With Super Bowl XLIII just a little more than two weeks away, it's time to plan ahead for that Super Bowl party you're hosting or attending, and get all your ducks in order. As any true football fan can tell you, the key to a great Super Bowl party is the food. So, we here at About.com are going to assist you in that department whether you're throwing the party yourself or simply attending someone else's.
Home Cooking Guide Peggy Trowbridge says finger foods are a must, and I have to agree. A solid assortment of chips, dips, and salsas, along with other easy-to-serve snacks will give your guests plenty to munch on all day long. Busy Cooks Guide Linda Larson also has some great ideas for Super Bowl snacks, including mini-pizzas, Buffalo wings, potato skins, and much more.
If you're planning a low fat menu, or at least offering the option, Low Fat Cooking Guide Fiona Haynes has some terrific ideas to cut the calories. Southern Food Guide Diana Rattray also provides an extensive assortment of snacks, sandwiches, deserts, and much more, while New England for Visitors Guide Kim Knox Beckius adds a handful of recipes, including her Boston baked beans and lobster nachos. And, of course, I have a few favorites of my own.
To round out your menu and to add a little ambiance to the occasion, Entertaining Guide Donna Pilato will teach you how to make a cake that looks like a football field, complete with goal posts and football.
In the beverages department, Cocktails & Beer Guide Colleen Graham has an A-to-Z list of cocktail and shooter recipes. And for those that are not the traditional beer drinkers, Wine Guide Stacey Slinkard explains which wines go with chips, dips, or even pepperoni pizza.
If your party is aimed more specifically at a younger crowd, Parenting of Adolescents Guide Denise Witmer will teach you how to throw a Super Bowl party for teens.
