What to Take to the "Big Game"

The "Big Game" is next Sunday.  There are parties to go to and party food to make and take.  Are you one of those people who stops by the store and brings something that is already pre-made?  Way to take the easy way out!  Don't you feel guilty -even just a little.  I know we are all busy and it's very easy to grab a bag of chips and some French Onion dip while you're in the store getting a six pack of whatever barley included beverage you will partaking in during the "Big Game"

I found this wonderful no cook salsa that is very easy to make.  You should bring this to the Big Game party.  Won't you feel so much better?

Easy No Cook Salsa

2 cans 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes

1/4 cup thinly diced onion

1/4 cup parsley or cilantro

2 tablespoons lime juice

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 clove garlic minced

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tsp Green Pepper jelly

hot sauce to taste

Drain tomatoes reserving 1/4 cups liquid. Combine tomatoes and juice with remaining ingredients; cover and chill at least 4 hours.   Serve with tortilla chips

So quick and easy - good Super Bowl Party food.  Add to the recipe to make it as hot as you want.  This is so quick, easy, simple, yummy - last minute party food!!

And now I have provided you with some party food you can take to watch the football game on tv?

Chili Caliente!!

Sometime when I wasn't looking, I became an autumn chicken.  I don't actually know if that is the correct terminology, but since a young person is called a "spring chicken" it only seems right that a not so young person is called an "autumn chicken"  Well, this autumn chicken stayed up too late last night, and once again went in search for those food fairies today.

Once again, tonight is about about quick and easy.  I needed the get outta the kitchen in 30 minutes recipe.  Well, here it is (along with a ridiculously short post.  I promise I'll do better0

Until tomorrow...
