It is Super Bowl week and whether you plan to watch the game or just tune in to enjoy the commercials, there is always plenty of food to keep things interesting. But, like a box of doughnuts in the break room at work, Super Bowl parties can be resolution killers—suddenly, the last three weeks at the gym matters not when there’s a buffet of temptation staring you down.
Looking for some alternatives? You’ll find some party-worthy appetizers here to keep you right on track.
Don’t care about healthy talk, cuz it’s a football game and you’ll eat whatever sounds good? Well, you’ll find some of that here too.
Not into football? That’s okay, have a party anyway, it’s a great excuse to get friends together, laugh at the commercials, and enjoy good food. Football fan or not, here’s some inspiration for what goes on the table! To find the recipes, just click on the photo.

Thanks, Mandy, glad you stopped by–after walking on the beach with your post, I was hungry!
Now this is a round-up whose time has come – literally. Some great offerings but, I have to say, the caramelized onion dip really did catch my eye. Yum!

I’ve been MIA lately Judy, so sorry for the belated comment. That said love this mouthwatering line up full of goodies for any gameday. I know that I could eat way too many of those thai wings.
And of course thanks for including my tri tip burgers!

Hey Jed, glad you stopped by. I assumed you were busy receiving household goods and getting your new place in order, which is the perfect time to throw some of those wings in the oven.
Hope all is well with you and yours.
