How to survive a Super Bowl party with low carb snacks

The teams have been decided...Super Bowl XLIX preparation is underway.  For those on a New Year's diet or trying to make a lifestyle diet change, this causes a problem.  I put together a list of low carb options you could provide at your party or bring to your friend's. 

Easy: 
*Any kind of savory wing should work-not breaded, homemade is better
*Veggie plate with ranch (real ranch not fat free)
*Low carb sausage balls:  I've made these several times now. Try reduced fat breakfast sausage to help with grease.  These are simple and delicious.  
*Almonds and other low fat nuts
*Cheese and/or meat trays
*Ham and cream cheese and chives rollups
*Deviled eggs
*Chickpeas and pico de gallo salad
*Sweet bacon wrapped smokies-try agave or a little brown sugar to add sweetness
****Use sweet peppers or bell peppers as chips or crackers 

Creative (If you're craving something out of the ordinary):
*Make your own cheese chips (see recipe)
*Savory roasted chickpeas (see recipes)
*Roasted buffalo cauliflower (see recipe)
*Bacon wrapped mozzarella (see recipe)
*Baked zucchini sticks with ranch (see recipe)
**Chicken parmesan meatballs (see recipe)
*7 layer dip: This could probably go under easy, but I figured you could be creative with your layers (see recipe)
