Super Bowl Menu (with recipe links)

Time for another Super Bowl Menu! We aren't excited about either team this year. I actually told my hubby we should boycott the game and just watch the commercials! :-) They're the best part if your team isn't playing.

At this point I don't even know how many people will be here. Probably just a few plus the two of us so nothing too crazy. Actually for me it's always easier to plan the desserts - except for narrowing them down. I should probably just throw dessert parties rather than having people expect regular food. It would be so much easier.

Stuffing Spinach Balls

Veggies with ranch dip

7-Layer Dip or Skinny Taco Dip & Chips

Hungry Girl Wonton-quitos - these are really good. I've made them several times. Great finger food.

Skinny Baked Mozzarella Sticks - I just found this recipe and it had to go on the list right away! In college we would often hang out in the snack shop late nights and we were always getting the fried mozzarella sticks. Mmmm. So good, and so bad for you. Can't wait to try these baked sticks!

Hungry Girl Turtle Cheesecake - it's been a while since I've made something like cheesecake. Last time I think was this pumpkin swirl recipe, or a variation of it. Skinnytaste has several good "cheesecake-ish" recipes. Lemon and strawberry swirl are really good.


I don't think we'll have enough people to warrant making more food, but if we do I want to try this Pizza Puffs recipe.and.soon!

Superbowl 2011 - The menu (and links to recipes)

Superbowl is this Sunday and my hubby is quite excited that the Steelers are going again! We are having a few people over to watch the game (and the commercials!) and I've got this menu planned. I tried to keep it simple, and include a few items I can prep on Saturday evening. The game will be on around 2pm here and I didn't want to spend the morning in the kitchen.

No Fry Crab Rangoon - use this filling and then use this other recipe for assembling & baking
Shrimp Cocktail 
Pulled Pork on Hawaiian rolls - thanks for the idea Lyndsey!
Cucumber Sandwiches
Smokies in Grape jelly/mustard sauce 
Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies - oh man. espresso & chocolate, need I say more?
Better-Than-Crack Brownies
Cupcakes for Curtis’ birthday - Chocolate Fudge with Vanilla frosting. From a box. Not terribly exciting but it is what he wanted.
Veggies & Ranch Dip - I thought we might be lacking in the veg & fruit department, so these two are there.
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Yes, most of these are new-to-me recipes. If you've been to my blog previously you know I like to use guests & family members as guinea pigs taste-testers. This weekend will be no exception.

I hope you all enjoy the game & good times with friends & family.
