"The Superbowl is Americana at it's most kitsch, and fun." - Sting

Only in the South is game day more celebrated than any other event, but Super Bowl Sunday, a de facto American national holiday…it's only football’s Biggest Day of the year in the entire country! Flatscreen TV's, brilliant commercials, passionate fans, bigger than life half-time shows, extravagant food.... whats not to love? My favorite part...preparing the food. I like football food to be bold and aggressive, like the game, full of flavor, color and texture, but I don't want people to walk away feeling like a football. This year, I am composing  a menu based on team colors from the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks.

For the raw foodie, carrots, green onions, celery, green pepper, yellow pepper, red pepper, and edamame with spinach/dill dip

An old standby, potato skins with chili, guacamole and salsa. 

You can't watch the  Superbowl without wings. (Of course they have to be orange glazed) 

You've just gotta have dip, queso (with blue corn chips)

Nothing says football like these stuffed gridiron sandwiches. 

By now, one needs something cool and fresh.  Melon, prosciutto bites. 

And fruit kabobs with yogurt dip.

Sweet endings.

Cake pops,

and Macaroons.

 
How about washing it all down with these colorful libations?

or these......

The best part......
