I am drooling over that candied bacon!!!

Awesome list John! I normally enjoy my friend's party but if I had to host one I'd definitely try some of the recipes from each section. Thanks for sharing!

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Mae, peanut butter cookies are great! Always like them as a kid, and still do. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Lydia, that candied bacon is wonderful! SO worth making. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Angie, it's really good stuff! :-) Thanks for the comment.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Yi, it's fun hosting a Super Bowl party, but even better going to one at a friend's house. Less work! :D Thanks for the comment.

Amira said...

Great collection John. Thanks for sharing.

Laura Dembowski said...

Those desserts all sound good, but that fudge looks awesome and there's something so approachable about good fudge.

Judy said...

Fabulous! Now all I want is peanut butter cookies and candied bacon. Guess it's time for lunch. ;)

Deb|EastofEdenCooking said...

Well my goodness! What a round up! Those Chocolate Chip Bars are scrumptious!

Ansh said...

I haven't kept up with football this year. But I will attend any Super Bowl party for food. That candied bacon has my name on it.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Amira, so many dishes, just one game . . . :-) Thanks for the comment.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Laura, microwave fudge is wonderful stuff. And so easy to make! It's addictive. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Hi Judy, peanut butter cookies and candied bacon sound like a terrific lunch! :-) Thanks for the comment.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Deb, the chocolate chip bars are awesome! We don't make chocolate chip cookies anymore -- just the bars. They're that good. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Sippity Sup said...

All this food deserves a Super Bowl to put it in. GREG

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Ansh, we have followed football at all closely this year, either, but SB parties are always fun. Particularly when there's bacon involved. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Greg, it does! It's world class (if I'm allowed to say that these days!) :D Thanks for the comment.

Gerlinde de Broekert said...

What a delicious collection of recipes. I am eying the slow cooker chili and the shrimp dip. Thanks for all those recipes.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Gerlinde, the shrimp dip is a bit different and really good. Well, the chili is too, but the dip is fun! Thanks for the comment.

Abbe@This is How I Cook said...

Damn Man! I'm comin' to your house! What a spread!

Evelyne CulturEatz said...

Not a football fan but I would go to a party just to eat all these dishes! Seriously, that shot of the candied bacon, sexiest pic ever!

Pam said...

Great group of recipes, John! I am seriously considering the Boca Negra Cake as the hostess of the Super Bowl party we're going to is a chocoholic, big time. It looks delicious and I know it would be a hit. Since the Bears can't win, here's to New England and let Brady be the MVP! Thanks for the recipes! Take care

savorthebestcooks@gmail.com said...

Great post, John, you got me with the fudge! So many wonderful sounding recipes to consider for Feb. 5th. Thanks :) Pat

Tricia Buice said...

Wow you've got it all covered John! So many recipes, so little time. The dips and that crab rangoon recipe are calling my name :)

Merryn@merrynsmenu said...

What a line up! Your game recipe collection is better than any match line up but I hope your favourite team wins. Candied bacon ... I am sure that will go well with fried eggs for a great Australia Day breakfast �� thank you John.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Abbe, you'd be most welcome! :-) Thanks for the comment.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Evelyne, that's a fun picture, isn't it? Great dish, too! Thanks for the comment.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Pam, the Boca Negra Cake is SUPERB! Mrs KR makes it all the time for company. MRS KR developed a gluten-free version of it that we need to post -- incredibly, it's actually a bit better than this version! Thanks for the comment.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Pat, that's really good fudge! Thanks for the comment.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Tricia, the crab rangoon recipe is different, and really fun. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Merryn, love the idea of candied bacon for an Australian Day breakfast! Make loads -- people will want seconds. And thirds. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Cheri Savory Spoon said...

Hi John, something for everyone here, from sweet to savory. my husband would go crazy for the bacon.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Cheri, that bacon is always a favorite of many people whenever we serve it! Thanks for the comment.

Lea Ann (Cooking On The Ranch) said...

What time shall we be there? :) Great line up John.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Lea Ann, :-) Thanks for the comment.

Robyn said...

Wow, look at all these yummy suggestions. I love all the hearty comfort food for the Super Bowl and then after that, I get serious Spring fever. I can already feel it coming!
Your photos are always so appetizing, John, and your recipes so flavourful and mouthwatering. Great collection!

