For me, Super Bowl is all about the food. It's the ONE game of the year that I care anything about and like many, I really care about the commercials. I like to see how offended I can become from the over-sexual themes marketing our young (and older?) men today...
Sorry about the side-rant. We were talking about food. Super Bowl food.
What will I make this year??? Here's my planning plate:
~ Shrimp Ceviche and red corn chips (as much organic I can but I don't let that stop me with super bowl food.) It's all about fat and grease and yummy goodness...
For this dish, I basically make picco de gallo (or buy from local Mexican store to save time) and add shrimp, lime, salt and Tapatio.
Then I sit alone, close my eyes and imagine heaven being similar to that feeling I have when eating ceviche.
~ Pulled Pork I use The Pioneer Woman's recipe. Serve with warm tortillas. We live this out on the counter all afternoon and just feast on it.
~ Brie and hot jalapeno jelly delicious.
~ Chili Con Queso, again from the Pioneer Woman. To. Die. For.
As for dessert, well, I've usually had my fill of fat by that time but I'll let my Mom serve up some ice cream for those peeps who need something sweet and cool to top it all off.
Yep, I think that's why I'm making. Oh, I almost forgot:
Little Smokies Cooked in BBQ Sauce in the crock pot. That is for my son, Reg.
And I always make WAY too much so we eat this fat laden food for a week and gain 10 lbs. Sigh.

Family Vacay
Since I forgot the cable to load pictures from the camera...there won't be any pix on it. Sorry.
We decided at Christmas to take a mini vacay to see my brother who lives in Hailey. This is a long weekend, celebrating MLK Day so we will remember while sledding!
On Sunday after church, we ate a yummy chili meal my Mom had made and hit the road for Hailey! Rain and fog greeted us for the the majority of the drive and warm weather made the roads non-icy.
We arrived at supper time and my brother met us at the Inn before taking us to a fantastic Mexican joint... Lago Azul. RAVE reviews from this family! The portions were generous enough most of us shared an entree. It's a small 10 table joint that has delicious authentic Mexican food. I ordered pollo con crema and shared with my mom, The girls got the same and shared. PLENTY of food. My Dad got chili colorado and the flavor was perfect, meat was tender - yum! DH got lengua en cevollada which he really enjoyed. My bro got caldo de rez and after he'd eaten all the good stuff, the little boys drank the broth! When it was time to pay, I was ready for a pretty good size check since each entree was $10... not really figuring in my head, just going by the amout of food on the table. Total bill - $55 for 9 people and more food than we could eat. Will we go back? YES! My bro eats here about once a week and I can see why!
Fun evening of hot tubbing for the kids, visiting for us old folks and then bro went home, little ones went to bed and DH, the girls and I played Banagrams and Uno til midnight! FUN!
Today will consist of getting dressed, eating and SLEDDING! We stopped and picked up a couple more sleds on the way out of town and we're in for a fun filled of BLUE skies and WHITE snow covered mountains to sled down.
The goal? To have utterly ehausted children for ride home this evening and nothing but fun memories planted in their minds for years to come.
