Are You Ready for Some Football…. Food?!

Polly Anna's Spinach Spectacular

If your house is anything like mine then there is a special energy brewing in the air this time of year. No, not just because we’re trying to avoid frostbite, but because it’s SUPERBOWL time!

Some of us are excited for the football itself, some are excited for the commercials, some can’t wait for the half-time show… but everyone is excited about the food!

This year, the Kitchen Crew and I have been busy preparing and tasting all of the wonderful party foods that you members have posted. And let me tell you, there are some real home-runs…. er, I mean touchdowns!

Polly Anna from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for example, has a blue-ribbon Spinach Dip that I find myself day-dreaming about. Or how about Leslie Holt’s Bacon Swirls?! These little bundles of bacon-y goodness come with a personal guarantee that they’ll disappear faster than a SuperBowl punt return. (And for you non-football fans, that’s FAST!) Brian Blackley also scored big points with his championship-worthy Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms that turn a dainty finger-food into hearty football fare!

Oh, and remember to check out the featured recipes on the homepage this week as well. It’s a SuperBowl party extravaganza!

These are just a few of the great party recipes that members have posted. What would you suggest I try on Super Sunday? I think I may have a little room left on my plate…
