of added sugar. But the frozen fruit and the Mango LaCroix sparkling water provide all that sweetness naturally. That means you can sip without worrying which category it belongs in. Slushies for the win!
To make, combine 1 can mango LaCroix Sparkling Water, 1 cup frozen mangoes, and 1 cup frozen strawberries in a blender. Process until smooth and frothy. Pour into two glasses and serve.
March Munchies: Buffalo Chicken Nachos
Digging into a big platter of cheesy, meaty, spicy nachos is a necessity on game day, and this Buffalo Chicken Nachos recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Your family will love that each bite is loaded with crispy tortilla chips, fiery shredded chicken, and gooey cheese. It’s nacho average appetizer.
March Munchies: Cauliflower Buffalo Wings
Game-watching isn’t complete without a plate of wings. I like to whip up a version using one of the most versatile ingredients out there: cauliflower. Smothered in hot and spicy Buffalo sauce (another one of my favorites) and baked to crispy perfection, these Cauliflower Buffalo Wings will be a nutrition game changer for your spread.
