Growing up, my family never watched football. We were more of a hockey and baseball kind of clan. But every year we had a big ole Super Bowl Sunday party. I was infinitely envious of my younger sister, whose birthday happens to fall right around the Super Bowl, for she had a guaranteed birthday party each year, long after the rest of us had been weaned off of annual birthday celebrations.
In college, I briefly and half-heartedly tried to get into the whole football thing. I watched games on TV with my new college friends and looked to them to explain the ins and outs of the activity I was so hopelessly clueless about. But, my interest in football was short-lived. Not long after that, I met my husband, who’s more of a guitar and drum kind of guy than a sports fan. So, football remains largely absent from my life.
But in true, inherited non-football-fan fashion, my husband and I are throwing a Super Bowl party this year. Our game day menu is still under construction, but will almost certainly include some adaptation of these Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins and a decadent German Chocolate Cake in honor of my sister’s birthday. (Those recipes to follow after the Superbowl!)
In the meantime, if you’re in search of a few new ideas for your game day celebrations, check out these previously posted Gourmand Mom recipes:
Spinach Dip and Fried Wonton Chips
Your pizzas look amazing and the deviled eggs look scrumptious! I’m slowly getting my family into football because I really enjoy it!
Have a great party!!
Great menu ideas!! I will be adding the creole deviled eggs, chipotle salsa and the jalepeno poppers to our chicken/andouille gumbo and buffalo chicken rolls and 100 calorie moist chocolate cupcakes. http://canyoustayfordinner.com/
yumm those jalapeño poppers look fabulous
Wow, love the fabulous array of party food…each dish looks more incredible than the previous one…mmmmmmm.
This looks so good.
I’m not a huge NFL fan, so the Super Bowl wouldn’t be such a big deal to me if it wasn’t for all the awesome food involved! Buffalo chicken anything is my favorite. Can I come to your party? 🙂
