Swimtaxi234 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Since we just moved into a new house, I am not mentally up for having people over yet but I still want to make something special for a family Superbowl party. What are you making? :bigear: :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 My sister makes food from either the towns playing or the town hosting. We usually go somewhere but I think we are staying home this year. I need to make a menu too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I guess I should look that up so I don't go to Costco on the day before like I did last time. That was a huge mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Oh dear, is that happening? I totally forgot, lol. I suppose our friends will come over, and we'll probably feed them. We did chili one year, which is neither fancy nor festive but is at least warm on what will probably be a very cold day, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Family only here, but want to do something festive: Pulled pork sandwiches Tortilla chips and a layered Mexican dip Probably some kind of fruit or salad just to make it a little bit healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ofus Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 King Cake shipped directly from N'Awlins. Randazzo's preferably. Every year in February I am sad sad sad to be living in a state that does not celebrate Mardi Gras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year in February I am sad sad sad to be living in a state that does not celebrate Mardi Gras. I grew up in southern Louisiana, so I smiled a big smile this morning when I read "King Cake". Great memories! Back to the menu ... my daughter requested a 7-layer dip. My son requested grilled hot dogs AND hamburgers (doubt that will happen :laugh:)..

LucyStoner Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 SuperBowl Sunday will find me over at a friends house preparing her Schedule C and 1040 and eating potato pancakes. Potato pancakes and taxes. Woohoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelAR05 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 We are having a Tex-Mex theme party. I am ordering tamales, then making Spanish rice, guacamole, cheese dip, Pioneer Woman Grilled Corn Dip and Eight Layer Dip. I may also make Chicken Faijitas with grilled vegetables. Friends are bringing more goodies. Go Broncos!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 SuperBowl Sunday will find me over at a friends house preparing her Schedule C and 1040 and eating potato pancakes. Potato pancakes and taxes. Woohoo. That actually sounds like a lot more fun than watching the SuperBowl. But I actually like doing taxes. Playing with numbers is fun. Football on the other hand is one of the most boring things ever. I don't even know (or care) who is playing this year. I'm glad my family is just as disinterested in sports as I am. I grew up in a family that loved sports and it was miserable because you couldn't even walk through a room without getting yelled at for walking past the TV. No TV means no one cares where or when we walk through a room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainySunday Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 My mom and dad are hosting, as they usually do. They are doing homemade chile verde, and lots of snacks. I am bringing a fancied up crown jewel cake and cupcakes in the appropriate color scheme (blue and green, of course!). I am not really a football fan, but being in the Seattle area, it's fun that the local team made it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimtaxi234 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 possibly meatballs (if I can find the time) kewb - I love to make meatballs from scratch, but last month I was in a hurry, so I bought meatballs from the freezer section in my grocery store. My husband and children raved about how good the meatballs were that night. :cursing: :cursing: Making meatballs from scratch is time consuming, etc. and since my family loved the frozen ones, I might alternate making and buying them. If you are running short on time, try buying them frozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkacz Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 We host a large yearly party. I don't even know who's playing. I'll be picking up the catering order at Bertuccis consisting of chicken parm, chicken Marsala, rigatoni abruzzi, 4 party pizzas and rolls. I'm responsible for chips, dip, salsa, guacamole and warming the kielbasa and frozen meatballs. Dessert is store bought cupcakes, cookies and bite size brownies if I can find them. The real fun will be cleaning the house Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 We host the youth group from church every year. 3 rooms of teens and advisors...it's really fun and no pressure! We have pizza (someone picks it up) and typical snacks--Texas Caviar, 8 layer dip, chips with salsa and potato chips with french onion dip, veggies and ranch, and assorted baked goods left over from the Mission Trip bakesale that takes place at church the morning of the SB. Kids all bring one thing to share. With 30 people, we have leftovers! I hope someone brings wings this year... Old School. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithManor Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Roast beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, and green beans in the mid-afternoon. Chili and cream cheese dip and artichoke/spinach dip for snack time. If the mood strikes me, I might make them baked apples, and there will be a kettle of popcorn before the whole thing is over. Though, I'll admit that NFL is not my thing...just college ball. So, we don't actually watch the game. It's all an excuse to make special food.

Baseball mom Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Ugh I forgot to pick stuff up while I was out this week. :banghead: I really don't want to go out today and wouldn't you know we are out of all "party" foods dh & kiddos enjoy while watching the game. :thumbdown: I guess I will either be heading to the store today or digging through cabinets and freezers to see what I can come up with.

I am also going to a anti-Super Bowl party, I am not anti, but my friends who are hosting are :). I am making cheddar beer fondue with homemade pretzel bites, apples, celery, and broccoli for dipping, guacamole and chips, and Pioneer woman apple dumplings.

This all came together only on Monday under great secrecy, so it's been a week. :rofl: Awesome! Do you get to stay for the game? Nope. Rush in, wait....wait....wait, sing, rush out. Police were practicing escorting buses hither and thither during dress rehearsal Friday afternoon. I will say, security was rather impressive, and that's only the part I could see. DW and I have been on that field many times back when we taught marching band, so the venue is familiar, although the circumstances are, uh...different this time.

umsami Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I don't know if we'll be watching because of the sexuality in some of the commercials. (Yes, you call roll eyes if necessary). But we might. We always do nuked Ro-Tel and Velveeta Cheese and chips. Easy peasy. Usually pizza or a submarine sandwich or some sort…but I'm thinking of doing BBQ chicken sliders today because I'm pretty sure I have all of the ingredients. And some sort of sweet like brownies or cupcakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbecueMom Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 We're having homemade boneless buffalo wings (I haven't bothered with these since I've been gluten and dairy free, so excited!), pizza (one paleo-ish, two take-and-bakes for the gluten eaters), veggies and fruit, chips, cheese, dips and salsa. I bought a box of cookies for the kids, and debating going out for a box of Chex to make muddy buddies. The bingo game sounds fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you making? :bigear: :bigear: At my son's request, I just made my "famous" crab spread. It's something I only make on Superbowl Sunday and maybe one other day a year. In addition to that, we'll just do other snacky-type foods. We'll just be staying home. I may miss the beginning of the game if I decide to go to the evening service at church tonight. We went this morning, and had to leave early because dh wasn't feeling well. If I decide to go, ds will stay here with dh. We 're voting on purchasing some land; I would most likely stay home if it weren't for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicheleinMN Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 This year I made stew for dinner because I had stew meat sitting in the fridge and needed to do something with it. I did make artichoke dip and bought two kinds of hummus plus a bunch of different types of crackers, and I think dh picked up some soda and some sort of summer sausage. It's just us, and only ds 15 and I give a hoot about the game. Dh will probably be in the garage working on his Nova. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
