Super Bowl 2012

We decided to have a repeat of last year's Super Bowl party this year. We invited two couples from church, Gary and Bev and Mary Kay and Don. There was crazy amounts of food and alcohol for just 6 people. 

The Menu
Low Sodium Chili (you can find the recipe here.)
Low Sodium Cornbread 
Low Sodium Spinach Dip 
Lil Smokies in Low Sodium BBQ Sauce
Brownie Cupcakes
Sangria 

Our Guests Brought
Shrimp Cocktail
Cheese Spread and Crackers
Sugar Cookies
Spinach and Artichoke dip
And lots and lots of beer

The cornbread was a first attempt. It could use some work, but the result was pretty good. The Spinach Dip was all Josh. It tasted FANTASTIC! It was just like the Knorr soup mix recipe, but lower sodium. I made my famous Sangria. It is crazy simple to make and is always a crowd pleaser.

Sangria
1 cup of Orange Juice
1/4 cup of Lemon Juice
1/4 cup of Lime Juice
I cup of Sugar
I bottle of Red Wine (semi-sweet, semi-dry, or dry) 
Fresh Fruit (apples, strawberries, and blueberries work well)

Mix the Orange, Lemon, and Lime Juices with the Sugar. Then add the wine. Mix well. Add the fruit and chill.

Notes on the recipe:
The Lime juice can be left out.
Wine suggestions: If you live in Michigan-St Julian Red Heron. If you live in Missouri St. James Red Velvet.
Letting it chill overnight equals wine soaked fruit. 

Yummy!

Brownie cupcakes. Thanks for the idea Pinterest! The lighter ones are lower in sodium than the darker ones.

We hope you enjoyed your Sunday night. Football or no football.
