I have a hot date with some old friends.
I wish I was going to someone’s house who had all kinds of great food made so I could just graze and sample, without doing any of the work involved in cooking or in doing all those dirty party dishes. Attending parties, rather than throwing them, has huge benefit: You get to eat without the work. If you happen to be throwing a party and need any recipe ideas, here’s 25: Savory Sides & Entrees Cheesy Taco Casserole (Gluten Free with Vegan option)

Ages ago I put together a Game Day Recipes post, complete with savory recipes, soups, chili, dips, and more (many of which I’ve forgotten about because it’s been so long since I’ve made some of those savory recipes) And if you want some serious, hardcore Super Bowl Recipe browsing, may I suggest these posts: Jessica – 25 Recipes That Should Be On Your Super Bowl Menu Maria – 46 Super Bowl Recipes for Super Bowl XLVI Michelle – 75 Super Bowl Recipes for Super Bowl XLVI Sarah – 25 Vegan Recipes for Your Super Bowl Party Hungry Yet? What are your Superbowl Plans? I plan to be walking around the mall, going for a run, doing yoga, cooking, taking pictures, flossing my teeth, cleaning my closet, doing underwater basket-weaving or something along those lines. I can guarantee with absolute certainty that I will not be watching the game. Do you have anything you’re excited to make (or to eat at someone else’s house because you know they’re making something fabulous)? If I was going to a party, one party food I love is Spinach and Artichoke Dip. A friend of ours in Aruba makes the most fabulous spinach and artichoke dip for Christmas parties. I love it so much, and one year I ate about three pounds worth of spinach and cream cheese and sour cream at a happy hour party and then went nighttime Scuba diving. Word to the wise, 60 feet under, pressurization, and a belly full of spinach do not mix, but her dip is good I can’t help myself. Happy Game Watching & Happy Eating!
