Skinny Buffalo Wing Hummus

Sunday Football...

It's a ritual around our house!

Come fall, we slowly but steadily start to alter our schedules and plans around football games. It's strange how it happens so unintentionally but for some reason it happens. We just love football.

 There is always the yelling {cursing}, arms in the air, charging the TV, 'bad call ref' shenanigans going on and there is normally never the same fans in a room at one time... hence more fun in the screaming matches.


There is also something else that always comes along side with football, especially on Sundays... food! I swear it's true that even women that do not watch or enjoy football can entertain the idea of a game because it always brings a crowd of people and amazing food.


Wings: Beer: Chips: Dip: Chili: You Name It!!!! It's there, and it's being devoured. 

Again in keeping with my healthy theme and healthy waist, I had to find something for me to devour on Sunday Football that kept me in fall football spirits without greasing down my insides to a cholesterol comma. 

Win! It's like all the magazines I subscribe to are listening to my every request. Food Network Magazine just came out with an issue that highlighted skinny hummus dips and of course one was a Buffalo Wing Hummus. SCORE.

Of course this was the easiest thing to make EVER because you just throw everything into a processor and bam, it's done. I served this up with veggie sticks and a stacker of those freshly popped rice cakes for the food store and it was a huge hit. You still had the buffalo kick that you get from chicken wings but instead of deep fried you got fresh flavor!


Easy snack, fun to serve up, and health nut or not...this was loved by all.


Get ready for the kick off and the crowd with this awesome hummus dip!
