Superbowl Link Up

If there's one thing that I enjoy talking about at 5 months pregnant...it's food! So I thought I would link up with Amy over at The Story of Us to discuss favorite Superbowl dishes!!!

I can't believe the Superbowl is almost here...and more importantly...I still can't believe that the Redskins lost last week! There goes Ben's dream of seeing Washington in the playoffs in good ole ATL this week. I would have spent a small fortune to get him a ticket though...and I would have even volunteered to stay home to take care of the little man. Don't I rock as a wife? I digress...let's get back to food shall we???

Last year I made two delicious apps for our Superbowl with the neighbors! One was a new recipe and the other was an old favorite. I highly recommend both!!! I don't mean to toot my own horn but they were amazefest! In fact, I'll probably make them both again this year! 

Let's start with the old favorite... Hankie Pankies!!! 

This is probably one of Ben's most favorite foods in the world. I first learned about Hankie Pankies from our friends from grad school, Julie and Jim. I think they are a common occurrence up in Michigan (where Julie and Jim are from), but this southern girl had never tasted them. They are delicious and extremely easy to make.

The other recipe were Emeril's Baked Jalapeno Poppers! Very difficult to make....but so worth it! I made Ben cut and de-seed all of the jalapenos and he swears that his hands burned for two days.

Clicking on the links above should take you right to the recipe!

So there you have it! Two delicious appetizers that I will probably duplicate this year! Happy Eating Y'all!!!!
