Super Bowl

I will update later with pictures but we are expecting a crowd and so much fun! Every year we host a huge Super Bowl party.....well it isn't really all that huge except...we have a rather small home. We cram 40 plus into our living room like sardines and eat until we are all going to pop. No one seems to care that things are cramped....they keep coming back. It just goes to show that it isn't about the place but it is about the people. Well maybe the food?

This is s big party and could be a big expense but with the help of coupons and careful planning we have a big spread and I didn't have to come out of pocket a great deal!

Here is the menu

Rolls with Turkey(I bought a whole one after Christmas on sale just for this)
Beef...I cooked this all day yesterday...Oh so good...I took pictures so I can post later
Pork...I got 4 tubs at Publix for 74 cents each ( honestly i am a little worried about this stuff...I'll let you know!)

salami, pepperoni, cheese,lettuce, tomatoes, onion

Buffalo boneless chicken pieces
Bourbon boneless chicken pieces

Pizza bagel bites

Strawberries, blueberries,grapes
carrots,celery and dip of course

Chips and dip

brownies
cookies

canned drinks

Who is playing? :)

great snack

I can't stand boring snacks! I like for mine and my children's snacks to be good but to also provide energy and good nutrition. Do not feed your kids cookies...pop tarts....Little Debby's and think you are giving them a good snack. Anyway...not all of my kids like this snack but I love it and eat it for snack or for breakfast regularly.
First combine 1/2 of a scoop of whey protein...I buy the Jillian brand from WalMart for $10.00....and about 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt. YOu could use plain or whatever flavor you like here. I keep a large container of vanilla on hand to use in all sorts of things I bake.
Then I cut up whatever fruit I have or want but my favorite in this is strawberries and dried cranberries.
Then add the All Bran "Bran Buds" I do not like the regular kind.....but I love these little things! I love it ........creamy, crunchy,sweet and good protein and fiber...what more could you ask????
