My Entries for The Ultimate Superbowl Party Recipe Smackdown

Pin It
It's Superbowl time or at least it is right around the corner. All the guys look forward to the actual game, but what i like most about the Superbowl is all that food that will be served at the Superbowl Parties. I get so excited just trying to decide on what to make and what to bring, so really it's all about the food for me. For today's post I am blogging about my three entries that I have submitted for The Ultimate Super Bowl Party Recipe Smackdown hosted by Lori at The Recipe Girl. Bloggers can submit up to three Super Bowl recipe favorites, and the winner will receive a $250 gift card to Sam's Club, and who cant use that. For more information on the contest click on the link above to the Ultimate Super Bowl Party Recipe Smackdown. These are the three entries I am submitting to the contest.


My First Entry will be for Texas Jalapeno Poppers, the perfect appetizer. All that cheesy goodness stuffed inside a jalapeno pepper then breaded and deep fried. What could be better, serve them all by themselves or dip them in ranch dressing either way you cant go wrong. Instead of purchasing them at your favorite restaurant why not make them yourself. With this recipe you can have hot homemade jalapeno poppers in no time. Just click on the link above for the full recipe.


While the guys are watching the game more than likely it will be beer for them. But lets not leave out the girls, why not make homemade lattes! So for my Second Entry I am posting the recipe for the Copy Cat Version of Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha. This just happens to be my all time favorite Starbucks drink. This version is so much cheaper on the pocket book and taste almost exact to the real deal. This recipe is easy to double or triple for a crowd. Instead of making individual servings you can use your crock pot and make a large enough batch for all the girls at the party. Prepare the milk mixture in a double boiler and then place it in a covered crock pot on the warm setting. Make a pot of Strong Coffee or Espresso and place it next to the crock pot along with the whipping cream, cinnamon or white chocolate shavings. Then your guests can make their own White Chocolate Mocha's. Just click on the link above for the full recipe. You wont be disappointed.


I am entering So papilla Cheesecake as my Third and Final Entry. Because everyone has to have a great desesert to finish off the evening. I mean after all that great finger food that all of us will be eating we need something sweet to top it all off and really hit the spot. So papilla Cheesecake is the perfect recipe, it really does taste just like a So papilla. Dont take my word for it click on the link above and make one yourself. You will be glad you did.

I would love to have everyone over and we could all enjoy all my goodies together. ~grins~ I hope everyone has a great superbowl party with lots of yummy stuff.

That White Chocolate Mocha sounds amazing! I think I might use that recipe for a "girls' night!" As for the Super Bowl, I have to suggest to all the chefs and hosts out there to keep a Tide To Go pen handy. As everyone jumps around cheering on the teams, drinks and food are bound to be spilled all over!

On behalf of Tide, I'd like everyone to know that Tide is offering a coupon at Tidetogo.com (stock up and be the "Hero" at the party!)

Also, if you loved the "Talking Stain" commercial, you can vote for it to be named the top Superbowl commercial on CBS.com There will be a show revealing the top choice on Jan 31, 2009. Vote here: www.cbs.com/superbowl (Then at 8p.m. ET, watch the show and vote live to pick between the top 3!)

Hi Tina,
I'm not quite sure how I "landed" here but boy oh boy, I sure am glad I did. All those recipes look like winners to me! It's a toss up to pick a favorite but I've been in the mood for Jalapeno Poppers for a few weeks now. Might just have to give them a try.

Thanks for sharing; bookmarked!
