Super Bowl Party Kitchen Essentials

Earlier in the week I wrote a guide to pulling off the perfect Super Bowl party from scoring the perfect location, to purchasing a TV. Today I focus on the kitchen essentials because if you’re anything like me you love to eat.

Throwing a party is the perfect time to bring out your best ideas. From finding the perfect invitations to decorating tiny snacks with miniature football accessories; party planning, to put it simply, is fun.

If I’m hosting a party I like to make sure I have something for everyone and popcorn is the perfect universal snack. Did I mention this popcorn is all natural? These three ounce football bags come in a set of 12. Not only are they cute but require only a few minutes in the microwave and virtually no clean up.

After weeks of anticipation the snow has finally arrived across the US and it’s freezing cold. The weather can be a pain if you plan on grilling, but not if you purchase one of these non-stick grills from Chris Freytag. This indoor grill intercepts fat and grease and allows you to serve a healthy dinner option to guests. Nearly a month into the new year surely some of your party guests are still sticking to their resolution of a healthier lifestyle so this grill is the perfect way to cater to their diet.

If you really want to get “ohhhs” and “ahhhs” out of guests try a smoker. Now you may be wondering-what the heck can I cook with a smoker? Well you can smoke any type of meat such as chicken, pork or beef. You can smoke fish, vegetables and even some surprising items like cheese! If you’ve never experienced the deliciousness of a smoked dish you are REALLY missing out. This three-rack electric smoker comes with a complete guide to help you prepare an entree that are sure to wow.

I must admit, I aspire to be like Martha Stewart in the kitchen. So I am always looking for new ways to be innovative when cooking. It’s safe to say I’ve found it in this microwavable chip maker by Orka. Yes you can microwave your own chips and make a healthy snack; no oil or preservatives needed! All you have to do is slice up your choice of potatoes, apples, pears or even mangos and in minutes you’ve created a sensational and unexpected snack prepared in the microwave.

Until serving the main course you’ll need something to hold guests over. Chips and dip are a great solution, but there is nothing worse than putting out a delicious artichoke or cheese dip that quickly turns cold. If you aren’t a fan of chilled dip you can pour your snacks into this warmer equipped with a removable heating base.

I like to give guests a wide variety of choices. I’ll serve healthy options such as fruits or fresh veggies ,but mozzarella sticks or chicken wings are always a party favorite. No matter what you plan to serve during your Super Bowl party you’ll need something to put all your appetizers in. How cute are these Rachel Ray Stoneware platters? I am in love with the assortment of colors; notice they come in red and blue convenient for any New York Giants fan.

These little dippers are also from Rachel Ray and they are completely microwave, oven and freezer safe. They come in several colors such as yellow and orange; sure to match any party decor.
