The Original Bad Bob Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Grape jelly (or blackberry) meatballs, corn chips, and some fresh salsa. Washed down with your favorite suds. I prefer Sam Adams when I want a hardy beer, Yeungling for a medium bodied, or Michelobe Ultra if you like beer flavored fizzy water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Dang...I wasn't planning on having a Super Bowl party, but after reading these recipes, I think I'm gonna have one.

Complicated Lady Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 It looks like I will have to make something with the ingredients I have on hand. It is still so cold out and I'm taking care of my grand daughter tonight. I won't get her out in this weather to go buy groceries. I will have to wait for another time to try out some of the recipes y'all suggested. Some of them sound very good. That's okay... I always have something on hand that I can whip up. Here are a couple of my favorites. Hot Pizza Dip 1 8 oz. package cream cheese softened 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded 3/4 cup parmesan cheese 8 oz. pizza sauce 2 tablespoons green pepper chopped 2 tablespoons green onions sliced Mini pepperoni Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine cream cheese and Italian seasonings , spread onto a 8" pan. In a small bowl, combine mozzarella and parmesan. Sprinkle 1/2 on top of the cream cheese. Spread pizza sauce over the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Top with bell pepper, green onions and pepperoni. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Serve with French bread or fresh vegetable dippers. Chocolate Chip Treasure Cookies 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/2 cup Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut 2 cups (12 oz. pkg.) semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 cup chopped walnuts HEAT oven to 375ºF. Combine graham cracker crumbs, flour and baking powder in small bowl. BEAT sweetened condensed milk and butter in large bowl until smooth. ADD crumb mixture; mix well. Stir in coconut, chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. BAKE 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. I do have some bacon in the freezer and a can of pineapple chunks. If I find a good recipe that includes both I will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complicated Lady Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 This is the candy recipe that won me 1st Place and a hundred dollar bill in the dessert contest at Comin At Cha last year. (I can't shoot fast enough to win anything but I can cook!) Be warned that you must have a candy thermometer.... ENGLISH TOFFEE: 6 Hershey bars 1 cup whole pecans 1 cup chopped pecans 3 sticks butter 1 cup sugar Crumble 3 candy bars and mix with whole pecans on cookie sheet. Cook sugar and butter to hard crack stage. (It will seem like it takes forever, just keep stirring) Pour over candy and pecans. Cover with other 3 crumbled candy bars and chopped pecans. Cool and break into pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Complicated Lady Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 I am definitely going to make these tomorrow before the game! Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites! Prep Time 15 Minutes Cook Time 25 Minutes Ingredients 1 pound Bacon 1 can Chunked Pineapple (large Chunks) ½ cups Brown Sugar Set your oven to 375F. Cut the pound of bacon in half. Put the brown sugar in a shallow bowl. Take a half a slice of bacon and dredge it through the brown sugar. Put a chunk of pineapple on one end of the bacon slice and roll up. Secure with a toothpick. Lay the bacon pineapple bundles onto a foil-lined jelly roll pan. Bake for at least 25 minutes, or until the bacon looks brown and crispy. Put them under the broiler for the last few minutes just to get them really crisp. But watch out – the sugar will burn! Try to wait for them to cool slighty – only because the tasty goodness will burn your lips if it’s too hot! Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Ooooo....those sound good. Never thought of the brown sugar before. Hmmm.....a touch of cayenne or maybe hot paprika in the sugar would give a nice little bite. Or maybe chipotle chili powder. The mind boggles with the potential. Leave it to a sweet lady to think of adding brown sugar. I am definitely going to make these tomorrow before the game! Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites!

Subdeacon Joe Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Point of information - Hard crack is 300o to 310o F. Forms brittle threads when dropped into water and breaks if you try to form it.

Cope Daniels Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 mmmmm, bacon..... That pineapple bacon sounds gooooood. My buddy makes bacon shrimp. He takes large shrimp and slices them about 3/4 of the way and stuffs with cheese then wraps with some bacon. I can eat the whole tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complicated Lady Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Lady, leave out the sugar and pineapple and sub greek seasoning and chicken livers and you gots a real winner. Chicken Liver? Really? I haven't eaten a chicken liver since I was still living with my parents. I can still remember my mother frying them for my dad like they were really something good. Funny what we remember from our childhoods.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
