just did a nice dinner of pork chops stuffed with apples, sage and proscuitto, roasted butternut squash with thyme, and champ potatoes. not exactly superbowl fare but good.

I was a cooking fool, cooking enough food for 25 when there was only 4 of us. I made smoked gouda mac & cheese, avacado salsa, jalapeno popper dip, amazing sliders on Pretzel rolls, big green olives encased in a cheese mixture and baked, and chip and dip cookies. (cookies made with crushed chips and pretzels dipped in chocolate) Leftovers anyone?

Wife made a baked Zitti from the recipe out of Cook Illustrated.....simpley awsome!!!

All of the food groups: hamburgers, hotdogs with chili and cheese, sauced chicken wings, pico de gallo, dips of all kinds, veggie tray, beer, chardonay, brownies, chocolate chip cookies. A traditional feast.

I was at a party w/about 25 other people. I made jalapeno popper dip & baked onion dip to go along w/the chicken wing dip, dill dip w/bread, taco dip & homemade salsa that others brought. I also made macaroni salad to go w/the deli platters the host put out. There was also roast beef, chili, and shrimp scampi. Certainly an eclectic spread.....I don't think there were many leftovers though!
Oh yea...2 types of brownies, pumpkin cake w/cream cheese frosting and store bought red velvet cake for dessert.

Sunday is my day to get a head start on dinners for the week, so we had lots of odds and ends and turned them into dinner. I roasted a chicken in the afternoon and shredded the dark meat for a BBQ chicken pizza (the bf's favorite, with spicy BBQ sauce, red onions, chicken, and fontina). The chicken breasts will reappear on a busy weeknight. I used the last of some homemade tomato sauce, along with the mushrooms, zucchini, and arthichokes leftover from a minestrone and a tuna salad, and made a veggie pizza for myself. We also had some guacamole (because I love it) and some white beans with cabbage and ham (because I made too much of it), all over the course of several hours. We're grazers.

God, that sounds like a terribly unappetizing combination... It was delicious!

@huney - I watched the puppy bowl too! Show me puppies any time, I'm there:-) I also watched the 3D trailer and the 12 minutes of Bruce Springsteen. Other than that, I was working (and whimpering, but that's another story).

I made wings, smoked sausage, caramelised onions and peppers, homemade rolls and potato salad - sadly, the only thing I could eat was potato salad as it required very minimal chewing.

I made a slow cooker pulled pork that was fabulous, plus wings cheesy potatoes, broccoli slaw, cookies and brownies, all washed down with iron city beer and/or "Phoenix" Margaritas. I'm new to hosting and this was my first big party where I did all the cooking. I was very happy with how it all turned out on my freshman run.

Buffalo Chicken Dip and Baked Wings w/ 4 different sauces: BBQ, Teriyaki, Mild Wing Sauce and Chipolte in Adobo with Agave Nectar.

It was my dad's birthday, he chose the menu, and it was quite tasty! I made a Prime Rib Roast with Horseradish Cream, Southern Style Green Beans, Broccoli Gratin, and Buttery Yellow Cake (America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book) with chocolate buttercream frosting.

I must confess I did miss some game day eats such as bacon wrapped jalapenos, and cheeseballs, as well as anything mini, or able to be dipped!

As much as I should despise the Steelers (go Browns!) I had to be happy for MAC men (Harrison, Roethlisberger) , and OSU grad (Holmes) doing so well!

Stuffed jalapenos, fresh salsa, Ruebens that were amazing, and a few other snackies.

southwestern chicken tenders w/ two dips- honey jalapeno dip and creamy cilantro chipotle dip; classic buffalo wings (in the oven); guacamole, salsa, and chips; cheese & crackers; bratwurst w/ an assortment of heinz condiments

leftover turdunken sandwiches (hot or cold) depending on the person.
Lobster and regular mashed potatoes
Gravy and stuffing
dips of varieous sorts and chips
steamed brussels sprouts
cranberry sauce
corn
spinach salad
raspberry pie with whipped cream on top

I was at a party with a couple dozen other football fans, watching on a giant screen. I brought recipe-girls peanut butter cup brownies...to die for! Unfortunately everybody else brought pedestrian, ho-hum stuff. Frozen this, overcooked that. Leathery chicken wings, cream cheese blocks with jelly dumped on top. Boxes of crackers...like saltines. Cubes of cheese. The brownies were a huge hit. They were the only sweet. Had to eat leftovers when we got home. We were hungry!

pizza! 3 of em...
1 with pizza sauce, mozz, yellow pepper, onion, mushroom, spinach
1 "mexican" style with fresh salsa, cheddar, jalepenos, onion, sour cream
1 plain-ish (used the odds and ends that were left over from the others)

i wish i made dessert pizza, but just made brownies instead.

