Foodness Gracious - Week 62

Recipes

Late-January and early-February in the United States really points to a couple things:

1) We are likely a very long way away from our next work holiday

and

2) Football is coming to a close and the Super Bowl is almost upon us

Whether you’re a football fan or not isn’t really the point. Some people watch for the football. Some watch for the advertisers to bring out their most creative and expensive commercials of the year. Some don’t watch at all.

No matter which bucket you’re in, you simply must try these Firecracker Spicy Chicken Wings. The blend of sweet and spicy ensures this recipe has something for everyone. My daughter is 12 and loves them. She’s afraid of spice, but these hit the spot for her.

Of course she dipped hers in so much ranch dressing we couldn’t tell if she was eating ranch with her wings or wings with her ranch. But I digress!

Colder temperatures, football and wings. These three go together beautifully even if you prefer to remove either the colder temperatures or the football.

Just don’t remove the wings!

Remember the days of paper lists and mall marathons?

Reviews

Our Firecracker Spicy Chicken Wings above are made on a cookie sheet in the oven.

Many people love a deep friend chicken wing, and these can be made in the fryer just the same. You can take the sauce and toss them after they are fried to a perfect golden brown.

The T-Fal Deep Fryer is a perfect size for the home kitchen and allows you to use a healthier oil and use it for chicken wings, fries, sweet potato fries, tots…whatever you need to be game-ready…or in this case, dinner-ready!

Responsibility

This time of year many of us are trying to get everything in our lives on the right path. Health, diet, exercise, relationships…there are so many places for us to focus our time and energy.

One place that many also review is their finances and how they can save more, do more or even make more.

In our Responsibility section, we highlight some budget-friendly strategies to help you with so many rising food prices that you see at the grocery store.