Liz (Good Things) said...

That bacon. xxx

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Robyn, we've been really digging hearty comfort food, but we're starting to switch appetite gears, too. Spring is just around the corner! Thanks for the comment.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Liz, that bacon is awesome stuff! Thanks for the comment.

Anu - My Ginger Garlic Kitchen said...

What a wonderful collection of game recipes, John. Mmmm – that fudge is calling my name! Love how delicious everything looks here. 🙂

I think we should all come to your house to watch the Super Bowl. :D

Peachy @ The Peach Kitchen said...

Everything in this round up sounds so delicious! Yum!

Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes said...

GiGi Eats Celebrities said...

I MIGHT wind up being the ONLY PERSON who doesn't watch the superbowl - hahahahaha!

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi GiGi, well, you'd be in excellent company. :-) Thanks for the comment.

mjskit said...

Your timing was perfect! Today we received an invitation to a SB party potluck and was about ready to start looking for ideas. Thanks for the great list!!

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi MJ, your worries are over! Now all you have to do is make one of these dishes. :D Thanks for the comment.

Good Lord, what a list! I have always wanted to make candied bacon, and remember having seenit on your blog. Thanks for reminding me!

Great round-up. The Green Chile Stew with Pork sounds especially tasty to me.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Pam, that's a good dish! Nice and spicy. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Liz That Skinny Chick Can Bake said...

Such a terrific roundup---something for everyone. Now that the Packers are out, we ca actually watch the game without the family getting too stressed out. Means half time snacks are welcome!

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Liz, I think most people who don't have their team in the game find the food the most interesting thing about the SB. We do! :-) Thanks for the comment.

Denise Browning said...

A real prize to celebrate the super bowl... and great additional ideas to make it even more special.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Denise, with these dishes, fun will be had by all. :D Thanks for the comment.

Frank said...

There's some great eating listed here. You know, some people think it's funny that being such as "gourmet" I like onion dip, but I really do. My guilty pleasure, I guess. I'll try it next time with clams, sounds delicious!

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Frank, we like that onion dip too, junky dried commercial soup and all! Guilty pleasure are fun, aren't they? :-) Thanks for the comment.

Jean | DelightfulRepast.com said...

John, I'm just dashing out the door, but I'm coming back later to go through your list thoroughly! I better do it *after* lunch though because it's going to make me hungry!

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Jean, yup, definitely read this after lunch -- loads of hunger-inducing links here. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Eva Taylor said...

We're having two couples in for Super Bowl. I hadn't thought about making cheese straws but I just love your recipe, so it's definitely going on my menu. Thanks for the round up John, it's so handy.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Eva, cheese straws are wonderful! Super flavor fit for, well, the Super Bowl. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Food Gal said...

OMG, if you put platters of all of these in front of me at the TV, I don't think I'd ever need to leave my perch. ;)

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Carolyn, nothing like a little indulgence from time to time, is there? :-) Thanks for the comment.

Juliana said...

I am not a football fan, but would love to taste all the recipes... going through the list, I realized that I have not had velveeta cheese dip in ages...and I am loving your recipe...
Enjoy your week John :)

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Juliana, that cheese dip is really junky, but really addictive. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Amy (Savory Moments) said...

I'll be over to watch it with you guys and enjoy all this tasty food ;-)!

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Amy, you'd be welcome! :-) Thanks for the comment.

Raymund said...

Nice round up, everything is nice and definitely a champion of a food come game time

Unknown said...

John, I think you need to have that bacon photo printed framed and mounted on your kitchen wall. A piece of art! Thanks for the fun round up, a little something for everyone.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Raymund, definitely a champion line up! :-) Thanks for the comment.

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Bobbi, that bacon was a lot of fun to photograph. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Barbara | Creative Culinary said...

I love appetizers above all else and now I'm dying. I haven't had dinner yet so I'm starving and now nothing will measure up. All your fault...great roundup!

Kitchen Riffs said...

Hi Barbara, I think I could make a whole meal on appetizers. And, well, have actually done so in the past. :-) Thanks for the comment.
