Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

A Whole Lotta Superbowl Food

Today I'm serving up a bonus Saturday post in case you are still planning your Superbowl menus! We are watching the game with our families at my parents house and I can't wait to break out my souvenir Packers-Falcons tee and Superbowl boxes while enjoying good food and good company. Let's get right down to the goods.

Ultimate Pizza Dip

My all time favorite dip and the eternal crowd pleaser. I like it with turkey pepperoni, but you can easily make meatless by substituting bell peppers and black olives.

Cranberry Brie

A super simple and delicious appetizer that combines melted cheese with sweet & tart cranberry sauce. You can't beat that combo.

Buffalo Chicken Nuggets with Blue Cheese Dressing

I just wrote about these yesterday and they will absolutely be making an appearance at our Sbowl gathering. Lighter, crispier and a bit healthier than store-bought wings, I'd choose these over the real thing anyday.

Queso Dip

Filled with warm cheesy goodness, this dip is one of my favorites. It's super simple and absolutely delectable.

Spinach + Onion Pinwheels

Light and flaky, these pinwheels are easy and require only a handful of ingredients. Make them in advance and heat them when guests arrive.

Spicy Sweet Potato Wedges

I love the flavor that a hint of brown sugar and cumin bring to these classic wedges!

Carmelized Potato Parsnip Tart

I made this tart for our Christmas Eve appetizer dinner and it was a huge hit. Nothing beats carmelization, after all! We cut it into small, 2 bite squares, perfect for a party food.

Scallion Pancakes with Ginger Dip

I just wrote about these yesterday but I think they are a really fun change up from traditional party foods. Oh and they are pretty fantastic-tasting as well!

Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars

If I had to pick one dessert for Superbowl of all the previous ones I've made, I'd have to go with these. They are fun and absolutely delicious. Not to mention all-American, just like the Superbowl!

So there you have it. A quick roundup of some eats that I would find irresistable at any Superbowl gathering! For even more ideas, check out our Recipes page or use the Search tool on the left side of this page! Have a great weekend!

Sounds like a delicious super bowl:-) That pizza dip looks incredible- I like it served in a round dish to make it look more pizza-like.

It's official - I'm hungry! Now I'm bummed I opted out of any Super Bowl parties for homework! I suppose my healthy will thank me for it, but I'm totally regretting it now! Enjoy the game and the eats!
