Ok, party is tomorrow!! Oh yeah – so is the Superbowl :) Kinda sad really…it’s that same feeling that I get on December 24th. Loving Christmas so, so much but knowing it will all be over soon. Same thing with football season.
But oh fiddle-dee-dee, I’ll be Scarlett and think about that tomorrow! Menu will be:
Today’s Macaroni and Cheese (Rick Bayless recipe)
Jambalaya (scoured Internet for recipe – found on that sounds good on Food Network)
Hogs in a Blanket with cheesy dipping sauce
Buffalo Chicken Hot Wing Dip (Hungry Girl’s healthier version!)
Chips and Salsa
Ruffles with sour cream dip – always the first thing to be demolished no matter what
Various cheeses and crackers (courtesy of @missmelon)
Veggies (have to offer them even tho always the LAST thing to go no matter what!)
Homemade brownies (courtesy of @sonya415)
Beer (husband’s one job since I don’t drink beer)
And of course bubbly for me :)
People will bring stuff I imagine so I have no idea what else will be added to this but this is what I am making or know will be brought. I just need to figure out timing on making everything though…
Making Cipiriani’s pea risotto tonight with some chicken for dinner. I ate very little yesterday and won’t eat much today in preparation for dinner and tomorrow’s food fest. Yikes….my stepper will be my friend next week I guess.
I like both teams. And would be happy for either team to win. I need a high-scoring game to win our office pool but doesn’t actually matter which teams wins – just lots and lots of points on the board! But Peyton Manning is my QB1 so I’m rooting for the Colts to win. And will be wearing my #18 jersey tomorrow!
I hope for a good game played by both teams. No blow outs. And of course looking forward to some good commercials. I always tear up at the National Anthem because I’m a goofball. But I hush everyone up for that and always stand for it – even in my living room. The half time show? Well…I’ll watch it I guess. I think I know a song or 2 by The Who. I think? I must, right?
Storm is quite excited for the Superbowl as well. He is strategizing his food stealing knowing that tomorrow’s guests will be easy targets :)
What are you doing for the Superbowl??

I get kind of bummed too at the end of football, but I can look forward to the end of hockey season and then lacrosse kicks off until football preseason starts. Your food spread sounds great and it always is more fun with friends around.
I would have been more psyched up to see the Who if it was the band, but since Keith and John are dead, it is kind of weird – but they have some great songs that will absolutely not get played.
I actually think the game will be lame – a better story would have been if Favre was playing – would have made a better story. I would hate to see Shockey holding the trophy too.
Anyway, my rant is done – have lots of fun!

I’ll get sucked into March Madness but really nothing till pre-season again. I will be interested to see where Tebow plays.
Just ate a yummy risotto but I’m sure eat some food tomorrow too. Then hit the cardio next week to balance it all! Yikes so many carbs!!
Ha! I am just hoping for a fun game, good commercials and high enough score that I won the office pool. Girl power!! :)
