I was going to post last week and give y'all a few recipes before the big game but things got a little crazy around here. So, I decided better late than never! Besides who doesn't love talking about Super Bowl food?! Okay maybe it's just me... Anyways, here are a couple of my favorite game-day recipes!
Boiled Peanuts
Growing up my dad loved to make boiled peanuts! They're simple, salty and the perfect addition to any football game. This recipe is a southern specialty that anyone can prepare!
