Super Bowl Recipes
Are you going to watch the Super Bowl?
I imagine you are since nearly 75% of Americans typically tune in for the big game.
As a Patriots fan, I will admit that I am not quite as excited about this game as I have been in the past. But of course I will still watch and will probably be rooting for San Francisco since I have so many friends who are big Niners fans.
Food is an integral part of any Super Bowl gathering, and this week I am sharing three recipes that will be perfect whether you are intently watching by yourself at home or getting together with friends just to see how many times that will show Taylor Swift.
Check out my three recipes below and enjoy the game!
