Bar Food with a Twist

Everyone enjoys a good beer and bar food with the game, with football season starting I decided to give you a good healthy twist. Great for just the family or a small gathering to watch your team.  Start with this quick creamy blue cheese dressing.

Homemade blue cheese salad dressing:
1 spoonful of light mayo

3 spoonfuls of light sour cream
1 freshly squeezed lemon
1 stalk of green onions
3 spoonfuls of blue cheese crumbles (you can also use wedge)
Salt/pepper


1. Add all ingredients to food processor except 1 spoon of blue cheese crumbles and pulse until smooth.
2. Remove from food processor into storing container. Add last spoon of blue cheese crumbles
3. Chill before serving


I used my favorite spicy wing sauce but instead of wings skinless, boneless chicken breast sliced thin cigar style.  Use your favorite wing sauce. Overwhelm you plate with veggies instead of the classic carrots and celery.  I prepared a romaine salad with cucumbers, thinly sliced onions, sliced jalapenos and blue cheese crumbles dressed with my creamy blue cheese dressing. If you just cant do without your fries, TRY THESE OVEN BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES!  You can have them at home they are not just a bistro treat.

1 sweet potato sliced thin into fries size
salt, pepper, garlic
olive oil

1. Put oven on 450 degrees
2. Blanch sweet potatoes in boiling water for 3 minutes. Then drain, run cool water over and pat dry.
3. Combine ingredients in bowl. coat potatoes with enough oil to not stick.  This should be about 1 spoonful depending on the amount of fries you make. Toss.
4. Lay on foil covered cookie sheet. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Check for crispness
ENJOY... I promise you won't be disappointed!
