[ insert token Super Bowl snack post here ]
I couldn’t help myself! Especially if it means I get to bring you my favorite food (veggies!) topped with my other favorite food (CHEESE!) in the name of a game I only watch for the commercials.
Unless of course we’re talking college football, then I’m all over that screen like cheese on a veggie. No regrets. Florida State FTW!
Anywho! For those of you who insist the food is the main attraction of a Super Bowl party anyways (because let’s face it, it totally is!), here are a few goodies you can bring you your friend’s yearly let’s-pretend-this-is-about-the-sports shindig.
Or better yet, throw your own! Your couch is the comfiest anyways and this way you can control what’s watched during half-time…
Like the puppy bowl!

For those of you looking for a few lighter options to sneak on the table next to the ooey gooey, last years party post featured my favorite healthy game day eats, featuring some lighter eats that still packs a punch in the flavor department; they’re delicious!
This year I’m adding some of the more indulgent fare that you’ve come to expect from parties involving TVs and beer. Moderation, folks! It makes the world a far yummier place to live in.
(and eat in!)
Get your grocery list ready!

Wait! The Super Bowl isn’t all about the snacks? That’s all I give a hoot about. I’ll just make all these snacks and stay home and watch Food Network. That works for me.
I guess I’m a weirdo because I actually like seeing all the pics. I think I’m a visual person and all the words kinda blur together with all the titles. Regardless, this is a great list! I love party food. 🙂
