Sunday Playbook: December 1, 2024

I hope you’re finding time to recharge over the Thanksgiving holiday. There are some BIG college games on this weekend (go Clemson 🐅!), so I’m sharing ideas for healthier game-day bites that are perfect for your tailgate or just watching from home. Plus, these recipes can double as easy options for the week ahead. I’ll also be kicking off a reset in the App this week (I definitely need it after too many holiday indulgences!). Let me know if you want to join- we’ll keep it simple and doable. Enjoy, and be sure to check out the updated schedule for Cafe drop-ins.

What’s Cooking this Week?

Protein and Veggie Board

This is such a fun (and filling!) way to do game day food- a protein-packed platter with chicken apple sausage bites or skewered grilled chicken. Pair it with some roasted veggies or a crunchy slaw for balance, and you’ve got a tailgate spread that’s both satisfying and healthy. It’s the kind of platter that keeps everyone grazing and still feeling great.

Sheet Pan Chicken Wraps

These Sheet Pan Chicken Wrap Recipe are a perfect for game days and there easy to make in large batches (plus a pretty dish to bring to parties). I love the two different seasoning combos for fajita-style and Greek chicken wraps. My go-to for tortillas is Carb Balance, but you can use whatever tortilla you prefer.

Brussel Sprouts with Toasted Quinoa

Try these delicious steak bites paired with roasted Brussel sprouts. But these aren’t your average Brussel sprouts- the addition of roasted red pepper and the crunch from toasted quinoa takes this dish to the next level.

Healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip

I’m a sucker for a dip at parties. This healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip is a delicious, lighter version of your favorite appetizer! Easy, gluten free, keto & loaded with flavor – you’ll love it! There is no cream cheese in this recipe (you don’t need it!)

High-Protein Turkey Chili

This low-carb, protein turkey chili is a total crowd-pleaser- my dad just requested it for Sunday dinner! Chili and game day are a match made in heaven, and this recipe never disappoints. It’s hearty, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. It’s ideal for meal prep too.