A friend from Buffalo, NY was in town, so she whipped a few local treat: chicken finger subs slathered with bleu cheese spread. Yummy!

We hosted a party for my husband's staff. My husband virtually did all the work. He smoked pork butts and ribs. Lovely. Made a gazillion buffalo wings with blue cheese and ranch dressings...oh that was good blue cheese dressing...lots of blue cheese chunks. And to round things out, con queso cheese sauce, chips and salsa, baked beans, bean dip, coleslaw for the bbq pork, buns, beer, and wine. And a few dirty martinis. Wanted to make the PW's bacon wrapped cream cheese jalepenos, but ran out of time. I ran the football pool.

Leftover salad because I was studying :(

Veggie enchiladas with green chile sauce, deviled eggs, a bag of Doritos and a bag of Double Stuff Oreos.

hey everybody-i miss you guys...never get a chance to get on here anymore...sigh. anyway, awesome party last night for my steelers...had loaded potato skins, hot spinach-artichoke dip, chocolate chip cookies, fresh salsa and chips, a layered dessert of alternating fudge pudding, silver dollar pancakes, and french vanilla pudding, pierogies, iron city beer and rolling rock. (couldn't get yuengling, unfortunately...)

I made tortas, Mexican sub,a wheat Bolillo(this is a small version of french bread) with refried beans, carnitas (pork), avocado, sour cream and Queso Fresco ( a crumble cheese similar to feta). And Fresh fruit for dessert. It was just my bf a friend and myself.

Ended up snowboarding until halftime, so it was take-out burritos from my favorite spot. Was worth it because no one was on the mountain!
I'm looking forward to eating my leftover burrito nub when I get home, but wondering how to heat it up. I don't have a microwave. Would the toaster oven work, or should I just eat it cold?

I served items form my Superbowl Snack-a-thon at:

Ate way too much! I made crunchy jalapeno bites, jalapeno cream cheese filled wontons, seven layer dip and pizza bites. Ohhh they were so good, but I probably should've paced myself a little better, I was still full this morning when I woke up. :)

I was invited to a potluck party, so I made a pot of homemade chili, red velvet mini-cupcakes and the blue-cheese bacon dip featured on SE a couple days ago - all came out fantastic.

But, I was SO disappointed, cause I loooove seven layer dip, and I kept thinking "well, I won't waste my time/money making that, surely someone will bring a seven layer dip. it's practically super bowl religion." Well... no seven layer dip. :( Like most of the people here, I don't eat stuff like that very often, so I was really looking forward to a one-day indulgence. Bummer.

Ugh! I made heart attack pizza and drank cheap wine. I can still feel it today, 24 hours later.

I went over to a friends house and I made the Cincinnati Chili from Cook's Illustrated, pasta to serve it over, and also made the CI cornbread to accompany it. It was ready to go by the beginning of the second half. Oh, and we each had one of the Trader Joe's cups of exotic chocolate ice cream from the pack of four different ones for dessert.

Steak chili that had been cooking for hours, corn bread, Oreo fudge cookie brownies, and grapefruit and peach (from home canned peaches) martinis.

Nothing, we had dinner at 5:30. My husband is superstitious and he thinks we will lose if we have food out during the game.

bobcatsteph3, I'm glad to hear your happy for our boys. I hope the Browns are in the Super Bowl someday, good luck with the new coach. Our new coach won the Super Bowl!

Went to a party at a gloriously palacial home - unfortunately owned by two non-foodies. The hostess could not find her way around a baked pasta - it was mushy and tasteless. Luckily, a guest brought baby back ribs that were TDF. I brought Nutella Brownies - Definitely a high point.

Regardless of the bad food, we had a great time and it was good to meet some of our neighborhood-mates.

Doritos and wine.
