Super Bowl Party
Menu Ideas
You MUST
plan ahead,
otherwise you
will be in the kitchen at half-time
and will have missed all the action.
- Your
favorite team may not be
in this years competition. Better luck
next year! You can still be a winner if you
 plan
your Super Bowl party food around the
local favorites of
the teams in the game. Serve muffulettas
for
the New
Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Chili for the Bengals, chili
dogs for the Detroit Lions and crabcakes
for the Baltimore Ravens.
- Save
money by making your own foot long sandwiches. Buy large Italian or
French bread loafs or large bread rounds from your grocers or bakery.
Load them up with your favorite spreads, meats,
cheeses
and toppings. Prepare the sandwiches the night before and wrap tightly
in plastic wrap. Tortilla wraps can also be made
ahead and wrapped in plastic
-
Don't
be
afraid to lighten up the menu and put fruits
and raw vegetables into the lineup. Bake chicken wings and potatoes
wedges instead of frying. Use low-fat sour cream and try
turkey sausages and hams
- Super
Bowl Sunday is the perfect time for a potluck.
Guests will be happy to bring their favorites finger
foods,dips
and
spreads, chicken wings, burgers, sandwiches
and chili

Good luck in 2012 to the Texans
and Lions!
