A recent report by the Physicians for Responsible Medicine says Super Bowl Sunday is the second-biggest food consumption day of the year. The study goes on to tell what many of us already know. Mainly that regular consumption of high-fat foods leads to heart disease and diabetes.
What you may not have thought of is that high-fat meals can even raise the risk of a heart attack on a single day. You might have heard this referred to as the "Merry Christmas Coronary."
That said, I can't abide by those who suggest loading up on carrot sticks or multigrain Wheat Thins in place of dips and chili and brownies. Bless you, those who passed on all the Super Bowl goodies. I did not skip the high-calorie stuff, but I did eat it in small bites rather than pigging out with plate after plate.
Last week we ran a recipe for a buffalo chicken dip perfect for the Super Bowl. We had it at our Super Bowl party, and it was great. If you're having trouble finding Frank's Red Hot, I found it at Wal-Mart. I know that some Food Pyramind stores carry it, too.
Here it is, in case you missed it. Oh, and the No. 1 food consumption day of the year? That would be Thanksgiving, though you probably knew that.
