Upgrade your vegetable party platter.

Right now you might be knee-deep in potato chips, pretzels, and a cute cheese ball in the shape of a football. Don’t you just love Superbowl Sunday? Seriously though, pace yourself so that you will make it through half-time without a bloated belly. Thankfully your host remembered to purchase a vegetable tray from the supermarket for anyone interested in something healthy to balance things out.

Or, did they forget?

Or, what if you’re the host… and you forgot?

Or – worse yet – what if there is one of those dried-out vegetable trays where the snap peas and celery have edges that have already browned and carrots that have already started splitting?

Shudder.

It’s not too late to open your fridge and take stock of what you have in your crisper. Carrots? Check. Peppers? Check. Zucchini and/or squash? Check. Onion? Check. Cottage cheese, sour cream, and balsamic pepper? Check. Check. Check.

Shew. You’re in luck.

Okay, great… now hurry over to this life-saving recipe on the De Nigris Italian Vinegar site where I wrote a (sponsored) post this week for a grilled vegetable platter with creamy balsamic dip.

Touchdown!

Enjoy the Superbowl.

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

My name is Lyndi Fultz, and I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, which span Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

I like to share small ideas for living simply and eating happily.

You will find that I talk a lot about food because we all need to eat. Why not add little bits of food joy where possible?

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
