How To Win Your Super Bowl Party With Recipes
Published

Anna FreemanOur beloved football season is coming to an end with the Super Bowl on Sunday. And as much as we hate to see it leave, we love to watch it go. To most Americans, the Super Bowl is a sacred holiday that under any and all circumstances, must be celebrated. Despite COVID’s inevitable impact on our party plans, there’s still a game to be watched and, most importantly, delicious food to be eaten. Super Bowl Sunday is the one night of the year that everyone becomes a football fan, or at least pretends to be one. It is also the one night of the year that every party host or attendee channels his or her inner Gordon Ramsay in a friendly, unspoken chef off. After all, it’s more about the food than the football, right?
While some people might prefer the classic pizza and wings duo, others, like myself, have a slightly higher standard for this unofficial national holiday. I mean, let’s be real: The Super Bowl wouldn’t be anything without the delectable game day grub. So, here are two of my favorite snack recipes that are bound to spice up your snack game. Both are easy to make and even better to eat. I can almost guarantee that with these recipes, you’re a shoo-in for MVP of the party.
Buffalo Chicken Dip (servings: 8-10)
Ingredients
- 2 (10 oz.) canned chicken (I use Hormel)
- 2 (8 oz.) packs of cream cheese
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- ¾ cup Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Sauce (more/less depending on how hot you want it)
- 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Crackers, tortilla chips, pita chips or celery sticks
Directions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Soften cream cheese.
- Mix softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce and shredded cheese into a large bowl. Then, carefully stir in the chicken (drained) and mix well.
- Add to a casserole dish or oven-safe dish and then add a thin layer of shredded cheese to the top (optional).
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until the cheese starts to bubble.
- Serve and enjoy!
Jalapeño Poppers (serving size: 2 poppers, servings: 8)
Ingredients
- 8 jalapeños
- 1 (8 oz.) pack of cream cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- Cajun seasoning, seasoned salt or seasoning of your choice
Directions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Soften cream cheese.
- Slice jalapeños in half (lengthwise) and scoop out the insides until clean (no seeds).
- Cook bacon and chop it up.
- In a large bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese and the chopped bacon.
- On a baking sheet, add tin foil and spray lightly with cooking oil. Then, lay jalapeños halves down.
- Add filling evenly to jalapeños then sprinkle your seasoning of choice (I typically use seasoned salt) and the other ¼ cup (or more) of shredded cheddar cheese to the top of the poppers.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!

Jack KocsisOn November 25, 2022, the prestigious IRONMAN race was held in Israel for the first time in history. As part of a commitment to exhibit athletic excellence around the world, NAIPO, one of the world’s preeminent massage companies, participated as a sponsor.
Since its founding in 2017, NAIPO has assisted thousands of users in the relentless pursuit to “Find Well-being.” NAIPO and its sister brand O’YEET produce state-of-the-art massager products that promote health and wellness for people of all walks of life, from the weekend warrior to the hardcore athlete. NAIPO’s percussion massagers in particular are designed for recovery after the sort of extensive physical activity an IRONMAN race requires.
The IRONMAN has been recognized for decades as one of the planet’s most challenging and impressive feats of strength and stamina. Athletes begin the race with a 2.4-mile (3.9 km) swim, followed by a 112-mile (180.2 km) bicycle ride, and concluding in a 26.2-mile (42.2 km) run. This series of events demands racers be at the very peak of both physical and mental health.
This year’s IRONMAN in Israel represented the 2022 Middle Eastern Championship. It took place in the city of Tiberias, in and alongside the historic Sea of Galilee. NAIPO was honored to partner with IRONMAN as an Expo Exhibitor. NAIPO’s personal massager products aid athletes with post-race recovery, and regular use during training staves off delayed muscle soreness and tension. In other words, NAIPO remains committed not only to helping racers finish the IRONMAN, but also to get them ready for the next one.

How To Pack Beer Cans In Your Golf Bag

Jack KocsisToday is an absolutely gorgeous day, and as I stare out my window this sunny spring morning, all I can think about is playing golf. The golf season is already well underway (unofficially kicked off by the Masters a few weeks back) but because of the vicissitudes of the weather where you live there is a chance you have not played a round yet. Don’t worry: That will all change soon.
If you are a casual golfer like myself, the experience is as much about the social element as it is about getting a low score. It’s about being outdoors with friends—drinking beers, smoking cigars. Amazon sellers obviously know this, which led to the introduction of an innovative and popular product in recent years, the beer cooler sleeve.
Depending on the rules and regulations where you golf, you might be able to pack a bunch of beers into your Yeti cooler and toss it on the back of your cart. Some courses have strict rules against this, however, forcing you to pay out the wazoo for beers from the cart girl, if you can even track her down that is!
Not wanting to get in trouble with authorities, people often just end up packing a beer or two in one of the compartments in their golf bag. But the cooler sleeve presents a better solution. It allows you to fit as many as seven beers in your golf bag, and will keep those beers chilled throughout the several hours of your round. The size of the sleeve allows it to slide neatly into the top of your bag, as if it were just another club.
Having the Pins & Aces beer sleeve may not improve your golf game (although a golf instructor did once tell me that to drink two beers before each round to golf my nerves and overthinking), but it is sure to improve your enjoyment.

The Best Sleds And Toboggans For Snowy Days

Jack KocsisIn the age of Zoom and the Orwellian concept of “distance learning,” snow days are a thing of the past. When heavy snow comes, students can expect another day spent in front of the computer, as Frosty remain unconstructed outside. There are still weekends, however, so opportunities for winter fun are not altogether lost. Their infrequency does mean that kids need to make the most of them whenever possible. To make sure your child is prepared, your family must own a quality toboggan.
The Paricon disc sled is the classic model, and it guarantees the type of snow day fun your grandparents had by rocketing down hills on the lids of metal trash cans.
Paricon Flexible Flyer Round Disc Snow Sled Toboggan — $29.97
Looking for a sled that is a step above the saucer? Then this one by Avalanche Brands is for you. Although more expensive, it fits two people on it so it may actually save you money if you have more than one child. Keep in mind that because it features a rope and handles, you will be expected to do the manual labor of lugging its riders around the snow banks.
Want your son and daughter to be the envy of everyone in the neighborhood? Then you should opt for the LIFECHOIC inflatable sleds. Perhaps not as reliable as the tried and true models above, they are guaranteed to catch the attention of all who see them. Before long your ears will be ringing with the presumptuous refrain, “I got next!”
