Super Bowl

Way back in the day when Derek and I lived in Kansas City, we hosted a Super Bowl party each year. I love an excuse to get together with friends and enjoy the most unhealthiest food possible. We haven't done much in the past few years up here in Ohio, but this year decided to have a few friends over again. Unfortunately a couple friends had to cancel so it ended up being a low key evening with two other families and WAYYYYY too much food.

I've always had one rule about what food is ok to bring to a Super Bowl get together: It has to be fatty and unhealthy. Period.

Sure, I always put out some fruit to balance out the grease, but there's nothing better than splurging for a few hours on wings, dips, pigs in a blanket, rotel and sweets!


Oh, and for any of my preggo friends, if you haven't tried Kaliber, I highly suggest it. After trying some non alcoholic wines and being quite disappointed, this might be stocked regularly in my fridge. It's made by Guinness and has quite a yummy taste.


And on another note, I was somewhat hoping Drew would enjoy watching the game with us this year. And I was also secretly hoping he would stay in the play room with his friends so that we could enjoy some of the game commercials. Nope. I was 0 for 2. Instead, he and his friends proceeded to bring in the loudest toy right where the adults were watching and "make music". Tis the life of parents with toddlers I guess.


Good thing we have DVR so I can watch all the commercials and half time show tonight!

  1. I drank O'Doul's and Clausthaler when I was preg! Not sure that I've had Kaliber yet. Will have to save that thought for next pregnancy some day!

  3. We had a few people over for a small gathering so we ended up with WAY too much fatty food too. Good news is that I am about to dig back in for lunch. Oops...

    Love those cookies!

  4. Yum -- the food is always the best part of the game, to me! But I have to say, this year, the halftime show was actually pretty great, unlike the past couple of years!

  5. haha...I love the kids playing! We stayed in this year since our kiddo is so little. Of course, we went gourmet then with steak and wine for the big game.

  6. Fun! I love the food, so yummy!

    Avery watched more than I thought she would, but I was also hovering in front of the screen for a bit in the beginning before I died a little inside. My poor Peyton.

  8. Those football cookies look delish! I've been all about the sweets since I started breastfeeding. I'm glad you found a good non-alcoholic beer. What's football without beer?!?

  10. Haha the toddlers at our party did the same stuff! However they also danced like fools to the halftime show and it was probably the best part of the night! My go to beer while Preggo was Coors non-alcholic beer it was yummy and I even drank it while nursing when I wanted a beer but didn't want to stress about feedings. :)

  13. Party looks great, the game was hard to watch. Matthew even kept telling us to turn the game off! When we have parties, we always send the kids to the basement and it's so nice (until somebody gets hurt from rough playing and comes up crying).
