Super Bowl Sunday is Almost Here!

I am sure by now you are prepared to order your favorite pizza, make your favorite meatballs, dip or cheese and crackers - our supermarket had gargantuan scallops, crabs and shrimp. Don't forget my one dish stew, chili and ziti on previous posts. I thought I would share a few special sweet treats out of the ordinary to have throughout the day or after the game. It should be a very exciting game - we do have two good teams competing . The Giants and The New England Patriots which are my team as those who know me know I was born in New England and always root for the Patriots.
I am just glad for the opportunity to relax with my husband and view the game on TV in our comfortable living room away from the crowds. Try the following recipe suggestions:

1 cup milk
1/2 cup salt
2 eggs

I like the Yorkshire pudding . It's easy, sugar free, made with ingredients you usually have in the house, and goes with a meal or by itself as a warm treat.
The pumpkin bread can be frozen in loaf or slices if left over and makes a great coffee treat or snack for the children. The salad is a nice way to get a few servings of fruit and is a little different than the ambrosia I gave you last week.

Enjoy the recipes and the game! God bless you!
