Some Super Bowl food

Super Bowl.

Kind of a BIG DEAL in our house.

For the food, not always the game.

 I had to make my famous guacamole.

 This was 3 avocados, one tomato, a bunch of colantro, one jalepeno, and the juice of 2 limes. And salt and pepper, of course.  mix it all together and eat with a spoon...errr....chips.  Eat it with chips.  Ya.

 Then I made potato skins.  Bake some potatoes.  When they're cool enough to handle, slice them into wedges and "skim" off the top of the potato...so you just have a thin "crust" of potato.  Fry up some bacon till really crispy.  Then I lay the slices on a sheet tray and dot with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  sprinkle the crispy bacon all over the wedges and then top with shredded cheese.  This was sharp cheddar, but I use whatever I have on hand.  Then I broil them in the oven till they're kinda crispy and the cheese has melted.  Much better than frying them, but then, you DO have all that butter and bacon on there.  Hey, it aint diet food.

I also made some buffalo chicken dip, but it looked like vomit, so Im not posting a picture.  Really.  Vomit.  But it tasted good.  You take a bottle of blue cheese salad dressing, one brick of cream cheese, a package of shredded monterey jack cheese, 3/4 cup of hot sauce, and a shredded cooked chicken breast.  Mix it all together and back in the oven at 375 till melted and heated through.  But it looked like vomit.

 So I had a chicken breast left over , so I threw together a pizza.  I always keep packages of pizza crust mix on hand.  $.48 at Walmart!  So I took 2 packages of the crust mix, mixed it all together, and then topped it with some ranch dressing, LOTS of bottled pesto.  and when I say lots, I mean LOTS, cuz I love me some pesto. then I used a baked potato I had left over from the potato skins, sliced it up, then topped it with the sliced chicken breast.  I also sprinkled some parmesan cheese on top, with an extra squeeze of ranch.  :)  Bake at 475 for about 18 minuites.  and there ya go!

So we ate and then passed out into a  food coma, all before the game even started.  Then we just picked on the left overs all night long.
