Hello everybody! Ok…pop quiz: What is happening on February 6th, 2011? Times up ... the Super Bowl! Am I excited to see cute boys in uniforms? Cool commercials? An awesome halftime show? Am I excited because I love a good competitive game of football? Good gracious no. I am excited for the feeding frenzy called “Super Bowl Sunday.” What I love is the excuse to have a party, see friends, maybe win some money in a football pool, and eat till my pants don’t fit anymore. I am already planning one of the greatest food days known to the American people and here to share some quick appetizer recipes and one easy dessert recipe:
