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!
