What's on your Super Bowl menu?

Anonymous
Looking for creative things that are not too much work and moderately healthy. And just curious what people are having!

crudite and hummus
devilled eggs
pigs in blankets (mostly for the kids - I am SICK of eating hot dogs)
chips

black bean soup
salad

GO ELI!

Healthy and Super Bowl do not go together.

I'm contributing homemade Mac n cheese and guacamole to our friends' party, and if I have time I'll also make jalapeƱos stuffed with cream chews and wrapped in bacon.

Is this called a jalapenos popper?

In reference to the stuffed jalapeno wrapped in bacon - I tried a similar recipe last year and blech. My DH, who loves anything spicy/jalapeno related, thought they were just "too much" as did I. I have a Bobby Flay recipe that I got from Parade or some such, that I've made for the past few Independence Days - people LOVE IT. It is similar to the below link, but I will type out the recipe from the actual article. I've never made the red pepper sauce.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/grilled-stuffed-jalapeno-chiles-with-grilled-red-pepper-tomato-sauce-recipe/index.html

The recipe I use:

4oz. cream cheese at room temp
2 oz. soft goat cheese
1 1/4 cups shredded white cheddar cheese
2 green onions (green and pale-green part, thinly sliced)
salt and black pepper
12 large jalapenos, halved lengthwise, stemmed and seeded
1 heaping tbsp. ancho chili powder

1. Heat grill to medium
2. Whisk together the cream cheese and goat cheese into a medium bowl until smooth.
3. Fold in the cheddar and onions; season with salt and pepper.
4. Fill each jalapeno half with about 2 tbsp. of the mixture; sprinkle the top with ancho powder
5. Place jalapenos on the grill, filling-side-up, and cook until slightly charred and tender, about 8-10 minutes.

You then spoon the red pepper sauce over it, if you choose to make it. I think it's totally unnecessary. You can obviously prepare in advance and cook them throughout the get-together, or cook them all at once. I haven't tried it but I think they would work fine in the oven or broiler.

We're breaking out the fry daddy for sweet potato fries and wings. Also, cornbread, veggie chili and he made buttermilk ice cream.

He made= home made.

Not healthy, but DH is making calzones. He's really good at making them and I intend to stuff myself silly.

I'm making guacamole.

And for fun today, DD and I are going to attempt cake pops.

Diet starts (again) tomorrow.

Two crockpots going - one with BBQ beef (chuck roast) and one with BBQ (pork) ribs. Also have hot dogs and munchies.

We also bought lots of Sam Adams in response to the NY bar decision:
