The Super Bowl is this Sunday. .  will you be watching????

My husband is a huge Peyton Manning fan so we are cheering for the Denver Broncos all the way! As much as I love watching the game, the commercials and the halftime show, I’m all about the FOOD.

These Zucchini Pizza Bites are nothing new. .  they’re all over the internet ..  and they are a fabulous low carb option if you’re watching your carb in-take. Personally, I love these . . maybe more than pizza! I love that they are bite-sized and you can eat a few and still get your pizza fill!

Yesterday, I shot my segment for WISC-TV, for my Super Bowl game day eats. . and yes, at the end, I quickly mentioned these Zucchini Pizza Bites. I also shared my Football Sandwiches and my Mini Pizza Bites. Totally not low-carb but absolutely delicious!

We also had a special guest! My daughter Madeline. One of the perks of going to school in the afternoon? Mornings at home with me! And yes, this is my kitchen! Soon to be renovated!

For you folks in Madison, this segment will air on Friday at 4pm. .  not sure on the exact time. .  but I will also send out the link when I have it!

I’ll be back Friday with more game day eats . . until then, you don’t even have to wait for Sunday to try these Zucchini Pizza Bites! Go for it!

    A lot to say, so here’s a list:
    1) I love your kitchen.
    2) Your daughter is so adorable.
    3) Peyton Manning is my favorite too, so Paul and I have a lot to talk about!
    4) These are gorgeous and the cheese on top has those browny spots I love best of all.
    5) You are a star!

    I will most definitely be watching the Super Bowl, but I will be rooting for the other team… Sorry? 😉 Gotta cheer for my new home state! #GoPanthers! LOVE these bites, Alice! Who doesn’t want a pizza that is actually healthy?! Wish I lived in your area so I could watch your TV segments!! You are KILLING it girlfriend! I’m serious about that autograph! 😉 Cheers, friend!

    I’m a long-suffering Browns fan, so the Super Bowl is only about food and socializing, as far as I’m concerned. 🙂 I’ve never seen these zucchini bites, but my family would be all over these! I’m pinning to try. Also, I love your kitchen, and your daughter is adorable! It’s really nice to see a little “behind the scenes.” Way to go with the TV spot!

    What a great idea – these look delicious! Your daughter is adorable – it’s great that she could be featured with you. Once, when I was doing a live cooking with kids segment, my son (who was 4 at the time) kept sticking his tongue out at the camera – it was so hysterical…and a little embarrassing at the same time!

    Your daughter must have a lot of fun home with you (and the news crew!) in the morning! And this is about the best looking zucchini I’ve ever seen — I’m loving these bites! I will be watching the super bowl, however I’m not into either team. I’ll be into the food!

    These look like a fun snack or lunch-time treat to make with the little ones. I expect we’d stand around the kitchen work table and eat them as soon as we could touch them without getting burned! Thank you. Sharing as my pick for Recipe of the Day, every way I can.
