Once again the Super Bowl is upon us. While it is not as sweet or exciting for New Jersey this year (stinkin’ Giants) at least The Boss is playing at halftime. And, we all know, no matter who’s playing, the Super Bowl is still a great excuse to eat and drink more than we should. Yey Guilt Free Gluttony!
So, to help you down the path of diet destruction, I have listed my menu suggestions from past recipes here on Jersey Bites. All of them can be fixed a day in advance (except for the shrimp). Actually the chili and pulled pork are always better the next day. Fill in the gaps with the always anticipated pigs in a blanket, chips and nachos and you’ve got a stellar Super Bowl line up.
Fiery Cajun Shrimp, be sure to stock up on the crispy bread for dipping in that luscious sauce.
Mexican Lasagna, cheap, easy and oh so filling
Turkey Chicken Chili, a standard Football watching dish and you’ll never miss the beef.
Pulled Pork Sandwiches, OMG Good!!! That’s all I have to say.
All of these have been tested and devoured by guests. So, they have my drunken family and friends’ stamp of approval and isn’t that what you need for a Super Bowl Party?
If you are refusing to go down that path of diet destruction, here are a few appetizers for the health conscious and vegetarian guests. Both are delicious.
Butternut Squash Dip
Asparagus with Wasabi Mayonnaise Dip
Here’s Wishing You all a Great Party and a Better Season for us here in New Jersey next year. Amen.
