Our best Super Bowl recipes deliver big flavor for a smaller watch party - The Washington Post

  • Limit your party to people you live with, or if you're able, project the game onto a wall in an outdoor area where everyone can practice appropriate social distancing.
  • If game-day classics are your thing, consider conducting a food swap. Make a designated spot for friends to drop off and pick up portions of certain dishes, so that everyone gets a variety without having to cook all day.
  • Or, if you've caught the cooking bug and want to experiment, this smaller gathering can serve as a focus group as you try out new recipes.
  • Made too much food? That's okay. Remember, plenty of game-watching fare can be repurposed for future meals; you can freeze leftover chili for later, and turn those extra ribs into tacos or enchiladas.
  • Select recipes, like snack mixes and mini pizzas, that are easy to scale down. Most of The Post's recipes feature a scaling button to help you do just that. Keep in mind, however, that when scaling a recipe, cooking times and temperatures, pan sizes and seasonings may be affected, so adjust accordingly. (Also, amounts listed in the directions will not reflect the changes made to ingredient amounts.)

Here is a batch of Super Bowl eats that can easily be scaled down for Super Bowl LV. You'll want to bookmark them now, too, for next year when we can — we hope — watch the game with a crowd.

Bean and Barley Chili. Scale down this hearty chili, or make a big batch and drop off some to a friend's house. Chili freezes well, too.

Savory Cereal Snack Mix. You can make a big batch to portion, package and drop off, or make a smaller batch for just your household.

Muffin Tin Deep Dish Pizza. Your muffin tin is a handy way to make small portions easy. These kid-friendly deep dish pizzas will win the evening. Gather the ingredients and then make as many or as few as you need.

Hot Buffalo Chicken Dip. The most classic, salty-tangy-spicy game-day item; you can of course leave out the chicken to make it vegetarian. It easily scales down to four servings.

Cocoa Yogurt Snacking Cake. A dessert is always welcome, especially this simple, one-layer snacking cake. For something a little different, check out this Simple Sesame Cake. Both are one-bowl cakes that come together in minutes and require no stand mixer or fancy pans.

OK, I admit some TikTok recipes are actually kind of great - Mashable

I didn't want to like TikTok food trends. 

They seemed kind of silly. Stunty. Weird stuff for views. 

I think the first recipe I remember seeing on TikTok was the pancake cereal. Remember that? The little mini pancakes people cooked up for...some reason? I didn't get it. Why? Just make pancakes.  

Now, to be clear, I am decidedly an Old, at least as far as TikTok is concerned. I lurk on it mostly for work. It's an app largely dominated by creative young people and I am barreling toward 30. So, you know, of course I don't get some stuff. 

But cooking is pretty much my main hobby. I am barely able to make simple food. Everything needs to be overly complicated. Let me put it this way: I squeezed an electric smoker on my 7-foot by 3.5-foot New York City balcony. 

So, eventually, of course, I was lured to food Tiktok. The apps For You Page algorithm has incredible power. 

At first, I predictably ran into cooking demonstrations. Basically, I was flying through pared-down YouTube cooking videos where people blitzed through recipes. (A personal favorite is @sad_papi, a restaurant chef who makes beautiful food.) 

But eventually, I wound up on what I can only describe as food trends. It wasn't people making recipes, it was people doing their own version of a single recipe. Think about the whipped Dalgona coffee craze? You remember? When everyone was making the kind of strange instant-coffee concoction? That's the kind of thing I'm talking about.

I ignored the whipped coffee. I held out from the pancake cereal. Again, it seemed stunty. But then, a TikTok recipe I couldn't resist. White Claw slushies. My goodness: White Claw slushies.

I can't even remember how we found it, but over the summertime, my fiancée and I got obsessed with it. If you don't know what a White Claw slushie is, well, it's exactly what it sounds it like. It goes something like this: Pour a White Claw in a blender. Add a dash of vodka. Throw in some fresh or frozen fruit that matches, or complements, the flavor of White Claw you chose. Fill to the brim with ice then blend that sucker until a thick slush is formed.

Is that stunt food? I mean, maybe? It takes a trendy-ish drink — White Claw — and makes it into a slushie. But holy hell is it good. The drink has the texture of a frozen margarita, but it's super simple to make and the icy, carbonated Claw is quite refreshing. 

Here's a picture of pineapple slushies we made to sip on our balcony.

Delicious slushies.

I mean, come on. Tell me those don't look incredible. Refreshing, simple, guaranteed to get you a little buzz in the summer heat — a truly wonderful drink. 

I can be a little...let's say...picky about my cooking. Like I typically don't trust random food blogs. Those sites where the intro is an entire life story before you get the recipe? No thanks. I like recipes from food publications because I know it has been vetted by folks with more knowledge than me. 

Enjoying the slushie was me getting out of my arrogant little shell. From there, it's been a joy. Like, if you haven't tried the viral four-section-tortilla fold, well, you're missing out. It's so much easier to make than a burrito, and you get a nice, layered sandwich. Here's one I made with egg, chorizo, cheese, avocado, and salsa. Not the most aesthetic thing in the world — thanks green wrap — but it tasted fantastic. 

A nice wrap, in all its glory.

I was skeptical of TikTok food trends because they're designed to be aesthetic and fun. How else would something go viral? But that doesn't mean they're without merit. I mean, TikTok somehow has everyone making delicious as hell birria tacos. If that's not a win for food culture overall, what is? (And yes, I will be making them at some point.) 

My job necessitates that I spend much of my life on the internet and I suppose that when it came to cooking — my favorite hobby — I felt like I had nothing to gain from something so crass as ~viral~ food. Of course I was wrong. Because I'm an ass. 

