Any good super bowl food ideas to share?
So our 7yr old DD was gone for the night last night getting her Auntie and Grandmom groove on - Our 16 yr old DS also slept out at a friends house after I took him and his friend out for sushi last night...DH worked late then when he came home around 10:15 pm he found me napping in my big leather club chair and he rustled me. He wanted to grab a beer and wings at our local pub. I moaned a bit because I was warm and sleeping but knew a Friday night without any kids at home rarely comes so we shuffled out into the night cold to find his fix. (I had no intention of endulging in anything but a water with lemon wedge or to eat anything...I was done with my consumption for the day) We park and as we're walking up we run into parents we know from DS's high school football team. We haven't seen them in awhile, and they are leaving this pub after having dinner with another couple as we're heading in. We hear GOD AWEFUL noise coming from inside and they inform us they are having Karaoke night....Uhhhh, not the scene we were looking for. Eric wanted his quaint pub setting to enjoy a few brews then head back home. Not up for the loud boisterious scene. So we turn around, head back home. He later orders Dominos as I fall back to sleep. I tried to take one for the team for him, but it just didn't work out in his favor. Darn! lol
We roll over at 9am this morning, look at each other and after our goodmorning smoochies I say, "Let's throw our running shoes on and go for a long walk" He giggles and says, "I was thinking the same thing..." Silly us heard a forecast that it was supposed to get up into the 50's today (heat wave) so I'm thinking it's got to be fairly mild out at 9:00. Uhm no. It was in the 30's but we still got a good long stretch out with Cooper (our miniature schnauzer) before heading back home. Threw on a pot of coffee and I made us grilled veggies with scrambled eggs. We eat, joking that we're empty nesters by our 30's and living so wild and crazy without the kiddos. lol
I'm guessing we got about a mile, maybe slightly more, in during our walk. Despite the 37* temp, I actually worked up a sweat in my 'core area' wearing only a long sleeved T and mesh hoodie. Funny though, my cheeks were FROZEN. Feeling a little frisky now, I'm wanting to get some Gazelle time in this evening. DH has asked for the kitchen tonight - he has grilled fish ont he menu with steamed asparagus... we're looking at a great, 'lite' dinner.
We're stuck on what dishes we're taking to the two super bowl parties we're hitting tomorrow - something healthy and unique but yet something that will still be a hit among the ultimate junk food it will be joining on the buffets.
Anyone have any good suggestions?
