Hey everyone,
Although I'm not having a party for the Super Bowl this Sunday, I'd still like to make some yummy snacks for my BF and me that are safe for me. I am figuring the snacks will serve as dinner too, so I'm looking for your favorite safe recipes! Hopefully this will help others too who are looking for something they can snack on during a party. 
I will probably be posting more to this thread as I surf through the recipes this week.

Heather's Chipotle Mango Salsa w/baked lays is VERY good.... It is in her EFI book.
Also, any hummus & pita chip recipes in the index....
I'll think of more... but have lots of work today..... end of fiscal year.

We are having my chili, and orange cake for safe foods, but if I was making more safe food I would make baba ganoush. I have a good recipe for it but can't find the link. I have it printed out so I will type it quickly. If something is confusing ask me.
3 eggpplant
6 clo garlic
1 onion
olive oil
2 T lemon
2T tahini
salt cumin red pepper flakes.
325 F peel and cube eggplant and roast 30 min with a little oil and the onion diced. Cool. Process the rest and serve with pitas. This one is very male friendly and spicy. I put a lot of pepper flakes and so it was well-liked. Serve with pita chips.

quick guacomole and salsa and baked tostitos is probably what I'll have! (since you are watching your weight I would go easy on the guac)
I was thinking of making 'burritoes' or something, by wrapping up Heather's Black bean dip in a tortilla and topping with the salsa and guac, maybe some lettuce.
If you can't tolerate beans well, or just don't like them, you could probably make tacos out of TVP, sounds like alot of work though if you are lazy like me.
I know you are a sushi fanatic like me, pick up a platter before hand! makes nice fingerfood to munch on. Not traditional superbowl food, but times are changin'!

heathers party mix (I forget what it is called). It is in EFI and one of her last newsletters, the one with the honey and the pretzels and whatnot.

I posted this last week and I really enjoy it!
Mexican Mess
1 can of fat free refried beans
1 jar of salsa
sour cream (tofutti kind)
cheese (soy, rice or if you can tolerat smart balance chedder which I prefer)
I layer a pyrex dish with refried beans. Then I put on the sour cream. Spread out the salsa on top, then sprinkle cheese on it. Sometimes I add a few black olives to it.
This is so yummy and perfect for a Super bowl party. I also make a big one for everyone and an IBS safe one for me.
Serve with baked tostitos!

Nah.. it's the adventure of making it! Plus it's cheaper.
My sister and I made california rolls for my dad's birthday once and they turned out pretty good. I have the sushi rolling mat and book, so we'll see.

Everything I have says "steam" the rice, don't boil it....duh...don't know what they mean by that. Do you need some bamboo rice cooker or something. I have the mat but that's as far as I've gotten with the do-it-yourself version.

Actually my sister and I just cooked it in a pot and let it "steam" in there. I'll have to post my sushi rice recipe.

You can actually buy cans of the inside of roasted eggplant at Middle Eastern groceries. Then you just mix it with the tahini and everything else. We always make our baba ganoush from scratch, but this way is a lot easier, and it's really quite good. BTW, when we don't use the canned stuff, we stab the eggplants with a skewer and grill or broil them whole. Then we slice them open and scoop out the insides. Also, I've never heard of using cumin or red pepper flakes, but I'm sure that's yummy. I'm a bit of a purist myself, and I like it best when there is a lot of lemon.

I looked through a lot of recipes! and this one was the only one with cubed eggplant, but I really liked it. And since I was making it for skeptical and fussy guys it was a hit since it was spicy.
Hey eggplant trick, buy the eggplants with a round blossom end mark instead of a elongated one. They are males (round) and less seedy and fluffy.  I saw that at some show or something once.

This sushi roll salad uses sushi ingredients but is easier. It has you bring the rice to boil, boil 2 minutes and sit 10 minutes and it works great.

Have you tried Heather's Pizza Party Snack Mix? It's an all time favourite at my house. If you want to spice it up add 1/4 tsp ground chipotle. It makes it more barbequey flavour.

Ahhh, this is exactly what I wanted to know...thanks. The sushi roll salad looks like a good alt. to all that work of rolling and such--but then to some, that may be half the fun.Kandee

How about mini pizza's on *toasted english muffins? You can use a safe sauce (even bbq) with chicken or salad shrimp and crushed pineapple, maybe some sauted onion & garlic then add your soy or rice cheese... put in the oven for a few at like 350-370 and then turn the boiler on for a few.
*note: I toast my muffin first to prevent them from getting soggy.

Coming from a half-Japanese girl . When the Japansese make their sushi rice they use a rice cooker. You don't need a fancy bamboo steamer or anything like that. Buy the Japanese Calrose rice at your supermarket and I'll bet there will be stove top directions on the back of the bag.
"Sushi Su"
1/2 cups of rice vinegar
4T sugar
1 1/2 t salt
Mix above ingredients. Transfer freshly cooked rice to a large bowl and sprinkle the sushi su over the rice mixing gently.
Take one piece of "nori" (seaweed) and put one cup of the rice ont he nori spreading evenly yet leaving about 1/2" free of rice so that you can seal the roll. Place your favorite filling in a line at the center part and roll. Slice in 1" pieces...serve with wasabi and soy sauce.

Buy the Japanese Calrose rice at your supermarket and I'll bet there will be stove top directions on the back of the bag. OK, will do, but see down below please, to see if what I have will work.

So this is why it tastes different than what I've had that's been homemade (American style)!! I wondered what they added..Now I know, thanks to you. "Sushi Su" is what's needed. That seems easy enough. How much rice do you add this to?

Got it! I watched them do this on TV so think I can do this part easy enough.
I have a pkg of Trader Joe's California Short Grain, Haiga Mai Rice. The cooking instructions say: Measure one cup rice into a heavy sauce pan. Rinse rice several times in cold water until water is almost clear. Drain and let stand uncovered for 10 minutes. Add 1 tbs. of oil or butter and 1 cup of water or broth to rice and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover with tight fitting lid and cook for 15-20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Do not peek at rice while cooking.
How about it? Should I make any changes to this?
Thanks, Kandee

I live in Texas so we don't have a Trader Joes out here...sigh...so I am not sure about the rice. The directions seem logical though I have never heard of adding oil to rice. The Japanese don't do that.
All in all...it's worth a shot. Let me know how it works! Sushi isn't sushi without the sushi-su for sure!
