Super Bowl Snack Stadium!

Hey friends!

Are you having a Super Bowl party?!

I am... but it's an early morning party...

Our local Fox 19 is having a 

Super Bowl party Friday...
today...
as in, later THIS morning.

To get ready for the BIG event they asked 

if I could help put together a snack stadium.

Of course!!

I love a great party 

--the Super Bowl is always a fun event 

to plan for!!

How exciting...

This project has been in the works for
a little while now...
With the help of Pinterest, family and friends...
I gathered some of the easiest
and best-loved fun for a super-amazing,
 Super Bowl party.

Whether you plan to
relax on your couch in you PJ's...or throw
a great big shin-dig...there's
probably something for everyone
during today's segments on FOX.
(at least I hope so...)

This is set-up from today...

this is set-up from home... 

testing out my design...

This is from earlier today...setting

everything up in the studio...

Yes, the hot glue gun was there too!

We are making a big stadium

complete with all the extras... 

like penalty flags, team colors and lots of snacks!!

Actually, we have a second stadium...

For those who like to order in...

City Barbecue is filling our 

second stadium...It's going to be delicious.

Please stop back later to see the filled stadium!!

I am so excited to see it all finished...

I hope it will look amazing...

I really do...

But, we will all have to wait until we are live on air...

Let's all keep our fingers crossed  ;)

I think there's a trick to it I haven't discovered just yet...

 Beer Cheese for Pretzels:  Blue Ribbon Kitchen --photos coming soon!!

2 packages Philadelphia Cream Cheese

1 packet dry ranch seasoning ( Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning)

6 ounces-beer

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions:

Mix softened cream cheese and ranch seasoning until combined.

Add 6 ounces of beer, stir well. ** If making cheese into a football shape, add only 4 ounces-for a slightly thicker consistency.

Add the shredded cheddar cheese.  Cheese mixture will thicken.

Chill at least two hours. 

Football:

If desired, form cheese into a football shape, add small pepperoni to cover the surface, add string cheese for laces.

Serve with pretzels.

Don't forget to check later for all the details from our Super-Snack Stadium recipe segments!!

Remember Super Bowl LI will be on FOX this Sunday!!
--So much to remember...
