Game Day!

We’ve got your party wings!

From February 3 – 9, Nugget Markets’ deli is your source for the best wings this side of Buffalo. Unlike the other guys, Nugget’s wings are not reheated from a box — our chefs marinate, spice rub, and glaze these wings fresh by hand daily! Nugget’s chefs are creating bold flavors for your game day gathering at a super-low price, $5.99/dozen, save $2.

A wing’s perfect mate

You can’t have buffalo wings without some tangy blue cheese! Shaft’s crumbled blue is a wonderfully creamy cheese that has been aged in gold mines in Nevada County. This cool, damp environment gives it a more yellowish-green mold and a crisp, tangy finish. Enjoy this cheese on its own, or mix it up as a dip for your game-day party. $8.99/lb., save $4.00/lb.

Bread for your table

Our fresh rustic and sourdough baguettes are perfect to pair with your favorite game day dips and spreads. Enjoy these delectable hand-made breads, crafted from superior ingredients such as specially milled organic flours, naturally fermented starters and sea salt. $1.49 each, save $1.50

Health Notes with Dr. Liz

Game Plan

What do you like the best about the big game? It might be the commercials, the actual game, or, if you’re like me, the food! Game day parties — whether it’s just you or a room full of fans — typically are weighted down with high-calorie and fat-laden foods that leave you feeling sluggish by half-time. This game-day Sunday, avoid a nutrition penalty with some healthier choices.

• Drink low- or no-calorie drinks, steering clear of high-calorie beer, soda and other sugary beverages.
• Opt for baked chips over the full-fat variety — you’ll be surprised how tasty the low-calorie versions can be, thanks to new chip-making technology.
• Use low-fat or non-fat sour cream in dips; you won’t be able to tell the difference from the full-fat counterpart.
• Serve plenty of salsa as a dip or topping for nachos — it’s low in calories and rich in vitamin C and health-boosting lycopene.
• Set out a sandwich spread of roasted turkey or chicken, whole grain breads, tomato slices, sprouts, greens, pickles and low-fat mayo (rather than the standard fare of less nutritious heavy meats and plain rolls).
• Offer freshly cut veggies such as celery, carrots and cucumbers — these crisp veggies can help you skip the chips by satisfying your need for something crunchy.
