Super Bowl Snacking

Posted on February 1, 2012 by admin

When it comes to the Super Bowl, there are only two things that are just as important as the game -the commercials and the FOOD. You have no control over the commercials, but what you do have control over, though, is the delicious food that is consumed during this infamous game. If you’re in charge of this particular task, remember that finger foods are best; however, they do not always mean light, leaving you hungry by the end of the game. Wings, meatballs, and chicken fingers are all snacks that fill you up. Depending on where you are, though, the game could start in the middle of the afternoon, so think about that and prepare ahead of time. One of the easiest snacks that usually goes over well with everyone is nuts. While you have the smoker going for those ribs or other items for your party, try this recipe for some smoked pecans. It is a different way to toast pecans, but even more delicious.
