Super Bowl Sunday is always a big deal in our house. I make a lot of food because I just never know who is going to show up. There has to be something for everyone, but I don’t like to create a menu that's all over the place, which creates havoc in the kitchen (and your stomach). I make sure to select dishes that won’t disappoint, and to have plenty of options, since the game is long and people will eat for hours. They mostly nosh until halftime, when I serve the main meal. There isn't much eating during fourth quarter, but after, everyone gathers around the table again to pick up where they left off. This year, I'm making Pulled Pork Carnitas. The recipe is from my show, Big Bowl of Love. This video shows just how easy it is to make. It's one of my favorite recipes, and is always a huge hit! Next up will be my chicken wing recipe, because what’s the Super Bowl without wings?
