Great Vegetarian Choices for Your Superbowl Party

If you have a friend who is a vegetarian, then you know for them it is frustrating going to a party at someone's home because the are usually forgotten in the food planning.  Here's a great list of food that your vegetarian friends can enjoy at your Superbowl Party. 

#1.)  Spinach Artichoke Dip. It's easy to make at home, or you can buy it pre-made in the frozen food aisle of most grocery stores.  The only catch is, it has cheese and usually mayonnaise, which hardcore vegans won't eat.

#2.)  Fried Zucchini Sticks with Marinara Sauce. It's not the HEALTHIEST way to eat vegetables.  But it's a lot healthier than cheese sticks.  And as I'm sure you know, football fans will eat anything if it's fried.

#3.)  Meatless Chili with Avocado. If you're making chili anyway, it's easy to do a batch with just beans.  Then add chopped avocado, or serve it on the side.  And while you're at it, make sure you serve guacamole, which is a Super Bowl staple.

#4.)  Portobello Burgers. They're regarded as kind of a gourmet veggie burger.  So even if your vegetarian friends don't show up, they'll probably get eaten.

#5.)  Hummus. It's not on the "Women's Health" list but it should be, because basically any kind of pre-made hummus at the grocery store is vegetarian-friendly.

If you've never had hummus, it's just mashed chickpeas blended with olive oil, garlic, salt, and tahini, which is made with ground sesame seeds.  And you can eat it with anything dipable, like crackers, chips, pretzels, and raw veggies.
