Cooking Tip of the Day: Looking For More Super Bowl Party Ideas?

You’ve come to the right place!....... I’ve posted Mexican and Italian food ideas…. so what if those ideas don’t ring your chimes?... well here are a few other ideas for you to think about…. the choices are basic… you can go with munchies, dips and chips… throw in a few sweets… or sandwich type ideas… with salads… a menu that can be made almost completely ahead of time…

So here are a few more ideas …

Munchies...check out our Appetizer and Hors'dourves label...want to see a list?... Go to our Recipe and Tip Index to see a listing...now to name a few:

Lil Smokies in a Blanket

Nachos... instead of making them in a pile... use a large baking pan.... for example a 17x9.... and separate the chips more.. so it's easy for your guests to take a portion.

Mexican Layered Dip

Ranch Spinach Dip

Corned Beef Bread Dip

Want more substantial food?... here are some ideas:

Mini Ham and Swiss Party Sandwiches…. I just posted this today… they’re quick and easy and can be made completely ahead… and won’t break the bank… don’t like Ham and Swiss? … make any combinations of meats and cheeses you want…. salami and provolone… turkey and pepper jack cheese….you can even make tuna melts… just make the tuna salad and use whatever cheese you want … be creative!

Wings… make them ahead or buy those in the freezer section of the grocery store… heating them up is a snap

Burgers… for those of you in a warmer climate… put your man to work!... let him barbeque burgers… you take care of the rest… on a tight budget?....don’t want to make full size burgers … make mini ones (sliders)… set out fixin’s such as lettuce, tomato, onions, etc…. and condiments

Chicken Dippers…. Make your own ahead or buy the frozen ones and heat them up on game day… put out sauces to dip…

TIP: put spoons out in your sauces… gives them a hint to put the sauce on their plates and not dip in the bowl… helps prevent double dipping.

Make salads … they’re fairly cheap to make… make them completely ahead and they go with a number of terrific foods…. terrific with sandwiches, wings, burgers, or chicken dippers

Salads to go with your sandwiches, wings, burgers and chicken dippers:

Egg Potato Salad Fit for a Party…. the name says it all… a perfect go-together for a sandwich.

Coleslaw….

German Potato Salad...

New York Deli Style Potato Salad...

Classic Macaroni Salad...

Tuna Macaroni Salad...

Quick and Easy Salami and Provolone Pasta Salad...

Three Bean Salad...

Don’t forget Desserts…. cookies and bar cookies go well… lots to choose from… pick a couple and you’re good to go! To name a few….
