SuperBowl Menu???

Not sure we’ll be having anything special if I end up going out of town this weekend, but MAYBE. Plus it wouldn’t be a Super Bowl year without a CC Super Bowl Menu thread!

Are you making a Super Bowl feast/snack/dinner???

We will be at our cabin. No Super Bowl! What a concept.

^^^^ But you can pretend and still have football food!!! :slight_smile:

We will be at a lung medical conference that is free complete with free breakfast, lunch and international faculty! Hope the food is good. Wonder if they will mention nCoR.

My husband is a San Francisco native and lifelong 49ers fan.

We don’t go to/host any parties b/c our kids have school the next day but my parents invited themselves over this time :wink: My husband is making cioppino. We’ve cut out most carbs but we will have a nice sourdough bread for my parents and kids.

Kids requested typical game food so we will also have chips and guacamole and wings.

Cioppino! That’s the kind of Super Bowl party I’d like to go to. I’d invite myself over too! Does your husband have a preferred recipe?

My in laws have had a SB party their entire married lives! It moved to my BIL’s house about 10 years ago. Tons of people. Menu is usually meatballs, stuffed shells, Mac and cheese, salad, Ahi tuna, vegetarian chili (made with portobello mushrooms) homemade Stromboli etc. And the desserts! It’s a good time.

We are going to a party. I’m bringing a dessert- Oreo cookie brownies. That’s the extent of my cooking this year :).

We have a small family party - the menu includes one thing picked by each person; whatever they want. So, absolutely no cohesion: when the kids were small the menu was heavy with desserts; now it’s a little more savory, but still random. I remember one year, one of my kids just wanted m&m’s. That was easy!

I realized their must be a Superbowl this weekend when I saw people yesterday buying tons of party food. Who is playing? DH usually turns it on to watch the half time show and then gets suckered into watching the rest of it. Lately the second halves have been pretty exciting games. It’s long after dinner by then and I don’t think we’ve ever done more eating.

Our good friends host a large party every year. Since the kids were young they heat the pool so they can swim. It’s a potluck and I usually make a healthy salad and bring my famous chocolate chip cookies. One of our friends usually goes our fishing before the game and brings fresh yellowtail or bluefin. Another friend brings lobster so we have great food. There are normally 5 or more tv’s up around the house and outside. Weather tomorrow in San Diego is supposed to be 76 at my house near the coast, but cools down to 65 degrees on Sunday.
@mathmom - it’s San Francisco versus Kansas City.

Love the old standbys (wings, guac, etc.) and the unique things like seafood and cioppino - wow! Also love the family traditions - especially the one where each family member could choose a dish.

We don’t watch football, but we always have a special family dinner on Sundays. My parents will be joining us this week. Just took a standing rib roast out of my freezer (snagged a good deal at Aldi before xmas) and will make that. :smile:

Not going to a party and not going to make anything special either. I want to actually watch the game and H is dieting so nothing fattening.

But if I was going to a party, I would be tempted to make this https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/food/story/make-chef-richard-blais-epic-cauliflower-tot-chos-68636067

I had tot-chos at a local restaurant and it was so good. But no way I would use cauliflower tots, I’d put the regular ones in my air fryer. And I probably couldn’t find soy-rizo so would have to substitute another protein. The local restaurant used pork carnitas.

So here’s my make believe recipe to go to my make believe party.

No Pats, no menu.

Yes, I’m on board with any form of nachos including tot-chos! :slight_smile: I made a delicious meatless Mediterranean nachos earlier this week using oven baked spicy pita chips, chickpeas, feta, olives, etc. Yummy!

I like to watch the superbowl for the football, not for parties, commercials, or the half time show. That said, maybe I’ll make nachos for dinner for me and H. That sounds good and simple at the moment.

Last year a squirrel shorted out a substation 10 min before kick-off. A good 1/4 of the City was without power for the entire game - myself included. <cry!> </cry!>

I thought that the only questions are: What type of beer should we drink? and what should we put on the nachos? I do like the suggestions above for guacamole.

I am making a Chicago-style deep dish pizza and bringing to my Dad’s for a small family Super Bowl watch party. Others are bringing some kind of appetizers (need some kind of SB snack) and salad.

We are going to a friend’s party. Not really thrilled about it - we prefer to put on our jammies and relax at home with pizza and wings! But I’ll just be making a dessert - probably football cupcakes!
