Brats on the grill, taco dip and I'll just have to wait and see. I'm going to look in the Appetizers and Hors D'oeuvres forum. Lots of great stuff to choose from.

Honestly, I could care less who wins. I was hoping the Colts would make it but since that hope got shot down a couple weeks ago, I'll eat, drink and hope for a decent game.

We're heading to my mom and dad's to watch the game since hubby screwed up the cable and we'll still be without tv. I think I'll take some of bucky's buffalo chicken dip. We're grilling burgers and will have German potato salad and all sorts of munchies. As usual there will be way too much food for 4 people! :roll:

Hot Crab and Artichoke Dip - Makes about 4 cups
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove, crushed through a press
One 10-ounce box frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and chopped
12 ounces crabmeat, picked over for cartilage and shells
Hot red pepper sauce, to taste
Baguette crisps, for serving
Position a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, and garlic in a medium bowl. Stir in the artichokes and crab. Spread in a 1-quart round baking dish, a chafing dish, or the crockery insert of a small electric slow cooker. (The dip can be prepared up to 1 day ahead, covered, and refrigerated.)
Bake until the dip is bubbling, about 20 minutes, depending on the shape of the baking dish. If the dip is refrigerated, allow 30 minutes. Serve hot with the baguette slices.
Baguette Crisps - These crunchy toasted slices are great for dipping, serving with cheese,
or even snacking.
For garlic-flavored crisps, heat 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil and 2 large garlic cloves, crushed under a knife, in a small saucepan until small bubbles appear around the edges. Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Strain the oil, discarding the garlic. Slice a long, thin baguette into 1/4-inch thick slices and place the slices in a large bowl. Drizzle the oil over the slices, tossing them well. Spread the slices on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 400° oven until crisp and golden, 12-15 minutes. Cool. For plain crisps, delete the garlic.
To store, place the crisps in a brown paper bag (storing in plastic can make the crisps soggy), close the bag, and store at room temperature for up to 8 hours.

my menu has changed. Daughter and fiance are hosting super bowl party. Keg of beer, and they want the chicken fingers and tempeh prepared like chicken wings, and tossed in Franks Hot Sauce; ranch dressing and carrot and celery sticks; crustini with tempenade, brie mixed with gorgonzola; Emerald Valley Fresh salsa with black beans and grilled corn added for nachos with melted cheddar. Need to find one more thing.
