Snack recipes to consider for the big game

The menu during a Super Bowl party is arguably more important than the game itself. Rather than ordering a pizza or picking up wings, consider these recipes to spice it up.

• Cheesy beef and rice enchilada dip – Rice, black beans, cheese and taco sauce make for a delicious appetizer to kick things off.

• Spicy vegan chorizo skillet – Just because it’s a party doesn’t mean you have to cheat on your diet. Here’s a healthy alternative that packs plenty of flavor.

• Buffalo chicken dip – Much like baseball and hot dogs, no Super Bowl party is complete without a Buffalo chicken entree.
