Cooking for the Big Game
Do you watch the Super Bowl at home, out, or at a house party?
We usually watch at home, but have also gone to house parties over the years. And while I like football (something about the sounds of football that I really love!), I don't really have a team of my own and I'm not all concerned with who wins. For me it's more about the commercials, half-time, and of course, the food.
Fun appetizers are a must for game watching. Couldn't you just make a meal out of appetizers? I totally could and always go overboard when making apps - there's no such thing as too much in my opinion.
Here are some of my favorite apps to make for friends and family - I hope you find some to add to your game day grub! For the complete list of my apps, check out the Appetizer page of my Recipe Index.
Dips
This Caramelized Onion, Bacon and Gruyere Dip is one you will want to sit in front of and not move. It has been a big hit every time I have made it.
If you have two minutes you can make this Loaded Baked Potato Dip.
Jalapeno Popper Dip. Need I say more?
And for something a little fancier, try this Creamy Sundried Tomato Pesto Dip. Sundried tomatoes, artichokes and hot and bubbly cheese - yes please!

Bite-Sized
These Tortilla Pinwheels are one of the simplest appetizers on my blog and they get the most hits! I make them for almost every party and have brought them to many gatherings. By the end of the party I always have several people asking for the recipe. Best thing about them - you make them the night before, wrap them up and store them in the fridge overnight. When it's time for the party, just slice and serve.
My mouth is watering thinking about these Loaded Baked Potato Bites. Aren't they so cute?
I love pizza. Serve it up in a adorable little package with these Pepperoni Pizza Rolls.
And one fancier option, French Onion Cheese Bread.
Some Main Dish Ideas
Want something more than apps but still keeping with the Big Game theme? Try these -
Sweet Ham and Swiss Sliders
White Chicken Chili
The Easiest & Creamiest Mac-n-Cheese. I'd serve this one up with some kielbasa or sausage on the side.
