Super Bowl Blog
Super Bowl is upon us, and whether or not you’re actually interested in the game – have no fear: There are always the commercials and this year’s much-anticipated Beyoncé performance. So, something for everyone and (as always) a great excuse to get together with family and friends for a little quality time and good eats.
If you are hosting this year, have no fear – I’ve put together lots of recipe ideas that will make for a memorable spread. Going to someone else’s house for the big game? Bring one of these dishes and you’re sure to be invited back next year!
I’ve included ideas from both of my shows. And, here’s a recent cooking segment and interview from ABC 7 in Chicago where I share tips and recipes for healthier Game Day fare including Deviled Eggs and Healthy Seven Layer Dip.
As always, please share your thoughts and pictures on Facebook and Twitter!
Enjoy!
