My food blog is about the foods that I actually make for my family. My schedule is so crazy that I tend to turn meals that are easy for an active family, all while trying to make healthy choices. And of course you will find an occasional not so healthy meals, or treats but like they say..."everything in moderation!"

Baked Chicken Wings in a Mango Habanero Sauce
IT'S SUPERBOWL TIME! When my husband thinks football, he automatically thinks wings and beer. When I think football and wings,the first thing that comes to mind is fatty fried food. To keep both my husband and myself happy, I decided that I would just bake the wings and when they were fully cooked I would broil just to give them some color and to a little crispiness.
The end result is they came out amazing. I will never, ever fry another wing again. I hope you all enjoy this as much as my husband does.
***The Mango Habanero sauce is SPICY*** So be careful and try the sauce before hand.
