Super Bowl/Mardi Gras/Valentine oh my!
This year the Super Bowl, Fat Tuesday and Valentine’s Day
fall within 4 days of each other,
Feb. 11, 13 and 14
We’re going to need some festive food!
This Peanut Butter & Bacon Snack Mix will work for all three occasions
It’s a Chex cereal based snack mix,
paired with chocolate peanut butter cups, M & Ms and bacon!
You could use team colors for the M & Ms for the Super Bowl,
then change them for Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day
Praline Party Mix would work for all 3 too,
no colors involved, just a yummy snack
Make things extra festive with a little dash of bourbon
Bourbon Meatballs are a great nosh for all three occasions,
perfect football food, festive for Fat Tuesday
and romantic for Valentine’s Day
Loaded Bourbon Bleu Cheese Potato Skins
can be enjoyed for the game and Mardi Gras festivies,
and guaranteed to make your Valentine very happy!
I love to make spirals for football watching and appetizers and these
Ham & Double Cheese Spirals with Poppy Seed Mustard Butter
are my favorite and will definitely be on the menu
for the Super Bowl
Enjoy a Chili Cheese Grits Supper Bowl
while you watch the Super Bowl
You could make a Muffaletta Pie for the game
and save the leftovers for Fat Tuesday
Then make a Mardi Gras Gratin for dinner on Fat Tuesday
And make a Mardi Gras Salad to go with it
I Love You Linguini is perfect for Valentine’s Day
Scallops with Creamy Bacon Pasta will win anyone’s heart,
and it’s actually very simple to make
You can also show your love with a
Spinach & Artichoke Heart Quesadilla
All occasion Coconut Cupcakes can be decorated for any theme,
holiday or occasion
Use a decorative topper
or dye the coconut a color to match your theme
Make things festive!

Great opportunities to make some party foods 🙂 Love that heart shaped quesadilla.
Thanks Angie!
The sauce for the meatballs reads as a great recipe. All of these are great. Thanks, Jenna!
You’re welcome Rita, they are easy to make too!
I’m not world’s biggest football fan but when our Lions are FINALLY close (keeping my fingers crossed for today!) I’ll be there (at least today!) These all look yum. Hosting Corkies here soon so there are some good ideas here!
Thanks Jeanie, sorry about your Lions, that was a close game~
Good morning, Jenna. What a great round-up of tasty dishes. I think tonight would be great for chili cheese grits. I am so happy that our Southern grits have been elevated by chefs and home chefs. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday!
Thank you Pam, there is nothing better than a bowl of cheesy grits!
Oh, my, you always have the BEST ideas for party food!! The bourbon meatballs look perfect for Super Bowl Sunday, as does your slider recipe from the Kentucky Derby post. I am spending way too much time reading your recipes this morning, going to get another cup of coffee and make my shopping list!
Thanks Carole, those are both great recipes and easy to make too!
Such great ideas! I think I just gained a few pounds.🤣 I love grits and I love chili but have never thought about serving the two together. It sounds like a delicious combination. I don’t have grits often because I’m the only one in my family that likes them.🧐🤪 I don’t remember a year when so many occasions were piled in together like this. Valentines on the same day as Ash Wednesday. That’s a problem!
Grits and chili are a delicious combo, I think people that think they don’t like grits have never had some prepared properly. Yes these holidays and the game are way to close together and Valentines Day on Ash Wednesday is a problem!
I will have some of everything please mam! YUMMY. You sure have a way of making everything look simply divine. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks so much Cindy!
So many yummy food ideas.
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh my Jenna , so many recipes and so many ideas. thanks you for your inspiration and I wished I had a few of them for the KC Chiefs game against the Ravens. Go Chiefs! I can’t believe we are headed to the Super Bowl for the 4th time in 6 years. Wow especially after our rather dismal season. I just wish the Kansas Jayhawks could take a page from their book. LOL The “experts” predicted we would be a number 1 seed and our current ranking is 7 or 8…depending on who you talk to. But it is a long way to March Madness. Hugs
Congrats to your Chiefs Kari! I’m routing for them too, I have family in Kansas City, Go Chiefs!
Lots of great ideas here Jenna – those spirals look so good. So do the meatballs, and the scallops and creamy bacon pasta, and the I loves you linguini. Oh, and the Mardi Gras Gratin. All so delicious and thank you for sharing. I hope you enjoy all the upcoming festivities and happy Monday!
Thanks so much Kim, have a great week!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Both those pasta dishes are calling my name! And those cheesy grits look just as yummy!
Have a great week, Jenna! Enjoy your delicious entrees!
Thanks so much Nancy!
Oh, what’s a girl to do with so many days for celebrations! I think you have it covered with these wonderful recipes. Jim would love the grits and I’m all for cupcakes, never met one I didn’t love. Great recipes Jenna! And, the pretty table setting celebrating Mardi Gras………..
Thanks so much Emily, the Coconut Cupcakes are a very favorite of mine, such a delicious little bite!
That anonymous me above Jenna! Emily
So many treats and temptations Jenna! I hate when the holidays and events are stacked up together 🙂
I know, and this year they are really back to back!
I’m hungry just looking at all your delicious ideas! ❤️
Thanks Jill, lots of celebrations this month!
Wow! What a great collection of recipes! Now I can’t wait for February 11, 13 & 14! Happy February!
Thanks Laura, lots to celebrate this month!
