The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seahawks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Seattle Seahawks<\/a> will play the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.denverbroncos.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Denver Broncos<\/a>, and you won\u2019t want to miss it. As you\u2019re planning your game day parties and gearing up for the exciting square-off, you may be concerned about what food you\u2019ll serve. You\u2019ll want to offer your guests a fitting and tasty spread of goodies.<\/p>\n<p>Say you want to get away from the standard game day fair. Maybe you\u2019re sick of the Buffalo wings and the mozzarella sticks and nachos. Of course, finger foods and appetizers are the perfect courses to serve, but what about something off the beaten path? If you\u2019re looking for a way to spice up the classic wings, why not try a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/recipes\/buffalo-chicken-dip-recipe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buffalo Chicken Dip<\/a>? It\u2019s an easy, cheesy way to dip anything from veggies to crackers.<\/p>\n<p>For another cheesy delight, you could try making a cheese ball shaped like a football. Try this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/recipes\/jeff-mauro\/spicy-cheddar-cheese-football-recipe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recipe<\/a> or use your own to make a football shape with Sriracha or sour cream laces.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are other types of dips that you could try: layered dips or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ideal-living.com\/countdown-to-cinco-de-mayo-traditional-guacamole\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">guacamole dips<\/a> for chips, spiked salsas for adults only, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.food.com\/recipe\/chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-dip-171792\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sweet dips<\/a> for cookies and fruit. Be creative! If you\u2019re going to do a standard dip, such as a marshmallow dip, why not dye it green and make icing yard lines, so it looks like a field? Or you could draw the number of your favorite player in the dip with icing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1294714308  alignright\" style=\"border: 0px none; margin: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/ideal-living.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/guacamole-640x427-1.jpg\" alt=\"Green Homemade Guacamole with Tortilla ChipsGreen Homemade Guacamole with Tortilla Chips\" width=\"429\" height=\"286\" \/>What about desserts? You could try decorating a standard cake to look like a football field, complete with football shaped sugar cookies, green icing with white yard lines and little plastic goal posts (you could make these with straws or buy them at a specialty baking store). Or, you could use cupcakes to make the field, with little gummy bears as the players.<\/p>\n<p>Want to do something more creative than nachos? What about a sweet <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/recipes\/nacho-normal-cheesecake-recipe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nacho Cheesecake<\/a>, a cheesecake that actually looks like a bowl of nachos?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re hoping to do more traditional nachos, why not also go all out? Beyond cheese and chili and salsa, there are onions, tomatoes , jalapenos and other peppers, black beans, and many other toppings. You could even sprinkle your delectable snack with some cilantro. If you\u2019re a big meat eater, you could try bacon, shrimp, chorizo, or pulled pork on your nachos. If you\u2019re more into different, creative types of veggies, try artichoke hearts, pico de gallo (way better than store-bought salsa), giardiniera (pickled veggies), roasted red pepper, or mixed herbs. Experiment with cheeses, from feta to blue cheese. You might be surprised and excited to come across the perfect combination of toppings.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, you\u2019ve gotten some new and exciting ideas for what to serve at your Super Bowl Party. Remember to be creative, have fun, and don\u2019t be afraid to try something new!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Be Creative with Super Bowl Food on Game Day On February 2nd, 2014, Super Bowl XLVIII will take place at MetLife Stadium.
