Wed Jan 09 21:32:22 -0800 2008 63433 drewb123 1 3280228 Assorted grilled veggies and meats on skewers. It's super easy, very versatile, healthy, and makes for a great presentation as well as easy eating. Fruit skewers are good as well for a lighter dessert option. My crew also REQUIRES pigs in a blanket on game day as well as sausage nachos. I guess they feel they have to offset the healthier options somehow.

It's made with a container of cream cheese, a cubed chicken breast, some monterrey jack, some bleu cheese, and frank's red hot. It's a great way to get that hot wing taste without getting your hands all messy.

It wasn't just the men that liked it either. I handed out the recipe to three people. Here's a thread with the recipe and some tips. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/282859 Thu Jan 10 11:52:58 -0800 2008 3280350 147969 kmills9408 1 3280371 If the Patriots make it to the Superbowl I will have to have a blowout. But the staples for my game days are mini-cheeseburgers, hot dogs wrapped in puff pastry with homemade katsup, buffalo shrimp, chicken quesadillas and hot and cold dips. Thu Jan 10 06:28:28 -0800 2008 3279864 73860 jules127 1 3280399 Grilled Spicy Thai Shrimp with Peppers and Onions, my ever popular Muffalatta with home made Olive Salad Spread, and Pickled Carrot Sticks. I was given the order last week, and I'm hoping the flavors will meld. Fingers crossed. Thu Jan 10 06:37:31 -0800 2008 3279864 75332 Gio 1 3280547 Our usual Superbowl party fare (Go Pats) is: -Sweet & Sour Meatballs (crockpot) -Italian sausage, peppers and onions in marinara sauce (another crockpot) -Cold cut platter -Crusty rolls and Martin's soft potato rolls -Chicken Wings two ways, one buffalo style, one coated in Ah So Sauce (picture below) -Hot Dogs (cut into three pieces) wrapped in crescent biscuit dough and baked, for an easy pigs in blanket -Veggie and fruit platters -Superbowl sundaes: Homemade brownies, topped with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge sauce, whipped cream and a cherry, served in little plastic helmets we have gathered from various sports stadiums.

Baby backs - moisten with orange juice, sprinkle liberally with cajun seasoning, slow cook on the smoker or grill with only one burner lit, and turned way down, for at least 2 hours, or until almost falling off the bone. No need for sauce. Thu Jan 10 07:49:10 -0800 2008 3279864 98500 Bat Guano 1 3281062 I haven't decided yet, but I am thinking wings, cocktail franks, chili, cornbread. Not sure if I am doing ribs this year. I'll probably buy dessert, or someone will bring. Last year, I ordered in from spicy Mina's. I figured that anything spicy that goes with beer is superbowl friendly. Thu Jan 10 09:23:57 -0800 2008 3279864 18970 Val55 1 3281884 Here's yet one more wing recipe that couldn't be easier is always a huge hit. http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/features/gourmet/chicken.shtml I'd go with the brownies over cookies. More substanstial; less dainty. And always a crowd pleaser. Thu Jan 10 12:05:43 -0800 2008 3279864 11407 JoanN 1 3281988 For my last three potlucks I've taken the classic bacon wrapped Lit'l Smokies. Wrap the cocktail wieners in bacon (halved lengthwise), secure with a toothpick, sprinkle with brown sugar, and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. They are always the first thing to go! They travel well and have a yummy sauce that you can transfer the crockpot to keep warm (if they last that long!). I also make a dip with 1 pkg softened cream cheese, 1 cup drained roasted red peppers, and 1 pkg of Hidden Valley ranch - all blended together until smooth. Serve with crackers and veggies. It's awesome and fast! Thu Jan 10 12:29:36 -0800 2008 3279864 56308 drgnflychic 2 3357654 The BEST Superbowl dessert is whoopie pies! They are delish and a great finger food - as are any type of brownie/bar or cookies. Go to epicurious.com and search for whoopie pies for a great recipe. There's also one for turtle brownies on foodtv.com and every time I bring it to parties I get raves. Fri Feb 01 20:01:15 -0800 2008 3281988 162737 azzurrikicks
