Okay, who all is hosting a Super Bowl (or Commercial viewing) party?

We're having a low-key event...10 - 15 friends over and making it a "SOUPer" bowl theme for food.

We're planning on having

  • Vegetarian Chili
  • Butternut Squash Soup
  • One other soup (TBD)
  • Selection of Wisconsin cheeses
  • Chips/Salsa/Guac
  • Homemade pizzas
  • Football shaped chocolate cake and cookies
  • A selection of beers (Local brews, Sam Adams, and a couple mini-keg choices)

Anyone else hosting this weekend?

    How fun!  I bet New Orleans is going to be crazy this weekend!  Aside from the King Cake, are there any New Orleans/Saints traditions out there that are a "must include"?

  • People here are already planning not to go to work or school on Monday. Tuesday there is a parade for them, win or lose. Then the next week is Mardi Gras. We are busy over here. For a "must include" I would say gumbo. I don't know how to make it. However, it is good for parties because it makes a lot. 
  • We are doing something small. Currently it is deep fryer season in our house so we'll have the following:

    taquitos

    curly fries

    cheese sticks

    jalapenos poppers

    And then we'll also have pulled pork sandwiches with cole slaw.

    Not sure on drinks yet.

  • Cole Slaw..that's a good one too. 
  • me and it looks like it's going to be a full house of about 20 people

    so far my menu is:

    pigs in a blanket

    Buffalo chicken dip

    Sticky Chicken Wings

    Salsa Roll Ups

    and the usual chips & dip

    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

  • We're having a pretty small gathering, just two other couples and us.  We each have two kids, so that will make things busy though.

    Someone mentioned gumbo above, and inspiration struck me - I think I'm going to make jambalaya.  Probably the Zatarains box kit, with smoked sausage and shrimp, and sauteed red bell pepper, onion and celery.  That should satisfy the group! 

    Chopped salad for dinner

    For appetizers:

    Buffalo chicken dip with chips, carrots and celery

    Chips and guacamole

    Assorted veggies and dip

    Spinach artichoke dip and crackers

    Spicy chicken wings with blue cheese dressing

    Dessert will be brownies, and maybe rice krispie treats.

    For the kids, corn dogs, chicken nuggets, peas and homemade mac n cheese.
