I took a class regarding everything that has to do with the Super Bowl my senior year of college and absolutely loved it! It was by far my favorite class because I never thought about how much time and thought goes into each Super Bowl. Fun Fact: The Super Bowl was called Super Bowl 50 last year because they did not like the way Super Bowl L sounded. After "Super Bowl 50", they went back to roman numerals. Whether it is the game, the venue, the channel the game is being viewed on, or the commercials, every little piece is so intricate! Clearly, people enjoy it, since this program gets the most attention all year round. Who can blame them?! Between the commercials, game, and halftime show?? There is something for everyone!
I will admit, I enjoy football! It is my favorite sport to watch, whether college or NFL, and I love the comradery. There is something about football that can be made enjoyable to everyone (ok, that may not be true, but I like to believe it!) When the Super Bowl approaches, it doesn't just become about the game. It becomes about the company in which you watch with and what you eat!
Here are my favorite easy/last minute recipes!
Slow Cooker Pulled BBQ Chicken
What You Need:
- 1-1 1/2 lbs of Chicken (Cleaned)
- 1 Bottle of your Favorite BBQ Sauce (Here is my Favorite // Here is one I use when I am out of my Favorite)
- 2 tsp. of Garlic Salt
- 2 tsp. of Pepper
Recipe:
- Clean your chicken and trim any fat off of it, (Personally I like to use Chicken Breasts because it is easier to work with). Once your chicken is cleaned, you can cut it into strips (This part is optional)
- Pour 1/4 of your BBQ sauce on the bottom of your slow cooker. After, place your chicken in the slow cooker.
- Season your chicken with garlic salt and pepper.
- Pour another 2/4 of the BBQ sauce on your chicken, leaving 1/4 of the sauce left in your bottle.
- Set your slow cooker. 4 hours for High OR 7 hours for Low.
- When the time is up, take two forks and pull your chicken apart while still in the slow cooker. The chicken should basically fall apart.
- Let the chicken sit on keep warm or low for 30 mins to an hour.
- Enjoy!

- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Pepper
- 1/2 tsp of Garlic Salt
- Favorite Bag of Chips (I am LOVING these Trader Joe Chips)
Recipe:

Those are my two favorite recipes to make for the big game (even if my team didn't make it, GO GIANTS!)
