Is anyone watching the Superbowl this weekend?  I’m not.

Is anyone cooking anything special for the Superbowl this weekend?  I’m not.

But I know many of you are either watching it or cooking things, so I’d like to refer you to my Game Day Recipes Post

Everything from (Kale) Chips and Dips and Hummus

I think my Cheezy Veggie Bake would also be a hit with game-day fans

Please Check out the Game Day Recipes Post for More Recipes and Inspiration! 

Everything in that post is vegan and gluten free, but you don’t have to tell the meat-and-potatoes-screaming-at-television-crowd that info.

And if you want more inspiration, check out Jenna’s or Jessica’s Posts.  Now, those girls can cook.  I really need to get my in touch with my inner nacho when I read their posts.

From my last post about my love for all things vanilla, glad to hear I am not alone in my vanilladdiction. I liked hearing how you incorporate vanilla in your life.  One can never have too much vanilla if you ask me!  And a few people said that you don’t “love” vanilla, but you do love chocolate.  I can live with that.

I think Game Day Fans would enjoy Chocolate Covered Oreo Balls.   I do.

Questions:

1. What are your plans for Superbowl Sunday?

Scott will watch the game out of the house with friends. That way when screaming at the TV ensues, I don’t have to hear it.  Nothin’ but zen over here.

I am working.  I would rather be working than watching football.  Not really a sports fan.   Although the commercials are usually entertaining.

2. What recipes are you thinking of making?  Or what would like to be eating?

I doubt I am going to make anything just for the game.  I have to work and won’t be watching it anyway.

Plus, I much prefer sweets to typical or the stereotypical savory game day fare, anyway.   So if I do make something, it will be a dessert.  But I don’t need it to be Superbowl Sunday just to make a dessert.

Have a great day!

  1. I totally forgot it was Super Bowl Sunday so I didn’t plan any healthy eats! Which I am bumd about, but I’m like you I could really care less about the actual game, although I will be visiting my family. I did plan on making your kale chips and using my dehydrator this weekend hopefully they will be ready by Sunday.

  2. I’m not opposed to watching the game, but I’ll be too busy doing practice massages and homework on Sunday to catch any of it!

  3. Hey Averie….
    I’ve been a lurker for awhile but just wanted to let you know I made your chocolate peanut butter and oat bars last nite and I LOVED them…. Thanks for the recipe~~!! They were super quick to make too!

  4. YES of course I’m watching the game! It will be a nice distraction from everything else I should be doing that day. I won’t be making anything special though. I’d like to have a big party, since I love a good party, but I have too much going on. I’d need to kick everyone out the minute the game was over. :)

  5. Nope…not watching the game. Felt like a huge lame-o when I turned down several party invitations. Just not my thing. I’d rather sleep, read, work, play games with the kids, or even do laundry for that matter. :)

  6. Averie, I love fajitas and these looks fabulous..I am going to add them to my list to make.
    Oh and if you have a sec, check out my post today-I need your mommy advice :) I kind of already know what you would say but hearing it from you would be better :)
    Thanks hon–xoxo

  7. I’m not a huge sports fan — but I do usually watch the “big” games: vikings vs. packers, super bowl, “important” twins games, etc. But thats about it! Jason isn’t a big fan either.

    We’ll probably have the tv on for the game on Sunday but I doubt we will sit and watch much of it. It will be background noise as I do laundry, vacuum, etc (normal Sunday stuff for me!)

    We’ll make a few drinks for Sunday (also normal for us!) but nothing else really special!

  8. I won’t be watching the Superbowl…but I’ve been enjoying everyone’s Superbowl posts, ha! Don’t like football…but I like seeing all of the food that goes with it! :-)

  9. sigh, now that i’ve moved home, i dont have many friends around town… soo as of now, my superbowl plans are nonexistent. but that tdoesnt mean i cant cook up a storm and have my own party, right?!

  10. We do not watch the Super Bowl. Neither one of us cares about it at all. I have no idea what I will be making that day. As for the vanilla extract, here is what I do…put two split vanilla beans in a glass bottle or jar and add a cup of unflavored vodka. Store in a dark, cool place for two months. Shake the bottle every couple weeks to get all the beans distributed throughout the vodka. We do this in the vodka bottles and normally have a couple going at a time. It seems expensive at first, but ultimately it is cheaper. Also, buy cheap vodka since it has less flavor. You could also use bourbon, but we just stick with vodka. Makes great Christmas gifts for bakers too!

    1. I have heard about this exact method and read about it tons. Just never have done it because I read that you have to shake the bottle daily. And not sure if that would happen :)

      And cheap vodka having less flavor tip…ok, good to know, I would have thought to use something higher end b/c of the opposite but that’s good to know!

      Thanks, Sarena :)

  11. Is anyone watching the Superbowl this weekend?
    ABSOLUTELY!!!!! Go Steelers!!!!!

    Is anyone cooking anything special for the Superbowl this weekend?
    Raw Taquitos
    Raw Chick-un fingers
    Crudite with peanut dipping sauce
    Raw Sweet Potato chips

    Anyone wanna come? Got a 52 inch plasma with surround sound.

  12. I’m going to Florida for a bachelorette weekend so probably won’t be watching…but will probably manage to consume plenty of junkfood anyway!

  13. I’m NOT watching the superbowl. I’ll be working too—my Man is going ice fishing and then doing boy-superbowl things after that, so I’m (almost embarrassingly) excited that I can spend the entire day doing work. I love the feeling of getting huge amounts of work done!
    I’ll probably try and make something yummy for myself though—but that’s just a normal day for me, not in spirit of the “stuporbowl.” I always joke with people about going to work next day full of crappy food and tired—just walking around in a stupor.
    Enjoy your non-superbowl weekend!

  14. I am most def. NOT watching the game! Haha I am not exactly a sports fan, however the commercials are hilar so I spend some quality time watching those:) Perhaps I’ll make some Superbowl Commercial food?:)
