Superbowl Bites Recap


So I broke my everyday posting rule yesterday.  I didn't mean too, but between a ridiculous cold that got the better of me over the past week and prepping for the big game, there was just no time.

Then there was the outcome of the game, an outcome I was less that thrilled with, as anyone who reads my blog here would know.  So you could say I wasn't in the mood to share the treats I made yesterday.

So that's what you get today.  I actually didn't make anything from my round-up, but they are each bookmarked on the list or things to make.

Superbowl Bites: 20 Recipes for your Superbowl Party


I could share with you the recipes I've posted over the last week, or how about the last couple of years that are some serious game day pleasers.

Instead I did some browsing around the web and compiled 20 seriously drool-worthy recipes that I think would be an amazing addition to your game-watching experience.

All of them are totally doable by kick-off tomorrow, so for all of those procrastinators out there (ahem, me) here you go!

Superbowl Bites: Buffalo Blue Cheese Dip



It can't be the Superbowl without a dip.

My all-time favorite will always be onion dip.  I can literally eat vats of it.

It also can't be the SuperBowl without something buffalo.  I, of course, mean the spicy flavor of buffalo wings, not the Buffalo Bills, who sadly haven't been to the show in almost 10 years and have never actually won!

Anyway, since I have yet to make a delicious spicy buffalo treat for this year's round of Superbowl bites, it only seemed right to combine the two classic dishes into one Buffalo Blue Cheese Dip.

Pizza, Pizza everywhere!


my Margherita pizza and the Boy's Diavola
It seems I've been eating quite a bit of pizza lately.

Tonight is my mom's last night here in Toronto and the Boy and I realized we hadn't yet taken her out for a proper dinner (and no a last minute dinner at our local Shoeless Joe's so doesn't count!).

Anyway, we decided to hit up an old favorite, Queen Margherita Pizza. Though not quite as local as it was before we moved, it was delicious nonetheless.

If you ever find yourself in the T dot I highly recommend doing a mini Vera Pizza Napoletana tour in the East End.  Hitting up QMP and Pizzeria Libretto, both are delicious and both have their own reasons for visiting.

Buon Appetito!

Superbowl Bites: Pulled Pork Nachos



Nachos are another go to game food for me.

Actually when we go to the bar to watch any sport, I always crave nachos.  The problem is the boy always wants wings, hence the Buffalo Chicken Nachos I made last year.  They were delicious, but this year was all about taking one dish and turning it into a couple of different things. 

That's where these nachos come in.  I had the Beer Braised Pulled Pork leftover, so why not turn it into a delicious tray of nachos?
