We are getting ready for the big game tomorrow organizing our Super Bowl Food. The excitement in this city is palpable! A section of Times Square has been converted to Super Bowl Boulevard. It’s crazy, you can even ride a toboggan there. It’s warmed up and the initial rain that was predicted has been taken off the menu. Woo hoo!
My husband and I are having a little party tomorrow and I’m serving up traditional football-watching food. My super easy nachos, spicy chicken chili with all the toppings, along with Jasmine rice, cornbread, a big tossed salad with a sherry vinaigrette and brownies with ice cream and strawberries for dessert. All the recipes are here if you’d like to follow my lead. My husband would totally love those little pigs in a blanket but I won’t let him have it. Way too unhealthy. And last I heard, my good friend Margaret, who is coming, is making homemade stuffed grape leaves. I am very excited for those! I’ve never had homemade grape leaves.
Our January newsletter went out yesterday – in the neck of time. (Yep, last minute Mary here!) The newsletter features recipes not available on the blog and I’m suggesting a great Valentine’s Day menu – Veal Chops with Sage and a super easy Chocolate Souffle. If you’d like to receive it, at no charge, please sign up for it in the upper right hand corner and I’ll be sure to get it to you.
And while I’m at it, a LOVE apron would make a nice little Valentine’s Day gift for your sweetie. Click on the ad in the right hand column and we’ll get one right out to you.
May your favorite team win tomorrow!!

Delicious food and very cute apron! Hope whoever your favorite team is wins tomorrow. I am going to a party but don’t think it’s football related, there will be lots of good food though.

Well I think it was better your party was not focused on football – it was a lousy game!

All the food looks delicious! I was actually thinking about making a Chocolate Souffle for Valentine’s Day, but have yet to think of what to make for the main course. Will be sure to sign up for the newsletter 😀

Hi Lidia!! We had a great party but my team didn’t win and it was a really sucky game. But, we were well fed!

These brownies are special! They are truly delicious but not overly-rich, like some versions I’ve been reading about lately. If you try them, please let me know how you like them.
