Super Sunday

I know it's been a little quiet here on the blog, but you know I couldn't let Super Bowl XLVI go by without posting! This year's Super Bowl fete was all about the dips. My contributions included a classic and a new comber.

{Rocco's Tacos Famous Guacamole}

Always a hit. It's a staple at his restaurants. Get the recipe here.

{Green Chile Dip}

Rachael Ray called it zippy. I didn't think it had much zip, tasted mostly like feta. Cream cheese, feta, salsa Verde, jalapenos...how can you go wrong? Recipe here.

Well, football is over for a while folks. What to do until it returns? Hopefully more cooking, eating, traveling and blogging! Until then!

Super Sunday

Finally coming out of the food coma that was Superbowl Sunday, just in time to relive it all again here with all of you! The overall spread was enormous, but here is a peek at my contributions:

Starting with dessert:

A football cake!

So stoked I finally got a football-shaped pan, and even more stoked that is is SO easy to make such a cute dessert! The cake was so moist, no frosting needed!

Instead of a regular guacamole, I decided to step it up and do a recipe inspired by a dish I saw Iron Chef Michael Symon raving about on The Best Thing I Ever Ate: Guacamole with Bacon and Blue Cheese!

Sweet, salty, crunchy, creamy, spicy...the perfect combo! Michael, you were dead right about this one!
Throw in some other classics like

Loaded potato bites (baked, not fried)

  and Mexican Potato Bites.

Makes for one SUPER, awesome Gameday spread!
I am totally craving more of that guacamole right now! Can't believe football season is over already!
