Easy Superbowl Recipes for Munchies

It’s Superbowl time! As you know I was born and raised a New England girl and somehow this year we’re not at the Superbowl! Hey, it was a good run and we almost made it! Three Superbowl wins in five years isn’t too shabby. So there’s my Patriots plug! Superbowl Sunday is a great day to hang out with your friends and watch the two best teams of the year play for this win. So put on your favorite sports jersey, jacket or cap and have fun. Somehow I think I’ll still be wearing my number twelve, Tom Brady Patriots quarterback jersey. I hope you have a lot of fun and enjoy these recipes; they are easy to make and satisfy appetites.

Mid-west tortilla wraps

Count on one tortilla for each person. These are so simple and good and always a hit at any party.

Spread each tortilla (use any flavor, white, wheat or vegetable) with a layer of softened cream cheese.

Sprinkle over top diced mild jalapeños and chopped black olives.

Roll somewhat tightly and place in Fridge covered until firm enough to slice ( about an hour.

Cut tortilla in slices about an inch thick and place on serving plate in rings.

*For a Southwest flair also add chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

California style crab dip

Mix one package of softened cream cheese with one can of crabmeat (you can substitute shrimp for the crabmeat if you prefer), 2 tablespoons of cocktail sauce and ripened diced avocado. Add one teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt. Mix all ingredients except avocado well, fold in avocado last. Serve with your favorite crackers or tortillas. If you’d like to make your tortillas, it’s easy. Cut round tortillas into six triangles, arrange on baking pan and lightly salt. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about ten minutes or until lightly brown. Not much work, they taste great and it looks like you really went the extra mile.

Sweet Addition

Pop up your favorite buttered popcorn, sprinkle with sugar to coat popcorn and toss in semi-sweet chocolate chips or your favorite chopped up candy. This goes fast, it’s addictive (also great for movie watching) I started making this years ago and never grow tired of it. I prompt you to try it, sounds different yet all who try it come back for more.
