When I was a kid, my father used to get so upset yelling at bad calls and missed balls during the college bowl games that he finally had to stop watching them for fear of giving himself a heart attack. So it is safe to say that I grew up with an unreasonable fear of televised football, because WHO KNOWS? IT MIGHT KILL YOU.
Still, I am a wee bit envious of people who look forward to Super Bowl Sunday. Especially women who know what a touchback is and who not only own but proudly wear their favorite team's jersey. Who are they, and how did they get that way? Why aren't they spending the entire game on their laptops having emotional affairs on Facebook, flinching every time someone scores a touchdown?
I know, you could always just leave the house if you don't like the Super Bowl -- the streets are empty! It's the perfect time to go to Target! Fortunately, there are a lot of good reasons to stick around for the game.

You have Thanksgiving turkey, your Christmas cookies, your Easter eggs, and your 4th of July barbecue. But what do you eat for Groundhog Day? Certainly not groundhog burgers! (Heh, sorry, hope you're not eating lunch right now.)
Know what goes great with the Super Bowl? Chicken Wings! Mmm, noshing on some hot, sweet-and-spicy wings with a side of ranch sauce and celery sticks sure would hit the spot. And wouldn't it be nice if some wings just showed up at your doorstep around half-time? Well, we've got you covered.
You know who loves potato chips? Kristen Stewart. But not just any potato chips, fancy ones from England. Apparently the Twilight star can't get enough of Space Raiders, a type of crisp, if you will, that comes in flavors like pickled onion and barbecue. Boyfriend Robert Pattinson gave an interview in which he said he brings bags of the stuff back to the States for KStew since they're unavailable in America. I mean, here we only have a billion different types of chips, crackers, pop snacks, etc., but none of them are shaped in the form of an alien head ... so I can kinda see where Kristen's coming from.
People often jump at the chance to bring salsa and a bag of chips to a Super Bowl party. Why? Because they think it's the simplest thing in the world: There's no prep work, no time-intensive, complex recipe to wrestle with, and it travels well.
Super Bowl snackers, the big day is nearly upon us, and there are some very important decisions to be made. First of all, let's talk about the best tortilla chips. Last time I waltzed into the store looking for chips, I saw row after dizzying row of crunchy corn snacks. Which one to chose?!?
Wintertime can put us in a rut in a lot of ways, not the least of which concerns food. With limited fresh produce and inclement weather stopping us from our normal grocery runs, we end up eating a lot of the same thing. At least I do, anyway, and if I see another granola bar or packet of oatmeal, I'm going to scream. But I recently found this homemade cracker jack recipe and I'm thinking it can save me from my wintertime snack blues.
I'll admit, I've long been a Girl Scout Cookie hater. Judged on their own merit alone, those cookies are just not delicious enough for the calories. But after hearing about the mean-spirited
I got all excited when I first saw the new Kraft
Okay, I'm officially over this whole winter thing. Cold. Dreary. Damp. Makes me want to curl up on the couch with a cup of tea and a nice big hunk of applesauce cake. Is there anything more comforting? Maybe it's because applesauce is one of the first foods we eat as babies, maybe it's because it's sweet but not too sweet, so it's perfectly appropriate to eat at any time of the day: For breakfast, for dessert, or my personal favorite, for a mid-afternoon snack.
