Today I'm entertaining a group of my husband's friends for Super Bowl XLVIII. I set up the spread on the gaming table in his man cave...
He has a cottage above the garage with a studio area, full bath, and full kitchen. It's the perfect spot to entertain a bunch of rowdy men! So I spent Friday night and Saturday afternoon cleaning the place up...stocked the frig with beverages, dusted off the sports memorabilia, and cleaned the kitchen & bath area.
We are not fans of the Broncos or the Seahawks, BUT I do want to see Peyton Manning and his team win the Super Bowl! So, today I'm wearing Broncos colors...J Crew Factory colored denim pants and matching cardi, Tory Burch 'Revas' and the 'Robinson' crossbody bag, and the orange gingham blouse is from LL Bean.

Taco Cheese Ball
Guacamole Dip
Crab Dip

Potato Salad
Baked Beans
Pigs-in-a-Blanket
Gridiron Chili
Chicken Wings

Last night I put the chili in the crock pot and let it simmer overnight. It's delish!
Little green onion strips football-fied my deviled eggs.
Of course I had to serve the obligatory football-shaped cheese ball. This taco cheese ball had quite the kick!
Wings, guacamole dip, and pigs-n-a-blanket...I definitely can't eat much tomorrow!
This Caesar Pasta Salad is delicious and was made in the deli at Publix!
I tried my first sliders out in Vegas last summer and they are now my go-to party food...all in moderation right?
I hear about these "Fit Sandwiches" all the time on The Biggest Loser show. Well, they look good and taste even better!
My Super Bowl cake looks so litttle...kinda hokey too. Whatever. I'll be having some of this chocolate cake later with my coffee!
Even though none of my favorite teams {Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints} made it to the big game, I'm still very excited to watch the game. LET'S GO BRONCOS!
Oh Miss Janice say it isn't so! (hangs head) Not the Broncos. They were brutal to my KC Chiefs this season. (sniff-sniff) However, I must agree it does seem to be Manning's year. Doesn't mean I'll be cheering for the Broncos. (I'll be watching me a little Downton Abbey.)
ReplyDeleteEnough about football itself. Your man cave spread looks fabulous!! Love both the football shaped cheese ball, and the eggs! I do hope those rowdy men appreciate all of your efforts to fill their bellies. :)
Thank you Mona!
DeleteYou out did yourself, Miss Janice!! I know your husband appreciates your hard work and delicious food!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura!
DeleteWhat a spread! I can't wait to copy every thing for next year. I've already copied your Master golf tournament food ideas as well as several of your outfits. I kind of feel like I owe you a thank you note at least.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your sweet heart and talent Miss Janice
Sue, you are very welcome!
ReplyDeleteWow nice Super Bowl party! Love all the fun recipes!
ReplyDeleteYour hubbie and friends must be enjoying the food so much!
Miss Bloomers
Thanks Sonia. It was a great party but a boring game--for a Peyton Manning fan.
DeleteYou went all out! Looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dee!
DeleteWhat a great idea, converting garage space so hubby can be off-site, so to speak. Your food looks wonderful Miss J. Could I ask you for your chilli recipe? I'm on the hunt for a good slow cooker one and yours looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteWasn't that game awful though! I think someone set the Broncos to "slow".

Thanks! The chili is 4 lbs ground beef, canned diced tomatoes, canned tomato sauce, 2 pkgs slow cooker chili spice, canned kidney beans, cumin, garlic powder, and sautéed onions.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful spread and I'm sure everyone enjoyed your food.
ReplyDeleteMost important, your outfit came before the menu, just as it should be!
Miss Jane,
DeleteThank you. You know I love clothes and entertaining!
LOVE your Broncos themed outfit! The Broncos aren't my team either, but I will forever be a Peyton fan.
ReplyDeleteYou are THE hostest with the mostest! I always look forward to seeing your spreads.

Miss Seersucker Sass,
DeleteThank you! I do love to entertain!
Adorable. We love the Manning family here in Louisiana. Watched Downton instead since I'm not a football fan and generally don't like the halftime shows. I did hear the lovely rendition of the national anthem by Ms. Fleming. What a voice!
ReplyDeleteMonique,
ReplyDeleteMs. Fleming delivered a fabulous rendition of our Anthem! If not for our guests, I would have switched to Downton.
Thank you Miss Janice for using BellaGrey Designs Football Food Labels for your wonderful Super Bowl party! Everything looks GREAT!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Jennifer and than you!
DeleteYour husband is so lucky!
ReplyDeleteMandy Sue,
