super bowl

I had been planning on putting together a little post about cute Super Bowl party ideas, but now it's really on my mind.  I just got a call from my parents telling me they are going!!!  Yes, GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!  How cool is that!?  (Hello, one check off the bucket list!)  I already told my mom she had to take pictures for me to share with all of you.  Wonder which celebs they'll see???  And the next obvious, very important question... What should my mom wear??  

So, back to cute party ideas that us commoners (you know, the ones who watch the game from home!) can use....

Look at these adorable beer bottle tags - Quarterback, Cheerleader, etc.  If we were having a Super Bowl party, I know exactly who I'd give the cheerleader tag to!  You can make them personalized without being so literal with names.  I also like the football field napkin rings. Available here from Paper & Cake.

Again, not being so literal, these drink tags below (look close) will allow guests to keep track of their drink.  You could even turn this idea into a game.  At the beginning of the party, let guests pick a jersey number of the players playing in this years Super Bowl.  Then, at the end of the game, whoever has the number matching the player picked as the Super Bowl MVP wins a prize - six pack of beer or something?  I also like the other ideas at this link.  Especially the last one - leaving chalk out on the decorated table for guests to "strategize" their plays. Interactive party details are always fun for guests!

Next up, something I remember seeing from last year's Super Bowl round up posts.  So easy and so creative.  Instructions here.  



And finally, Chris from Celebrations At Home, is always a excellent source of creative party ideas.  (Definitely one of my daily reads!)  Remember this Super Bowl table she styled - my favorite detail are those referee water bottles complete with "penalty flag" straws.  Fantastic!  

super 'ball' sunday


Every year we make the same snack to eat during the Super Bowl - a yummy seven layer dip! See recipe below. This year, our 4 year old daughter wanted to help make it. While fist deep in avocado (my favorite layer by the way), she said "Today is Super BALL Sunday!" After my husband and I stopped laughing, he tried to correct her by pointing to a bowl on the counter and telling her it is Super Bowl Sunday. What a confused look on her face! Her reply, "Dad, that doesn't even make sense". From the mouths of babes! Hope everyone enjoys the game - or like in my case, the commercials.



7 Layer Dip
- 1 (9oz.) can Frito Bean Dip (since I can never find that up here in CT, I just use a half a can of refried beans)
- 1 avocado chopped
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 pkg. dry taco seasoning
- 1 large tomato finely chopped
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion

Spread bean dip all over large plate. Arrange avocado on top of bean dip. Sprinkle with lemon juice and garlic salt. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and taco seasoning. Spread over avocado. Top with tomato and black olives. Cover with cheese and green onions.
Enjoy!
