Super Bowl Sunday!

Hey Everyone!

The BIG game is almost here...the Super Bowl!

Growing up, the Super Bowl game was always a big deal in my household, regardless of who was playing. My dad would whip up some tasty, awesome food for the game! It's like our second "Thanksgiving"...football-style! He would spend all day making potato skins, different flavors of chicken wings, dips after dips, mozzarella sticks, & dessert! It was such a blast, and definitely some of the best memories of my childhood!

So who am I cheering on?? The Seahawks, of course! I live in WA State & the people here are CRAZY about their team! It's really awesome & I believe that the fans' energy really pumps our guys up to play their hardest....why else would we be called the 12th Man?

Now, let's go back to the important part of the big day...the FOOD! What kind of food will you be preparing for the big game? We will be having dinner with my in-laws, so I can't make as much food as I want to, but I am making a few things:

--I'm going to try out an artichoke dip recipe. My husband's Aunt makes a delicious artichoke dip, but she won't give out her 'secret recipe'...so I have to find one on my own! I found one on Pinterest that I think will be good! I will share the recipe after I try it!
--I will also be making a spinach dip that is incredible with sweet Hawaiian bread! I can't take credit for the dip though, you can find it on the back of a Knorr's Vegetable Dip Mix packet (you can usually find these packets in the soup aisle, or sometimes by the store's deli area)
--I also plan to make some good ol' yummy chocolate cupcakes & decorate them to look like footballs! I just want to keep it sweet & simple! I use boxed cake mix for cupcakes. I'm not the best at baking from scratch. I would hate to make a homemade cupcake recipe, not have it turn out well, and be cupcake-less for the big game! LOL I will try it one day, but NOT on Super Bowl Sunday!

Well that is about it for excitement around here. Hope everyone is having a great week! The weekend is almost here! *Happy Dance!*  

Feel free to share some of your favorite game day foods!

Go Hawks!!
