Football Special:Simple Baked Wings and Creamy Coleslaw

     With football season coming to an end, it's about time that I share some football food :) Since our weekend was fully booked with moving into a new place, I wanted to keep it extra simple.  Therefore, the Superbowl menu consisted of baked wings and coleslaw.

Simple Baked Wings
Ingredients:
One 3 lb bag of frozen chicken wings
Canola oil
Salt and pepper
Wing sauce of your choice (I used Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Barbecue and Buffalo Wing Sauce)

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.  Set frozen wings in one layer onto a baking sheet (one with a drip rack would be best so that the juices will drain).  Drizzle wings with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Bake for 20 minutes.

Carefully take pan out of the oven and turn wings over.  Bake again for at least 15 minutes.  Let cool then mix with sauce.  I put half of the wings in a Tupperware with barbecue and the other half with buffalo.  Seal and shake.  SO simple!  SO tasty!  Every time!

Creamy Coleslaw
Ingredients:
1 cup low fat mayo
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
one bag coleslaw (I actually chopped my own cabbage...about two cups)
one whole carrot, peeled and shredded
1 tablespoon grated onion
Directions:
In a large bowl combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrots. In another bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, celery seed, grated onion, and salt. Pour the mixture over the cabbage and toss until fully coated with the dressing. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving and up to 2 days (or until coleslaw is soggy).
