Super Bowl ideas anyone?
With the Super Bowl coming up in about a month, I'm looking for some creative and easy to make appetizers/decorations. Anyone have any ideas or anything that you've tried that's been a success?
Re: Super Bowl ideas anyone?
Welcome
Here's a good place to troll for ideas.
I googled and found some Pinterest boards with great ideas. One, two, three.
Specific questions are easier to answer, so let us know if you have any

We will be making pizza. I just tried out this recipe today, and it was awesome! I baked them in cake pans, but I think if you have cast iron, it would make them even better.

I used the above pizza crust recipe.
I had a Super Bowl party last year and had all the typical appetizers - pizza, wings, chips & dip, cheese & crackers, fruit & veggie platters, pigs in blankets, mini eggrolls. Then we did a chili in the crock pot with toppings on the side. It went over well.
For decorations, we put up all the football swag we could find.
In addition, we played a fun game that got everyone involved in the day, including those that weren't big football fans. When people arrived, we had them wager their guesses on a page of questions we had created....such as "what team will score the first touchdown" "how many field goals total will be scored" "will there be a guest appearance during the half-time show...bonus points, who will it be" "how many beers will we drink" and "how many times will we all use the restroom"......then I had used a poster-sized piece of paper to write down all the guests names and create a scoreboard. As the questions were answered, we doled out the points. In addition, we had a tally-board on the beer cooler and on the bathroom door, and guests kept a tally to answer those particular questions. Everyone had a blast....and we had a first and second place prize (something silly and football-related.)
Those non-football-related questions all seem like fun! I've done the usual football-related ones (who will score the first TD, what will the score be after the first quarter, etc). but I like silly random ones that are fun for those that don't care about the game.
Baked Potato Bar would be a good idea with different types of fixings.
Cheese, Bacon Bits, Chili, Onions with endless possibilities.
