Game Day Food

This weekend is the big game, Steelers vs the Pack. Everyone who knows me, know I live in cheeseland, but me and my family are HUGE Steelers fans. This sometimes makes it difficult for my 8 yr old.

One thing I love about the Super Bowl is the food. I am always amazed at what everyone serves. Being we are in a new home this year and have plenty of room we are having our second football party and our very first Super Bowl party. My daughter is very excited to have people over, but I am not sure if she is more excited for the people or the food. At the last one she pulled a chair up to the counter and grazed on all of the food. There were few people here, but enough food for 4 times that many! Some of you may be curious as to what that food was, well I am going to tell you what we had last time and what I am making this time.

Baked Chicken & Fiesta Potatoes

Baked Chicken

4 chicken breasts sprinkled with Chef Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning Blends, Poultry Magic.

Bake at 425 for 45 min or until done.


Fiesta Potatoes

5-6 med red potatoes, diced
1 packet of taco or fiesta seasoning
1 small onion, chopped
1 small bell pepper, chopped
1 T olive oil

Line a baking sheet with some aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.

Put the potatoes in a bowl, add olive oil, stir until the potatoes are all coated. Mix in the onions, peppers, and taco or fiesta seasoning.

Cover the potatoes with another piece of foil and pinch the edges closed.

Bake at 425 for 45 min. If you prefer your potatoes to have a more crunchy texture you can bake uncovered.


Serve with vegetable of your choice or a nice salad.

Potatoes are very good dipped in ranch dressing or topped with salsa, sour cream, or cheese sauce (you can do all of it if you are feeling adventurous!)

The leftover potatoes are great when mixed in a ham and cheese omelet the next day.
