Get your Super Bowl Spread on

Posted on 31. Jan, 2012 by Melanie in Eats, Local Events, Weekend

Which do you look forward to the most – Super Bowl commercials or the Super Bowl Parties?
Since we can’t predict the former; we rumbled through the blogosphere and found great ideas for the latter.

All these recipes ideas are easy and are probably things on your shopping list anyway; but, trying any of these ideas will make you the MVP of your neighborhood’s Super Bowl scene.

VEGGIE & DIP CUPS

Hate double dippers? Or the person that eats ALL the baby carrots. Create mini-veggie cups for your guests. They can already include dip or you can have a selection of dips that guests can add themselves (for the weirdos that don’t like ranch dressing).

CHIPS & FRUIT SALSA

Everyone does chips and salsa. Offer the normal kind but kick things up a notch by trying this Cinnamon Pita Chips and Fruit Salsa (your female guests might thank you).

Grab a bag of Stacy’s Cinnamon Pita Chips and make a fruit salsa with your favorite cut berries and kiwi fruit.

BREAD-LESS BURGERS
How about this take on a burger. Layer a patty and other goodies on a waffle fry. You can stack the add-on’s (pickles, red onion, lettuce, tomatoes) on the side.

It’s probably best to make these bite-sized.

We love this idea for individual nachos. Try the seven-layer dip from SavorySweetLife.com

SEVEN LAYER DIP
Who wouldn’t love getting their hands on their own jar of refried beans, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, olives and cheese? Guaranteed bowl-licking goodness, grab the seven layer dip recipe here.

Think of the pros – easy to make, easy to hold and portable.

Finally just for giggles. Know a friend with a steady hand? Feel like melting some chocolate? Check out these Strawberry Ba, Straw Balls, Foot Berries – we’re trying to think up a name here – chocolate dipped strawberries that resemble footballs.

Foot berries, indeed!
