Super Bowl 50 is right around the corner! This day is notorious for being a day full of eating, drinking, and sitting…not the healthiest combination! It is the 2nd biggest day of the year of food consumption in the U.S. (Thanksgiving is first, shocker). According to some statistics taken from Super Bowl 2015…5,000lbs of hot dogs will be sold during the game, 49.2 million cases of beer will be sold, 1.23 billion chicken wings will be eaten, and 8 million pounds of guacamole with 14,500 tons of chips will be consumed. Talk about a touchdown in the food arena!

I wanted to slim down and spice things up this Super Bowl with making these delicious jalapeno poppers using jalapenos from 1st Quality Produce. I love their jalapenos because they already come with the seeds and membranes removed and they are the PERFECT size for poppers. I like to cut mine in half lengthwise but you can also leave them whole and stuff the entire pepper. Nutritionally jalapenos are great because they are low in calories, high in Vitamin C and A, and also contains a compound called Capsaicin which has anti-inflammatory effects and may even be promising in promoting weight loss! Woo! I knew I liked spicy foods for a reason 🙂
