    Take It Easy

    • Save money by making your own foot long sandwiches. Buy large Italian or French bread loaves or large bread rounds from your grocer or bakery

    • Load them up with your favorite spreads, meats, cheeses and toppings. Prepare the sandwiches the night before and wrap tightly in plastic wrap

    • Tortilla wraps can also be made ahead and wrapped in plastic

    • Don't be afraid to lighten up the menu and put fruits and raw vegetables into the lineup

    • Bake chicken wings and potatoes wedges instead of frying

    • Use low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt for dips 

    • Super Bowl Sunday is the perfect time for a potluck. Guests will be happy to bring their favorites finger foods, dips and spreads, chicken wings, burgers, sandwiches and chili

    Just For Fun...

    Super Bowl Sunday is the second-largest food consumption day after Thanksgiving. Super Bowl party food may be secondary only to the big-screen TV!  WOW!

    🏈

    2 out of 5 Super Bowl watchers never watch another game all year. They just love being part of the fun! It must be family and friends, the commercials and THE FOOD! 

    🏈

    The game was created as part of a 1966 merger agreement between the National Football League (NFL) and the competing American Football League (AFL) to have their 'best' teams compete for a championship.

    🏈

    In Super Bowl LV (2021), the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the first team to not only play but win the big game in their home stadium, Raymond James Stadium

    The following season, the Los Angeles Rams won Super Bowl LVI at their home SoFi Stadium.

    🏈

    At the beginning of the 2024-25 season, there were 12 NFL teams that have been to but never won a Super Bowl:

    • Arizona Cardinals
    • Atlanta Falcons
    • Buffalo Bills
    • Carolina Panthers
    • Cincinnati Bengals
    • Cleveland Browns
    • Detroit Lions
    • Houston Texans

    Of those 12, there are 4 teams that have never been to the Super Bowl:

    • Texans
    • Browns
    • Lions
    • Jaguars
