Superbowl Party Food?

I'm not a football fan, but DH and his family like it. So since the Bears are going to the Superbowl (and we live in Chicago), we are having a Superbowl party for the first time. Is anyone else having a Superbowl party and what are you serving? I was thinking of making chicken wings and nachos, but I don't know what else. DD's birthday party is the day before, so we will also have left-over chicken tostadas.

Yup...This is our annual event. We usually have about 20 people over. The guys watch the game the girls watch the commercials.

This year:

Pork Tenderloin with Paul Prudhomme's dry rub. (on the grill)

B&B Baked Beans -doctored up

Large Salad

Gluten cornbread for the others. (someone else makes)

Easy

My daughters birthday also.

I don't think we're having one this year, but if we were I would serve:

Chicken Enchilladas (corn tortillas, not flour)

Tortilla Soup

Chips/Salsa

Mexican Salad (shredded romaine, tomatoes, corn and red onions in a balsamic vinegar dressing)

Dessert would be some sort of brownies or cookies or Apple cobbler Or all 3.

These are things I'd make BEFORE going gluten free, and although I'd need to adjust the ingredients to verify source is gluten free, they can all be made that way.

They're also easy to make ahead of time so that you don't have to avoid watching the game!

Personally, I'd be watching the game.

I have the best recipe EVER for 7-layer dip. Just beware though, people will want you to make this every time they see you! I have two friends that request it every year for their birthday!

Layers:

1. Can(s) of refried beans along base of pan

2. 3-4 ripe avocados mashed up with lemon juice, salt & pepper OR some pre-made guacomole

3. Mix 2 cups sour cream with 1 cup mayo and a taco packet in separate bowl, spread over avocado layer

4. Chopped Scallions

5. Chopped Black Olives

6. Chopped Tomatoes

7. 1 packet shredded cheese - i usually use the mexican mix or monteray jack

Serve as is (cold or room temp, do not put in oven) with corn tortilla chips!

YUM.

I usually guesstimate the amounts listed above depending on how big my pan is. If I do a smaller amount than what I listed above - I'll cut the sour cream/mayo/taco packet in half and only use half the seasonings - depends on how much spice you want in it!

This is a guaranteed hit! Let me know if you have any questions..

We are orginally from Chicago but now in Wisconsin. So glad about the bears going this year! So, ofcourse we will have aparty. Even if it is just the four of us. We like little smokies wrapped in pizza dough, potato skins, hot wings, homemade chips and anything else I can think of. If you want any tips on these just ask!

So do you just put the little smokies in the sauce and warm them that way?

Has anyone ever soaked their meatballs in chili sauce & grape jelly mixture? A friend of mine gave me that recipe many years ago - it's really good. I'd love to make them, but I can't seem to find a chili sauce that would be safe...or is the Heinz one okay? ( they mailed me a list, and it wasn't on it, so I'm assuming it is NOT safe). They are sooooooo goood.....

Yep dump the smokies (drain the liquid off, sometimes there is some in the package) and the bbq sauce into the crock pot and warm. Sooo yummy!

I can't give you an answer for a gluten-free chili sauce. However, I can say that if it isn't on heinz gluten-free list then it isn't gluten-free. They are great about putting their list together.

I'm going to check that list again. I did just skim it and it was something I was looking for, but I did not study it like I should!

Mmmmmm...everything sounds so yummy. Now Dh is saying he isn't totally sure about having a party (we don't have a HUGE tv), but I want to have one just for the food. I'm going to try to make that 7-layer dip. It sounds really good. I am making refried beans for DD birthday party. I could use the leftovers for the dip. If I don't make it for Superbowl sunday, I will make it another day. Thanks everyone for the great ideas!

For the little meatballs in jelly sauce, I use ground beef, with garlic powder and onion powder and a bit of italian seasonings, in tomato sauce from a can, not doctored up, you need plain and cranberry sauce, either the whole berry or the jelly. The cranberry sauce melts right in and makes a tangy sauce for the meatballs. I just roll the meat up into tiny balls place them in the sauce and let them cook away!

I made the 7 layer dip for lunch yesterday for myself and ate half of it myself! (I'm pregnant, so that's my excuse!). Very good and so simple.

I'm so glad you liked it! I usually eat half of it & I'm not even pregnant!

I actually decided to make it this morning to bring to the superbowl party I'm going to. I brought it last year, but it was gone in about 20 minutes, so I'm sure people won't be disappointed!

Prinsessa -- Hope everyone likes it!!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
