Superbowl Plans and Food!

For those of you who are into the Superbowl, who are you cheering for and are you doing anything fun on Sunday?
I like both teams but will cheer for SF because we live in the Bay Area (My teams, the Eagles and the Bills, once again did not make it far haha)
Our friends invited us over but because when I get tired these days, I crash hard! I don't want to be an hour away from home if I want to get a snooze in.
So I'll be cooking at home. I'm bring out the deep fryer (Oh yeah, things are about to get nasty) and making some chicken wings. It's my dad's recipe and oh so delicious. I also think I'll do either twice baked potatoes or mashed potatoes.
I also plan to get a bag or two of Doritos! I've been craving them!
Go ahead... what are you planning on indulging in this weekend?
Re: Superbowl Plans and Food!
We are having 4 couples over and their kids. My husband is making chicken wings on the barbecue, Barbecue brisket in the crockpot, chips and guacamole, and I am making football cupcakes. I think they're going to say BRONCOS 2014! Hehe.
I am going for Ravens. I will never ever ever in a million years cheer for the 49ers after the way they treated us, Saints fans, after the playoff game last year. I thought Eagles and Falcons fans were bad, not even close!
I asked DH if he wanted a meal or just junk/snack foods he said he didn't care. UGH so I have no clue what we are eating but it is just going to be us and the kiddos at home.
We are going to the IL's for the game. DH's brothers will be there and maybe a few family friends. I think MIL is making a bunch of appetizers and I am really excited for chicken wings, nachos and spinach dip. I will be missing my spiced rum this year though for sure.
My only rooting interest is against the Ravens (hardcore Steelers fan). I'm having a few folks over to the house and keeping the food as simple as possible. Chips and dip, wings from the grocery store deli and slow cooker pulled beef sliders. Cupcakes for dessert
Enjoy the big game, everyone!
PS This is the first time in my pregnancy that I will feel the loss of alcohol. What's better than football and ice cold beer? Well, having a baby is, of course
Yeah trying not to think about the beer thing. I think I'll go and get some rootbeer or ginger beer in glass bottles so at least I can pretending I'm swigging them back! haha
Go Steelers! Here's to a much better 2013:2014 season with fewer injuries!

I'm not into football but we always get invited to a party and it's always fun!
I'll probably be bringing crack dip (aka buffalo chicken dip) and lil smokies covered in bacon & brown sugar. Those are ALWAYS a huge hit at parties and always come requested.
What's your chicken wing recipe, OP?
I just like to watch for the commercials, and an excuse to eat lovely food. My fantasy is to make some hot wings. DH says he will help me. I'm not sure if it will happen.
I saw Pioneer Woman make some on tv the other day, it doesn't look too hard. And they taste sooo good.
We'll be heading up to one of the big college towns here in Kansas to watch with some college friends. I'm the "built-in DD", so DH and the boys are making the most of it. I actually have had zero interest in alcohol since becoming PG (possibly because I'm a bartender?), so I'm not super worried about it.
We will, of course, be rooting for the Ravens! We're were SO hoping for a dirty bird superbowl!! Falcon fans in this house!
The batter (for 12 full size wings) is: 2 eggs, 2 tbs hot sauce, 1 tbs crushed red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Mix it all together and add a pinch of flour to thicken if needed.
I usually put a dry rub on of lemon pepper and cayenne too. Then you move drench the wings in the batter, coat with flour, then deep fry in some canola oil for 8 to 10 minutes.
We toss it in a wing sauce:
In saute pan over medium heat , saute 1 medium onion and 1 tbs chopped garlic. Add 1 cup chicken stock and 1 cup ketchup and bring to a simmer.
Mix another 1/4 cup of chicken stock and 1 tbs cornstarch together and whisk into sauce pan to thicken. We also throw in some hot sauce, sugar and salt to taste.
Then, we make a dipping sauce of 1 cup sour cream, 2 tbs horseradish, 1/4 chili sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
It has a lot of components but it is so worth it!
I'm going to go for SF. Never really been a big Baltimore fan. Because down here in good ol' Mobile, AL it's Mardi Gras season, i don't get to stay home. ha. There is a kids parade in my inlaw's neighborhood that my nephew and niece will be in....then there are the Mardi Grad Parades...and the Game....and the Float Showing (my husband is in a mardi gras association, so we get to see the floats and see which one he's on).
I would LOVE to just relax and eat wings and some cool ranch Doritos! yum yum!
Thank you! That sounds super tasty!
We are going to a friend's house with a to of people. I will go for the 49ers because I am NFC fan. (However, Jim harbaugh really gets on my nerves).
one of our friends has an old nacho cheese dispenser so I plan on having lots of chips with cheese, wings, soup, etc. I'm bringing BBQ wings, spicy pretzels(homemade), and monster cookies. Will also have some nonalcoholic beer!
I BLEED PURPLE! Baltimore representing!:)
I'm going to a Superbowl Party, so thankfully I don't have to cook too much. I'm going to try to muster up a berry trifle to bring but I've been on bed rest this entire week so I may not be able to make anything.
I'm rooting for the 9ers, but only half heartedly, bc I think it's unfair for San Fran to get the WS AND the Super Bowl!!!
ETA and I don't know what I'm doing. Watching home alone it going to my parents.
we are having a superbowl party here. am a 49ers fan and cannot wait to watch my team
we are serving pizza and beer. . lol!
We're going over to a friends' house for a Superbowl party. It's potluck, and I'm not sure what everyone else is bringing, but I will be taking brownies shaped like footballs for dessert. And probably some Cool Ranch Doritos and/or Chili Cheese Fritos because I've really been wanting some lately and I don't want to eat a whole bag by myself!
I'm not really rooting for either team - I'm a Falcons fan and they blew it.
