I love football and I’m lucky that our family enjoys the game and appreciates how much I do. You can’t talk to me during a game and you won’t eat either unless I have everything planned in advance!

They understand that I don’t want to miss a thing and I don’t want anyone asking me for stuff! I have it all down for Super Bowl and I plan the eating especially at half-time down to perfection. Everything is prepared in advance. The menu is set at least a week in advance and the shopping two days before which gives me the day before the big game to prepare.

I set up the buffet the night before along with the drinks that go into in a huge plastic tub so all I have to do the day of is assemble the food and bring out the ice. The only thing I make fresh in the morning is the guacamole. It just tastes better fresh! I’m not crazy about the taste after it sits in the fridge over night. I’m not much for eating junk food during the first and second quarter. Everyone fills up on sugar and salt then personalities start to change! (lol)

I try to keep everyone noshing on foods that will satisfy but not fill you up or make you fill bloated and uncomfortable. I like fresh cut up veggies with your favorite dip, hummus on grilled or toasted pita bread and my yummy taco bites!

Sending Big Bowls of Love,
