Recipes for the week
Last minute Super Bowl ideas + reader faves 🌞
Happy Sunday. Today, I have last-minute Super Bowl ideas plus a few reader faves to share with you.
Weekend Update
Today, I’m staying inside and away from the bitter cold! This weekend, I tested a few ideas for my Galentine’s Day dinner on Friday, including this very pink raspberry and London fog tiramisu. The whipped mascarpone is flavored with freeze-dried raspberries, and I dipped ladyfingers in a delicious London fog latte soaking liquid. I will be tasting it today, and I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
This week, I’ll be preparing for the dinner party. My theme is “Cutie Pies”, so I’m making pot pies! I was going to do mini pot pies, but I think I’ll stick with the full-sized pies instead. I’ll also be making a fruit and cheese board, and a few snacky skewers. I might do tater tot skewers with a crème fraîche drizzle and maybe caviar (if it isn’t prohibitively expensive), along with cheese and creamy tomato sauce toasts and my Cherry Garcia Upside-Down Cake. I’m really excited!
For now, let’s get into a few Super Bowl ideas and reader faves.
SUPER BOWL IDEAS
Easy Baked Crab Balls

Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken Tenders
These air fryer lemon pepper chicken tenders bring a lemony flavor, crispy coating, and a luscious and dreamy lemon butter sauce for a crowd-pleasing chicken tender that will have everyone reaching for seconds or thirds.
Buffalo Chicken Tenders
Buffalo may not be playing in the Super Bowl, but that doesn’t mean these saucy Buffalo chicken tenders don’t deserve a spot on your plate!
Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings

Old Bay is not just for crab cakes! These dry-rubbed air fryer Old Bay wings are spicy, savory, and extra crispy, thanks to our trusty air fryer.
