Chili loaded with cheese and sour cream is a classic recipe that so many of us watch during the big game. If you’re looking for a more figure-friendly option, try this dish made with lean ground turkey, fresh veggies, capers, raisins and spices. The flavor is irresistible. Score!

We all love chowing down on chips and guacamole, but our waist line does not. This traditional recipe is made with ripe avocados, minced jalapeño, fresh lime juice, red onion, kosher salt and cilantro. Serve with Rustic Whole Wheat Tortilla Chips or celery sticks.

Swap out the potato chip for kale chips! We love kale chips because it’s loaded with protein, fiber and packed with vitamins. We massage the kale with olive oil and sea salt, and then bake on a cookie sheet until crisp. It’s a quick, healthy snack that we can’t get enough of!
5.) Lettuce Tacos with Sesame-Cumin Beef

We marinate flank steak in soy, mirin, ground cumin and spices. Combine the steak with fresh veggies like red chili pepper, sweet peppers, lots of garlic and onion. Drizzle in soy and sesame oil for extra flavor. Stuff the meat and vegetables inside Bibb lettuce leaves. To bump up your protein, serve with freshly steamed edamame.

We slather them with fresh basil, parsley, walnuts, zesty lemon juice and olive oil. Toss the wings in the pesto sauce and serve with sliced lemons.
