It’s Super Bowl time!

What an exciting year Super Bowl Year! 

While my beloved Bills again didn’t make it this year; I’ve been an Eagle’s fan back when Donovan McNabb was the QB. I’m very excited to see the Eagles (led by the incredibly handsome Jalen Hurts) and The KC Chiefs face off. 

This year, Kendrick Lamar will be performing at the Super Bowl halftime show.  I’m going to be quite honest here.  The half time performance is usually what makes me tune into the Super Bowl.  However, this year, for the first time, it isn’t.  Don’t get me wrong. I highly respect Kendrick Lamar’s artistry.  Plus, Not Like Us was a mega hit this year that recently garnered a Grammy. 

That being said though, in terms of bodies of work – Lamar isn’t in my Top 5.  So, this year, I’m more amped for the game and watching “The Birds” take home that championship. 

The Game of All Games 

The Super Bowl is such a fun time of year for me.

The game of all games just gives another opportunity for family time, good food, and depending on if you’re a holiday nerd like, decorations! 

So yes, my absolute favorite part of the Super Bowl is the food and drink. I’m spending the day eating appetizers, sandwiches and drinking cocktails – diet be damned. The Super Bowl is a day for family as well as one for eating.

Seafood Boil

Seafood boil is a must have for the Superbowl.  But this year, I’m preparing mine a bit differently.  In the past, I did like many, which is boiling everything together and then making a sauce.  I don’t like this recipe as the seafood tends to lose flavor, regardless of how well the water is seasoned.  This time, I’ll preserve the flavor of my crab legs by baking them instead.  I’ll create the sauce on the side with the rest of the seafood (i.e. shrimp) and then pour the mixture over the baked crab legs. No more boiling my crab legs seasonless. 

Pasta Salad

I remember the first time I fell in love with Pasta Salad.  Picture This:  A skinny, 19-year-old walks into the North Campus University of Buffalo cafeteria.  Peering into the cooler, I see pasta salads stacked for purchase.  Curious, she purchases one, takes a bite and falls in love.  Over the years, I’ve refined my pasta salad recipe, but trust and believe, pasta salad is another go to.  Especially for an event like the Super Bowl. 

Lobster Tails

A tailgate staple, lobster tails are easy to make and really does elevate the party.  Check out my easy broiled lobster tail recipe here. 

Make sure you have a good pair of scissors to butterfly those tails. See easy broiled lobster tail recipe here.

Raspberry Mojito

Throw back a couple of mojitos to celebrate game day!
