Omg. The Superbowl is almost here. One of the biggest days of the year is just around the corner. And you know what I’ll be doing during the game? Most likely blogging. Maybe watching a little Jersey Shore. And hopefully consuming delicious food from my Sunday Funday cooking extravaganza. No, I will not be watching the Super Bowl. No, I will not be cooking Super Bowl food to bring to someone’s house to watch the big game. And no, I will not be rooting for any team. Because it’s dumb. And boring. Watching sports is like watching paint dry. It’s pointless. Ok, now that I pissed all of you sports fans off, I’ll apologize and change the subject. And do not comment that CrossFit is a sport. I consider it my workout. And the guys I watch workout are all half naked while working out, count me in as a participant in that “sport”.
I just drank a “dirty chai” and my stomach might explode from this sugar bomb. Abort. Never doin’ that sh*t again.
But back to the super bowl. People really only like special days like this because of the food that is involved. That’s why you just googled ‘super bowl food’ or ‘paleo super bowl food’ and you mouth started salivating. Pavlov style. Well since I’ve never really been to a Super Bowl party, I had to think of things I would want to snack on. But that’s too simple to me. All I really want to snack on is nuts (insert dumb jokes here. original.) shredded meat, and anything involving sweet potatoes. So I had to think a little bit more to satisfy all of you sports snacking freaks out there. That wasn’t an insult. If you like snacking, I like you. Sports or not.
I used this dip for everything. Sweet potato chips. Shredded chicken. Ham, rolled up in lil fruit roll ups-minus the fruit. Celery. Really anything, honestly. It’s pretty stupid delicious. And simple. I also ate it by the spoonful. Stop judging me.

i am OBSESSED with your blog.. you seem pretty cool too.
Lol thanks Amy!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Am totally making and bringing this and some slow cooker beef so I have some delicious noshes on Sunday. And no guilt. LOVE your recipes girl!
Awesome Alicia!! Glad you like them 🙂
Yummm! This sounds delicious! You should definitely add this recipe to the Ultimate Paleo Super Bowl Party Menu..it’s lacking a dip > http://www.skinnyscoop.com/list/melissa_guitron/the-ultimate-paleo-super-bowl-party-menu
Thanks Jackie!!
Right there with you. I don’t see the necessity of having an entire season (Pre-season) before the official season. The next six months of my life I avoid social networking like the plague so I don’t have to see all the hoopla about players, bad ref calls, injuries, and all the other pointless crap. Besides everyone knows the best thing about the Super Bowl is the commercials.
No, the food justin. the best thing about the super bowl is the food!!
Damn, you’d think for as much as I love food I would have gotten that. I guess I was blinded by the annual adverts to call Pizza Hut and Domino’s for all your super bowl needs. Since finding Italian pizza those venues just don’t hold the same allure.
You don’t need no crap pizza bro!!!
Love it, love it, love it! We’re not really going to watch the game either so…you want some cooking buddies J and I will happily oblige 🙂
Oh hellls yeah Brier!!
your recipes looks delicious and I am just starting out on my Paleo lifestyle. btw… I like your sense of humor …. a lot 🙂 thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks so much Dannielle!!
This dip is YUMMY! My cuisinart is DEAD, so used my VitaMix instead, stellar. So good with the sweet potato chips! Got my shirt in the mail today! So perfect, it’s sunny and 68 degrees in ATL! Did I read that you’re going to have a tank in black?
Do you like it Natalie!? And yes, we are in the process of making black tanks!! Will have them in by next week!!
You have become my ultimate go to for a good laugh and awesome recipes. When reading your blog, i find myself nodding in agreeance…you say a lot of what i think…so great 🙂
Thanks so much for reading my blog Heather!!! Let me know if you try any of my recipes!
I have tried quiet a few of your recipes! For superbowl I made the sweet potato chips and the red pepper dip…I’ve actually made the dip again since then!! I also just this week made the Meatza my way which was a HUGE favorite..so yummy. kids loved it! keep the awesome recipes coming 😀
You can’t ever go wrong with meatza!! Glad you have liked the recipes!
Made this tonight, as I’ve got a competition tomorrow and won’t have much time between now and Sunday to cook everything that I need to. I used pecans because I’m and idiot and forgot to get walnuts. I added some crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick. Super yummy!
I bet it would also be good with some chili powder…it would have more of a taco/mexican flare. I’ll have to try it out and report back 🙂
Do you think something like this would work with artichoke hearts? I’ve been craving spinach and artichoke dip, but don’t want the dairy.
Yum taco flare sounds awesome!! I’ll have to try to think of something for artichoke hearts. I don’t think I’ll have one for you by Sunday though 🙁
Instead of buying jarred roasted red peppers I want to roast mine fresh on the grill…. How many peppers would you say the canned version contains? The weight will shrink significantly after cooking which is why I ask.
Hmmmmm maybe 10-15 Adam….
