Twins Take on Hosting: Super Bowl Shindig

As you know, we're big football fans around these parts.  Granted, college football is our game and our Lions will pretty much never be in the Super Bowl, but we do always plan to watch The Big Game each year.  If you're planning a Super Bowl get-together for friends, here are some tips to keep in mind!


  • The game is the game.
We know some people don't really care about sports, but there's nothing worse when you're trying to follow a game closely and someone else wants to talk.  If you don't care about the game itself, find a chatting partner who is the same boat.  If you're the host, make sure that there are plenty of seats where folks can see and hear the TV easily.


  • Keep the food coming!
At a sports-watching party, we think it works best to have snack-style food, instead of a big sit-down meal.  People are going to be milling around, chatting and watching, so they might not want a heavy meal.  Think about a main dish that can sit for a little while and stay tasting great and lots of snacks to supplement it.  

Some of our best Super Bowl Parties have had chili as our main dish.  This Slow Cooker Chili is one of our favorites and it can just hang out in your crockpot and stay warm all evening!


Here are a few other recipes that are perfect for your party!
Make sure you remember to include something sweet for your guests.  We usually go with cookies, since you can make them ahead of time and they keep well.  We have a ton of favorite cookie recipes, which we'll link here!  If you want to get fancy, you can make our sugar cookies and cut them into football theme shapes and decorate in team colors.  Here are some other great desert ideas!

Will you be hosting a Super Bowl Party this year?  Let us know what you'll be serving in the comments below!
