Those who know me, know that I am not an avid football watcher. However, whenever Super Bowl comes around, I'm looking for a good party to attend! This year is extra special because my Morehouse Brother and cousin Ramon Harewood, along with his Ravens teammates, are going to the Super Bowl!!! WHOO HOO! In this post you will find different dishes you can supply for your own party or to take to another. Whenever hosting a large party and it's not a formal gathering, really look for foods that can be stretched to feed large groups. Here are a few dishes and ideas that can help your party go to the next level!
Multiple TVs: Some people want to watch the game because they are serious football fanatics. While others, like myself, enjoy the half time shows. If children are going to be present, having a gaming system such as Wii, PS3, etc, can provide entertainment for them as well.
Entertainment: Card games like Spades and Bid Whist can keep those not really interested in football occupied with their own tourney. Another great game that will match the length of the Super Bowl is Monopoly. That game can truly go on forever. Other games to look into are UNO, Trouble, and Taboo.
Foods: Dips are great because you can make them in bulk and they stretch! Some of my favorites are 7 layer dip, Rotel dip, and Chili cheese dip. Of course, no party, in my opinion, is complete without some type of fried chicken. Having fried or buffalo party wings are always a hit. If you don't have time to prepare them yourself, or you don't want your home to smell like grease, try your local grocery store. Some other options include chili, meatballs, and pasta salad. Though I made full versions of these before, mini versions of these Cajun Fried & Mesquite Turkey & Smoked Gouda sandwiches can be made. Snacks to have available can be local chips and popcorn. Being from St. Louis, we will have plenty of Red Hot Riplets to enjoy. For dessert this year, we're doing DIY cupcakes. I'll provide lemon, chocolate and vanilla cupcakes and have icings and sprinkles that reflect the teams in the Super Bowl. Everyone will get a chance to be creative and see who comes up with the best cupcake! And lastly, depending on your crowd, having a few spirits around can definitely boost your shindig. Why not try this Spiced Apple Cider recipe?!

Good luck with your parties and dishes! AND GO, RAVENS!!!