But I still contend the pancake cereal trend was dumb.

5 recipes to make on a snow day, from soup to a sweet treat - LNP | LancasterOnline

Posted: 02 Feb 2021 10:15 AM PST

Snow angels or soup? As this three-day snowstorm rounds the corner, that's what I'm deliberating. Mister Husband is outside with his sparkly new shovel while I type these words from a room with a view, and I imagine he will be needing some après-dig sustenance to shake off the chill.

In fact, I spy with my little eye three chicken backs in the freezer, which I may throw into a pot and get some broth going while I scrounge the fridge for soup odds and ends. (How-to details for poultry bone broth.)

Thanksgiving turkey leftovers: how to store and freeze, make bone broth, plus a recipe for turkey salad

But for immediate consumption, a pot of spiced hot cocoa may hit the spot for my beloved shoveler. (Dairy-free folks, use whatever milk makes you happy and be sure to let the whole spices steep for about 20 minutes.)

New Year's drink recipes for cranberry juice sparklers, spiced hot cocoa

But as they say in New Orleans, the cocoa is a lagniappe, a way to whet the whistle and get this snow day cooking party started.

With a pot of chicken broth simmering, I'm also looking at a bunch of potatoes that have developed teeny sprouts, so perhaps a blended soup with the languishing kale, a bunch of garlic and snow-covered rosemary, with the taters as a thickener. Our Souper Formula from last winter is chock-full of ideas for making your own blended creation.

If it weren't for the leftover chicken thighs that I might slice into that pot of broth, I probably would be whipping up this chicken-and-rice number, a one-pot wonder that truly will feel like shelter from the storm.

Apple coffee cake

Apple coffee cake.

A sweet treat may be in order, especially if it can double as breakfast the next day. With three or so apples in the fridge that have seen better days, I just might whip up this apple coffee cake instead of throwing them into the compost. Tomorrow's first cup of coffee suddenly just got grand.

The shoveler may not want to hear this, but with all these ideas brimming, I say let it snow.

Joanna Gaines Shared Recipes Perfect For Super Bowl Sunday Like Cheesesteaks And French Onion Dip - Delish

Posted: 02 Feb 2021 10:14 AM PST

We'd be lying if we said we won't miss throwing a truly epic Super Bowl party this year, but keeping things small means we'll get to show a little more love to the food we make for our families. What...did you think we'd miss a chance to cook up cheese-covered and fried things? Uh, no! If you're still on the hunt for some Super Bowl inspiration, Joanna Gaines has a whole episode for that on her new discovery+ show, Magnolia Table.

In the fourth episode of the series, Jo makes a whole mess of what she calls Weekend Game Day Snacks, but obviously are perfect for a little Super Bowl action. First, she (and her kids!) whip up some French onion dip, which is made with sautéed onions mixed with sour cream, mayonnaise, and herbs. She serves them with a side of potato chips, but add some carrots, celery, and bread. This is fit to be the star of your party.

But if you're looking for something a little more substantial, she also makes some Philly cheesesteaks topped with sautéed bell peppers, onions, and melted provolone. The whole thing is served on a toasted hoagie roll for a seriously filling meal. But um, you're going to want to save room because she also makes Hasselback potatoes that you won't be able to see without wanting to make them immediately! And if you're looking for a little something sweet, there are also peanut butter brownies that send the whole thing over the top! You might fall into a food coma by the third quarter, but that's the Super Bowl for ya!

The best part is, even if you don't have discovery+ you can make these recipes for the Big Game! Seriously! Jo has all these recipes and more linked on her blog, which is great because uh, we're looking to make her famous cheese ball on Sunday too!

Super Bowl 2021: Food ideas, best at-home party snacks, how to make easy appetizers for game day - NBC Sports - Misc.

Posted: 02 Feb 2021 05:08 PM PST

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit almost every aspect of life across the world, but that doesn't mean you can't treat yourself and your housemates with some Super Bowl foods during the big game (this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET).

With parties and crowds on hold for the time being, look for small-batch recipes and personal-sized proportions, or size your recipes down to avoid waste (if you don't have room in the fridge for leftovers). Here are some ideas to get you started:

Super Bowl foods for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan

Super Bowl foods for the Kansas City Chiefs fan

Super Bowl foods for the football fan with no dog in the fight

  • Everyone loves pizza, and with homemade personal pizzas, you can make the perfect amount for you and your household—plus, nobody will argue and/or cry about the toppings.
  • Pigs in a blanket is an easy crowd pleaser. Cut this Pillsbury recipe in half if you're not a fan of leftovers.
  • Fully commit with football-shaped brownies. Whip up your favorite brownies, like Baking Mischief's one-bowl small-batch recipe. Then use a football-shaped cookie cutter to shape the brownies, or do your best freehand job (no judgement here). Finally, take some white frosting to pipe the stitching (also no judgement here).

Super Bowl foods for the football fan that's actually a dog

  • If you're crafty in the kitchen, have a go at making a batch of homemade, football-themed dog cookies using your pup's favorite dog treat recipe, like Everyday Dog Mom's Peanut Butter Football Chomps, and shaping them into footballs before baking.
  • If you're looking to save time that could be spent giving belly rubs instead, any NFL-loving pooch is sure to enjoy a football toy like one from Chewy that can dispense treats throughout the big game.
  • When: Sunday, February 7, 2021
  • Kickoff time: 6:30 p.m. ET (3:30 p.m. PT)
  • Where: Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida
  • TV Channel: CBS
