When the temperature hovers below freezing and the wind whistles at the windows, haul out the cookbooks, call up your friends, and start planning that Super Bowl Party!
Brrrrrr! It’s cold outside! The temperature is dropping, the wind is blowing, and we’re expecting snow tonight. Okay, admittedly, that’s what winter is all about, right? It’s the season that, at least here in the desert southwest, gives us lasting moisture and reminds us that we can put on more clothes and still go outside and enjoy the sunshine.
OR….we can stay inside and read and cook and (this is my favorite part) get out the seed catalogs and dream about summer: all those heirloom tomatoes we’ll grow, which asparagus varieties, how many kinds of squash. Meanwhile, there are new recipes to try with what is still left in the pantry from last year’s garden.
AND…the Super Bowl is right around the corner! While I’m not particularly a fan of football, I AM a fan of big gatherings, and love putting together just the right appetizers and buffet dishes to suit the occasion and the guests.
Over the next couple of weeks you’ll see appetizer ideas, crowd-sized soups, and even some suggestions for hot chocolate recipes to warm up those who prefer to be outside playing football during the big game.
So pull out your guest lists and let’s get started planning our Super Bowl Parties!
