18 Ingredients For A Stylish Super Bowl Party

Whether you are hosting a Super Bowl bash at your home on the 7th, or are invited to a friend's party, it's time to up your game day style. Don't fumble and wait until the last minute.  And yes, I'm declaring my team of choice with the number illustrated above. This post is for football fans and foodies everywhere, especially someone dear to my heart named Steve in Denver!

18 Ways To Score on Super Bowl Sunday

Bacon Candy
Crispy, sweet, and salty, this is the perfect Super Bowl bite.  The trick is to use thick cut bacon.
Food and Wine

Crispy Buffalo Salmon Sliders
What a stylish little sandwich that is easy to make with only eight ingredients. A little more interesting than a hamburger, too.
Half Baked Harvest

Tequila and Lime-Marinated Chicken Skewers with Cilantro Sauce
Everything about these screams party. Love the idea of dipping them in a cilantro sauce.
Sur La Table

Sweet Potato Tater Tot Nachos
When was the last time you had a Tater Tot? I could not resist this recipe. You may just love the fact that the sweet potato tots  are pre-made from Trader Joes! This is a vegetarian dish, but pulled pork or chicken could be added. Yum!
Popsugar

Beer Cheese Soup
A fave of  Mr. Shop This! Who really wouldn't love it? And what a great presentation. 
How Sweet Eats

Chalk Note Entertaining Collection
A fun way to serve your guests. Spell out your menu play of the day.
Pier 1 Imports

Chicken Kabobs with Tandoori Spices
The spice that I was most surprised to love was Tandoori. Just fabulous on chicken, a little sweet, smoky, and only a wee bit spicy. Anyone can serve chicken wings. Why bother when you can serve kabobs? They are ever so more stylish.
Williams-Sonoma

Garlicky Meatball Sliders
Garlic. It's okay to indulge if everyone is having it. This recipe gets it's name from roasted garlic, which really is the best way to use it.
Cooking Channel TV

Pulled Pork Pizza With Maple Leeks, Roasted Garlic and Aged Cheddar
Anyone can serve pizza, but very few will serve one like this. It just looks beyond delish to me.
How Sweet Eats

Peanut Butter Pretzel Caramel Popcorn

Popcorn is perfect for parties. Add chocolate, and it becomes a sweet treat. The best part about this recipe is that you actually just mix in the store bought chocolate and pretzels!

Two Peas And Their Pod

Soft Pretzels with Sweet and Spicy Onion Mustard

Oh how I love a good soft pretzel. I think most people do. A big basket of these would be an inviting site on your Super Bowl buffet.

Heather Christo

Carnival Cupcakes
If you want to serve a show stopper dessert, the crowd will roar over these over the top cupcakes. It's a chocolate stout cake batter base that's topped with a creamy chocolate buttercream,  drizzled with chocolate ganache, then finished with a heavy hit of marshmallows and caramel corn. OMG!
Bakers Royale

Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins
Fingerling potatoes (40 of them) make this a great game day snack. It combines two sports bar faves - Buffalo Chicken and Potato Skins.

Individual Baguette Crudités 
If you frown on "double dipping," but do enjoy a good dip, this idea is perfect. Be as creative as you want with the dips, blue cheese, red pepper and more. These bites could not be more attractive.
Martha Stewart

Bacon Macaroni and Cheese Bites
These are a no brainer for any game day buffet.  They pair as well with a beer as they do with a glass of champagne. Very easy to make.
Pop Sugar

Dulce de Leche, Coconut and Chocolate Chip Magic Bars
Grace Parisi's sophisticated take on the classic cookie bar, which is a household favorite of ours. What makes these Super Bowl perfect? Bacon!
Food and Wine

Chili Pot Pie With Cornbread Crust
This recipe gets my vote for most creative. Chili and cornbread go hand in hand, making this the perfect bite. The small individual servings leave room or the rest of your offerings.
Sweet Peas And Saffron

Sur La Table has a nice selection of Ramekins for serving. Many are on sale through the weekend. Click HERE

Cheesy Margarita Pizza Hummus With Grilled Pesto Pizza Bread
Even non-hummus fans have got to admit how gorgeous this dish is. The pizza bread is made from homemade pizza dough. You will never go back to those bagged pita chips again.

Foodie Friday: Fashion Plates ~ Set a Table As Stylish As You Are

(Via Barney's NY )

With New York Fashion Week on my mind, I decided to put a fashion spin on Foodie Friday this week. Don't worry, there's a really good recipe at the end. If you think about it, shouldn't your tabletop be as stylish as you are? Many of the designers like Oscar de La Renta, Vera Wang and Versace have all collaborated with china makers to create their own lines of porcelain plates. I love playing dress up.  Join me in dressing the table.
