Score Big with These Super Bowl Eats

Monday, January 25, 2016

Some people count down to kick off. Then there are those of us that count down to the meal. At G&G, we fall into the latter group. Don't get us wrong - the game is great! But gathering with family & friends around great food is always our favorite! We want you to kick off your Super Bowl Sunday right, so here are a few menu ideas to get your culinary juices flowing. 

APPETIZERS

Pimento Deviled Eggs

Add a little spice to this southern classic with H&F's Pimento Cheese. If you haven't made deviled eggs, it's easy. Simply hard-boil a dozen farm fresh eggs, cut them in half and scoop the yolks into a bowl. Mix the yolk with pimento cheese and a little dijon mustard then squeeze the mixture back into the egg white halves. Sprinkle with some paprika and you've got a game day winner!

Bacon Caramel Popcorn

This one's simple! H&F's Bacon Caramel Popcorn is always a crowd pleaser. Just make you order enough!

Crackers & Dip

Dip platters should be unanimous with football parties. But any old dip won't do! Try H&F Freshly Baked Crackers with Artichoke Lemon Pesto, Bacon Jam or Fresh Zocalo Salsa for the ultimate platter.

Charcuterie

Another simple but delicious one! Spotted Trotter has done all the hard work of curing the high quality meats. You simply arrange the Black Pepper Sorghum Salumi and Rosemary Ham on a platter with local cheese like Red Hill Cheddar and our Caly Road Goat Cheese Sampler and voila!

MAIN EVENT

Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

Our kid-approved Buffalo Chicken Sandwich meal this week was designed especially with Super Bowl in mind. Darby Farms' chicken breasts are marinated in spices & Atlanta Fresh Greek yogurt, dusted with panko, then smothered in a homemade buffalo sauce. Instead of goalposts, you can put these bad boys between H&F buns & top them with mayo, lettuce & Doux South's angry cukes. Serve parmesan cauliflower poppers on the side for a meal that's sure to be a culinary touchdown!

Veggie Burgers

For the vegetarians at the party, throw some of Cafe Sunflower's signature Veggie Burgers on the grill or in the oven for a satisfying meal even the meat-eaters will be grabbing for.

Tamales

This one's simple. Chef Luis at Zocalo made his infamous tamales so you can simply pop them in the oven & be on your way to a fiesta!

Three Bean & Quinoa Chili

Get the slow cooked taste of chili in 20 minutes with Garlic Clove Foods' Three Bean & Quinoa Chili

COCKTAILS

Try these simple combos for a great gameday cocktail:

Ginger Syrup + Whiskey

Ginger Ale + Vodka

White Russian: Almond Milk + Vodka

DESSERT

Get that fresh baked smell with none of the mess: Little Tart's Frozen Cookie Dough will make you look like a baking rockstar. We won't tell...
