My Paleo Superbowl Party Menu

Any given Sunday you might find me doing the following:

-Painting my nails

-Washing my hair for the week (once, maybe twice, is sufficient)

-Live tweeting the red carpet arrivals for the Emmys/SAG awards/Oscars, etc.

-Re-watching episodes of My Drunk Kitchen on YouTube.

Oh, hey, you know what Im not doing any given Sunday (or day that ends in "y")? Watching football. Okay, lets not discriminate here--the truth is, Im not watching any sporting event. Ever. You know what I will watch? An old lady trying to recapture the talent and success of her youth, shimmying around in a crotchless pleather girdle for 10 minutes before descending the stage into the arms of her son. I mean, boyfriend. In other words, Madonna.

For me, the Superbowl is really just an excuse to watch what I can only hope is a trainwreck of a half-time show (in recent history, Janet Jacksons wardrobe malfunction or Fergies vocal malfunction have been particular favorites) and willingly watch advertisements for cars, potato chips, and silicon implants, all while stuffing my gourd with the nearest starch and cheese dip. But not this year!!

I mean, Ill still be stuffing my gourd, but as for the menu, Im going to keep it paleo. Heres what Im planning on serving at our pigskin bash:

Nibbles

1. Maple-glazed cinnamon almonds and Rosemary Cashews (recipe coming tomorrow)

2. Walnut red pepper dip with red pepper paleo crackers

MEAT

Buffalo wings

Instead of frying ours in vegetable or peanut oil, Im going to use coconut oil. It has a very high smoke point (key for frying) and adds a tremendous flavor to meat. Ill be making the sauce with ghee instead of plain butter.

3. Mini cauliflower crust pizzas

Beanless chili

Im strongly considering this recipe (minus the teaspoon of sugar, duh)

Sides

4. Sweet Potato chips

5. Faux-tato salad

Dessert

6. Vanilla pavlova topped with paleo chocolate pudding (it tastes like frosting!!) and whipped coconut cream

Drinks

Mint Iced Tea

Whatever booze Kyle picks up

Whats on YOUR Superbowl menu??
