What I’m pinning: Super Bowl potluck

Much like her parents, C is a tiny Texans fan. Since they aren't an option, we're rooting for the 49ers!

We’re a big football-watching family, which means the Super Bowl is always a fun event. At last year’s big game I was 3 days past my due date, so needless to say we passed on party throwing or attending. We did have my mom over for a casual potluck, however, and I spent the afternoon “lounging” on the couch while eating the spiciest food options in hopes that C would make an appearance. Needless to say, she came almost a week later! This ended up being a really fun and casual day, so we decided to keep the family Super Bowl-watching potluck tradition going this year. I will (hopefully) be much more comfortable as I watch the 49ers kick some A and catch some Puppy Bowl IX highlights.

Since we’ll be potlucking, I’ve been looking for some yummy recipes for apps and small plates that we can share. My Entertain Board is now brimming with tasty options, and I have one week to narrow them down. Here are the current front runners:
  • Roasted Garlic Parmesan Beer Dip. YES. This recipe includes way too many of my favorite things to NOT make it — cheese, garlic, beer, sriracha. Done and done.
  • Sausage Crescent Rolls. Sausage, cream cheese, crescent rolls. Get in my belly! These seem like the perfect yummy bites for football watching.
  • Corn Dog Muffins. This is a cute twist on your typical corn dog that is easy to make and probably pretty delish! I like how the muffin aspect of the recipe could potentially cut down on greasiness too.
  • Salted Caramel Apple Hand Pies. Because you can’t have a potluck without something sweet! These are pretty easy to make, easy to eat, and salted caramel is at the top of my list of tasty desserts. Yum!
Mini pancake skewers with strawberries and whipped cream.
Garlic parmesan beer dip. This. looks. amazing.
Fig crostini with bacon. Can’t get enough of the salty/sweet combo!
Caprese bites.
Salted caramel apple hand pies. So cute, and yummy too!
Baked brie bites with walnuts. Yes!
Skinny baked mozzarella sticks.
Sausage crescent roll bites. Yummy!
Corndog muffins. How adorable are these?
Loaded baked potato dip with waffle fries.

For links to the recipes here and more, check out what I’m pinning on my Entertain board on Pinterest this week. What Super Bowl fun does your family have planned?
