I love an excuse to throw a party, and sometimes you don’t even need one! Invite some friends over and make your favorites with a few new recipes thrown in the mix. These items would be delicious for any gathering, but I made them with Superbowl Sunday in mind. Dress in your team’s colors and add some football flair to your food with festive decorations.

To avoid the longest blog post ever, I’ve created four separate posts to highlight my party menu. Just click the links below to open the ones that suit your fancy.

• Hot Pepper BBQ Pork Sliders
• A Twist on the Classic Bloody Mary 
• Brownie Mallow Bars That Make You Go MMMM
• The Buffalo Chicken Dip That Never Disappoints

Because I made the four recipes above from scratch, I took a few short cuts with the other menu items. That’s the beauty of entertaining. The items below I purchased from the frozen section of the grocery store and served as-is:

• Hot Wings
• Celery and Cherry Tomatoes with Light Ranch Dressing
• Tortilla Chips and Chunky Salsa
• Chocolate Chip Cookies
• Honey Roasted Peanuts
