SUPER BOWL 2023 - What's on your menu?

kate2357 — Sun, 05 Feb 2023 19:40:59 GMT

Super Bowl is in a week. Are you watching? Are you cooking up something special for the big game?

My nephew and his wife are hosting a large super bowl party at their newly remodeled house. This is the first family/friends gathering since completing their remodel...it promises to be a loud and fun gathering. They've invited their neighbors, because it will get loud.

I asked what I could bring ... appetizer, entree or dessert ... and the answer was..."some of each, especially Uncle Jack's smoked brisket and your bbq beans".

Okay then, here's what I plan to bring and I will help her do setup too.

Appetizers

Antipasto Skewers - and I will be using some cute picks I found.

Bacon, Cheddar, Ranch Dip

Cheeseboard - using cute picks

Dessert

Raspberry Shooters and Pistachio Shooters. I actually got the idea for the pistachio shooters from the image for buying the shooter glasses. I thought ... why not make this too.

Chocolate covered strawberries - using the flag picks above.

Entree

Smoked brisket - she wants this for sliders and she's providing the rolls. My husband loves any excuse to have this and I'm sure he will make enough for us too.

BBQ beans - my throw together recipe, filled with bacon, bacon, bacon, brown sugar, onions and oh yeah, beans.

I'm not aware of a football game ever being watched on a TV in this house.

I occasionally watch figure skating, but otherwise no one here watches any sport on TV.

@RedTop

I'm not much into football either and would not allow my two 6'4" sons to play football (they thank me now). But they do like to watch football, baseball and basketball. For some folks the Super Bowl is about football, for others it's a reason to eat lots of food and watch the ads.

I'm going to this party because it's also a family event and I want to support my nephew and his wife.

I'll be watching so I think maybe I'll kick things up a notch and order pizza 🍕

@sann

Pizza is always good, for any reason on any day of the week!

If I wasn't going to a family event, I would probably have planned to have leftovers and gingerale and read a book.

Just a pot of chicken noodle stew and tossed salad for the two of us.

Hard to beat a good chicken noodle soup. I like the kind with the thick homestyle egg noodles and my husband likes those thin egg noodles, so we trade off on noodles.

Have you had the bacon cheddar dip from Haggens? Their dip is so good. This is pretty close to their recipe.

@kate2357, all your food for the party looks and sounds absolutely delicious! I was just saying the other day how much I love anything pistachio but yet have not had any recently. Those dessert shooters look great.

It's just my hubby and me...and he doesn't even watch football. How weird is that? LOL! I will be watching and maybe I will make some kind of dip for a little festive football food fun...and tons of calories I sure don't need. 😲

Enjoy your nephew's party!

You should make the pistachio instant pudding. Not too much for two people. Sprinkle a few shelled pistachios on top or crumble a good shortbread cookie on top. Ok, I am making myself hungry now.

Yes, two threads on same subject....twice the goodness I guess. 😀

Snacks are good...I enjoy a little bit of this, little bit of that to eat.

I live in Seattle. We had a friend who lived in Woodinville area and I would go to the Haggens over by your area.

They always had a great prepared foods selection. One of the few deli departments I would buy food from.

@kate2357 --of course! I remember you mentioning that and thought that was you--geez, I haven't been in that store since early Oct --I broke my ankle and had surgery then, and it's been just now that I can walk without any crutches--but still not able to walk much distance yet. DD and I would walk there on the weekends for some shopping!!!

You poor thing...your recovery seems like it's taking a long time. Must be driving you bonkers. Spring is coming, so hopefully you will be able to build up some endurance to be able to get out and about.
