It will be the hubby and I and our son is coming over. I will invite my niece, she may or may not come over.

We are in it for the commercials and the hubby has promised to watch the half time show without groaning and talking trash. We might watch some of the game, who knows!

Salsa, veggie dip and warm chili cheese dip. Coney dogs with optional home made cole slaw.

Going to have to detox tomorrow until Mardi Gras.

Because the commercials are generally more interesting than the game.

That comment did not age well, that was actually a great game.

No"Homeland" binge watching for me yesterday.
The man asked me to make some wings for him to take to a Super Bowl party and he got so into the aroma, he decided to stay home and eat them himself, LOL. Came out really nice and we'll have the ones still marinating for dinner tonight with white rice and some sort of steamed leafy veggie. Here's the recipe if anyone wants to try a non fried version w/ lots of Asian flavor:

I dialed down the heat by omitting the chile peppers ( poor man, he can't take it) but snuck in about 1/4 tsp of Chinese chili sauce. He said it tasted a little hot but not enough to mess w/ his tummy. He doesn't like cilantro so I used it's cousin, parsley, instead. Tonight, I'll use more sliced oranges since they tasted so good w/ the meat.

Wound up with dead simple roast chicken and spinach salad. Mixed berries for dessert and chips and guac for snacking.

Since I had to work yesterday and didn't get back home until nearly 6, I grabbed some food from McDonald's.

Zuni Cafe style chicken has been on my roster for quite a bit. Easy peasy to make and you can season as you will. This week I'm going for fine herbes and a week or so back I used a garlic, pepper, and dried shallot seasoning. We normally only consume half a bird per seating (only 3 of us here) and I use the rest later in the week for pot pie, tacos, or a maybe a salad. I enjoy cooking but save time consuming dishes for the weekend.
