Superbowl Recipe Mashup

Hey all you sports fans and foodies! As you know the Superbowl is coming up in one week, even if you don't watch football all year it seems the Superbowl is the one football we can all stomach. And I say this because its just as much about the food and the beer, as it is the actual game. I've gone through and pulled out some recipes from previous blog posts for you to browse for YOUR Superbowl party. Some people might look at these recipes and think "Not Superbowl worthy", but you don't have to eat only Deep fried wings and nachos, not saying people don't enjoy those things because I certainly do, but why not add something a little different to the mix too!?

Homemade Hummus

Calling all Fellow Hummus Lovers!!


I don't think there are any hummus recipes that are really "hard", more or less trying to get one that has the right proportion of ingredients. Hummus has become one of my favorite snacks for entertaining and evening snacks, it has become a staple on the shopping list. So I figured I'd save a couple bucks by making it myself, I make everything else! We usually shop at Sobeys, and they have a great international food section but one thing they don't have (at our local Sobeys anyway) was tahini paste. BUT! Alas they carry it at Superstore in many sizes, I bought the Tahina Brand, 1lb for less than $5.


So finally today, I pulled out all the ingredients and whipped up a double batch of Sun dried Tomato Hummus. So far so good! The recipe says that you can keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days and even freeze it for up to a month! Hence the double batch!


So this is the recipe I used, then decided to step it up and add some sun dried tomatoes to half.
