Super Bowl Open House

Super Bowl Sunday is a special day for our family. It's a lot of food, some fun commercials, family time, and oh yah, there's is a sporting event on the tv.

The Decorations

I made 3 more team pennants. I've made almost 20 now. Welcome Bengals, Dolphins, and Cowboys.

The football field banner is decorating our kitchen window.

The usual football field platters, football plates and bowls, felt football coasters, as well as our football cheese spreader and bottle opener all make a comeback this year.

The Food
Specially brewed rootbeer (regular and diet) from Brew Bakers in Huntington Beach.

Giant Football Calzone

Pretzel Sticks from Brewbakers with homemade marinara sauce.

Knock-You-Naked Brownies from Pioneer Woman's Recipe.

Peanut M & Ms.

Jell-O Jigglers Helmets in sugar-free lemon and strawberry banana.

The Entertainmnt
We are playing Bingo during the game this year. I found these fun Super Bowl bingo cards online from Parade Magazine

and of course a lot of cool commercials. :)

I hope that you have a wonderful day. Thank you for vistiting We Grow By Our Dreams.

Super Bowl Spread

5:30 PM | Labels: festive, food, football, party, super bowl

Super Bowl Sunday is a holiday at the Grow home. I collect foot-ball themed treasures all year long at garage sales and thrift stores. This year I was thrilled to find the NFL tablecloth and the little football bowl with a football spreader.

This year's menu:

Antipasti platter including olives, peppers, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, mozzarella balls, kosher pickles and spicy jack cheese

Crackers and Brazil nuts (don't they look a little like footballs?)

Cheese fondue with green apples, broccoli, carrots, and Panera bread cubes

For dessert: Jell-O jigglers in Saints gold (sf lemon) and Colts blue (raspberry)

Not pictured: Turkey Sausage Chili and Vegetarian Chilli

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope your team wins. Please say, "hi" if you have the time. :)

Super Bowl Prep

10:46 PM | Labels: crafts, football, pennants, sports, super bowl

I made another 2 NFL (American football team) pennants tonight. And, I decided to string them up on a laundry line so I can adjust them every year as I add more. Actually, I'll probably need two strings because I have 5 more pennants not pictured here (maybe AFC and NFC?).

The big game is this Sunday. Our menu:

Antipasti platter featuring olives, pickles, roasted peppers, mushrooms and baby mozzerella balls
Cheese fondue with bread cubes, green apples, carrots and broccolli
Chili (turkey and veggie versions)
Jell-O helmets in blue and black (orange+grape=black)
and for dessert we are tentatively planning on chocolate fondue

We'll probably do some chips and guacamole and some chex mix too. I'll post pictures.

Oh, and my football pennants are featured this week on the modern eve blog along with some really yummy looking football cupcakes.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I'd love to hear your Super Bowl traditions. And, if you are from outside the USA, I'd love to hear about your sports traditions.
