Is anyone else stuck at home today due to the snow? I’m not going to lie, I’m kind of enjoying being snowed in. I’ve got work to do on my laptop, soup to make, passed out dogs, and a fire going. The ice outside of my door is pretty much a hall pass to not do much today.
However, I realize that the Superbowl is coming up and although I’m traveling and not doing a big bash this year- many of you will be throwing some amazing parties and might be looking for ideas!
Here are some savory things from year’s past- and I’m also working on a great recipe for a delicious snack to serve. I’ll share that a bit later this week! As well as a sweets roundup- because that’s important.
Happy Superbowl Prepping and Snow Day having everyone!

For decor, I always love using the food that I’m serving to create fun centerpieces. Last year there was a popcorn and snack bar, using metal buckets and glass jars as containers. Chalkboards with menus and snack items on them also add a fun element to game day- and some height to your food table.
I set up a beer flight for a tasting as well as a homemade soda bar with different soda syrups. Get your guests interacting as much as possible with the food and drinks- which takes the pressure off of you as the host.
- Pre-made pizza dough- store bought or your favorite crust recipe
- ½ cup of pizza sauce (plus extra for serving)
- ½ cup of ricotta cheese
- ½ cup of mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup pepperoni, chopped
- **Any of your favorite pizza toppings
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Separate dough into 8 tennis ball sized mounds (making more or less depending on how much pizza dough you have).
- Roll each mound out flat until it’s about ¼ of an inch thick.
- Top one side of the dough with 1 tbsp pizza sauce, 1 tbsp ricotta, 1 tbsp mozzarella, and a sprinkle of pepperoni
- Fold the dough over and crease to seal it, cut a slit into the top of the dough to allow air to escape
- Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes- or until the tops are a golden brown
- Serve with extra pizza sauce or marinara for dipping!
