Desserts, Sweet Snacks

Cinnamon Churro Bites

Today’s foodie theme is a Superbowl Challenge! I decided to come up with two savory and two sweet things that symbolize the (Northeast) New England Patriots and the (So Cal) Los Angeles Rams. This wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be because … well, evidently I know very little about what is “typical” food in LA. For the “sweet component” for The Southern Left Coast, I decided to go with these Cinnamon Churro Bites. I don’t know is they are more Mexican than So Cal, but I did see them on dessert menus in LA when I was googling, so I went with it. I was too lazy to make the chocolate sauce that usually accompanies churros though!

Deviled Egg Footballs

The Superbowl is on Sunday so I’m trying out a few recipes in the run up to the big game. A friend shared this idea to my FB page last weeka dn I took it as a little bit of a challenge. One thing of note when making these: under-season (or leave out completely) with salt in the egg filling… pepper, parika, all good. But the bacon is so salty that you might want to add very little to the mixture, lest you have a salt-lick on your hands!

Mini- Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mini Cookies. Aren’t they just the best? Two bites and you’ve scarfed one down. I make mini-cookies every now and again, mainly because I have this huge cookie jar and I make a contest out of it on my Facebook page to see who can guess how many there are. Last year I did the standard Chocolate Chip Cookie with mini-chips, this year, it’s the Chocolate White Chocolate Chip version. If you cant to pay along, head on over to the FB page and enter!

Oven-baked Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

Here are a few numbers for you:
1. Superbowl Sunday is the second biggest annual “food event” in the US, trailing only Thanksgiving.
2. The 5 most consumed foods, according to Forbes, are: pizza, nachos, chicken wings, chili and beer. I guess beer is a food.
3. According to the National Chicken Council’s annual report, during the Super Bowl 2017 weekend, Americans ate 1.33 billion chicken wings. That is a lot of wings.

So all of this said, I’m going to be making some Superbowl treats in the run up to the big game. I am not a big NFL fan (give me ice hockey any day), but it’s a good excuse to make food. So I am starting with these yummy. Oven-baked Honey Garlic Chicken Wings … Easy to make, no greasy messy, very crispy, very flavorful.
