I want to do a little recap of yesterdays big game, because football is such an important part of my life.

…NOT! I want to talk about the FOOD!

We did not have a big party yesterday. We never have had a big Superbowl party, its always just our family. For me and the kids, the best part is the food. And the commercials. Normally, we have some combination of the typical cheese dip with the hunk of Velveeta, a seven layer dip, and some kind of sandwich. This year, with most of my family on a “healthy eating plan”, I mixed it up a bit. And it was a huge success!

Here are the recipes I tried – there are no pictures of the food I made. Please, with three men, do you think I had a chance to take a picture?

Smoky Sweet Wings - these were my favorite.

Baked Parmesan Garlic Chicken Wings - these wings made my sons swoon, seriously. Even the picky eater.

Pico de Gallo - this was my attempt at a healthier dip, and we all loved it. I admit that I’m a chip and dip addict, so I’ll be making this one again.

Oreo balls - Ok, so these might not fit in the “healthier” category, but they definitely fit in the OMG category. I used the recipe as a guide, but I don’t have a food processor so my son crushed the precious oreos with a rolling pin. I dipped the crushed oreo mixture in almond bark instead of melted chocolate. Delish and sooo easy.

I don’t normally post recipes, but my family normally doesn’t gush about anything I make :)

        The superbowl is something that I Always look forward to. I remember when I was a kid and I went to the Detroit game with my dad. Those were the days. I really miss them a lot. We used to eat so much. The food there was insane. I will really cherish those days.
