Super Bowl Recipes for Cooks Like Me Who Don't Cook

So this coming Sunday is the Super Bowl. I hope to be skiing during the day but will probably stop in at a friend's party to see the first half of the game and to enjoy the half time entertainment. As I am sure most of you do when you're invited to a party like this I am thinking of what I can bring that will be easy to make, doesn't require a lot of prep time and maybe something that's a little bit out of the norm of Buffalo Wings, pizza, dips and chili!

Even if I didn't work here at Stonewall Kitchen I can honestly say I would recommend loads of their recipes on line for something quick, fun and delicious for the game.

A couple of tried and true recipes are so simple and yet everyone loves them. Just get a jar of Roasted Garlic Onion Jam or Red Pepper Jelly and serve it with cream cheese and crackers. It takes literally two minutes to pull together and people can't resist. Another of our favorites is our cheese ball recipes made with one of our savory jams or chutneys. They take a little bit of time and a few ingredients, but the effort is so worth it. Make a few up at once and keep them in the fridge. Grab one and a box of crackers and everyone will rave.

Here is just one more "no-cooking skill needed" cocktail meatball recipe for the big game. Buy some frozen cocktail meatballs in the market, they are in almost every frozen food section. Purchase one bottle of any of our steak sauces or pasta sauces or one jar of our Apple Jalapeno Jelly. Put the meatballs in a slow cooker and the contents of the jar and heat them up. Unbelievably good!

This is what I think Stonewall Kitchen does best. It makes cooks like me (no fuss, no effort please) make something that people truly enjoy and with a minimum of time and ingredients even us challenged chefs can contribute something to the party that won't embarrass us!
