Superbowl Sunday Snacks!

The big game is almost here. My husband just informed me that there are 28 1/2 hours until kickoff! Someone's excited! And he should be...his team (my team, too) made it to the Superbowl. Go Giants!

So, what are you making to munch on while you watch the Giants and Patriots battle it out? Pizza? Subs? Chili? Fried food? Yup! We're hooking up the turkey fryer and making some super healthy snacks!

Here's our playlist:
Cheesy Spinach Dip and tortilla chips (slow cooker)
Bean and Corn Chili (slow cooker)
Fried Mozzarella Sticks with marinara sauce
French Fries (both sweet potato and regular potato)
Fried Pickles
and....Fried Mac and Cheese!

Some friends will be bring other food, including homemade crab rangoons to add to the oil! Yum!

In case you haven't decided on what to make, I'm including the recipe for my Cheesy Spinach Dip. Years ago, I made Martha Stewart Food Magazine's version of spinach dip and loved it. But, ever since I had a baby, it is much easier to make it my way! Let's say it evolved! If you don't have a slow cooker or would like to try Martha's recipe, click here.
