Super Bowl Sunday--It's All About the Food



Although my favorite football season is now over and my team lost, there is still an upcoming sports event which will again capture my undivided attention. And even though I have little interest in the teams that are playing, I'm looking forward to the Super Bowl! Because, you see, it's all about the food on Super Bowl Sunday!

I have been scouring the internet and blogsites (I love cookbooks, but they have sadly taken a back seat to internet and blog recipes) for menu ideas. Here are just a few of the recipes I am considering for our little party.

Beverages
White Wine Citrus Sangria

Noble Pig's Peach Margaritas

Hot Chocolate Martini

Pomegranate Margarita (make mine frozen!)

and for gluten-free cooks, recommendations for gluten-free beers

Savory
Absolute givens: My daughter's Gameday Cajun Chicken Nachos and her Yummy Taco Soup, which I would dip with Tostitos; and my husbands' Pimento Cheese Dip, which is a simple concoction of low-fat, small curd cottage cheese mixed with Price's Pimento Cheese Spread, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and served with Fritos.



Apricot Glazed Meatballs

Hot Sweet Onion Dip and spread on toasted Country French Bread

Holiday (And Any Other Day) Cheeseball

Salsa and Guacamole

Roasted Artichoke and Spinach Dip

Corn and Black Bean Quesadillas

More Natural Chile con Queso

Sausage Cheese Balls

A gluten-free Chili

Crockpot Italian Beef Sammies

Boneless Buffalo Chicken Wings...Sort Of

Mini Burgers

Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes

an array of yummy salads

Sweets
White Chocolate Fruit Tart

Lower Fat Vegan Brownies

Ultimate Chocolate Cookies

And a kicked-up version of Rice Krispies treats from David Lebovitz

My biggest dilemma is narrowing the list; but I could make all of them in the name of research and development.

Me,too, I love the food when it comes to the Superbowl. (I like football, too, but like you, I'm not as interested in the teams this year...maybe the Cardinals...) Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm definitely a fan of the food during Super Bowl Sunday. Your list sounds amazing!

Linda said...

Jams, you can come to the party, but we're using paper plates so no clean up. :o)

Carrie, I'd love to share a pom rita with you!

Tiffany, I'm thinking maybe the Cardinals too!

Lisa, there's no way I'll make all that! Right now I'm looking at your blog & adding some recipes. ;)
