We had a small group over for the Super Bowl. I didn't want to go to crazy with the menu because I wanted to relax and watch the game. We ordered a 3 Ft long Sub and put out a cheese and pepperoni tray. I made a simple layered mexican dip and some guacamole. For dessert I made Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies, Lemon Bars and Reeses Peanut Butter Bars.
The Chocolate Cookies are a family favorite. The recipe is simple but makes a wonderful cookie. I found the recipe at AllRecipes.com a couple of years ago. I've provide a link so that you can give it a try.
The Lemon Bars were from Rose Levy Beranbaum's, Rose's Christmas Cookies. The recipe is quite lengthy. I don't have time to post, but will definitely post later. These were by far the best lemon bars I have ever made. The recipe is quite simple. The base is just shortbread with a nice lemon curd on top. (The lemon meringue pie inspired me. What can I say?) They were nice and tart and looked beautiful. (Alas I took no pictues.)
My husband actually made the Reese's Peanut Butter bars. The were from a box. (Shhhh.) He saw them in the Wholesale Club when we were picking up the Sub. I must admit. They were good!
As far as the game itself goes...SIGH. Let's just say that we were not so happy with the results!
MY NEW FAVORITE MAGAZINE
Okay. Probably many of you already subscribe, but I just got my first issue of Cook's Illustrated. I absolutely loved it. I read it from cover to cover. The articles are truly amazing. I got fabulous tips on everything from a pot roast to selecting the best cutting board. The website is also great. I love the recipes from the Test Kitchen. I can't wait for the next issue!
This weekend I hope to bake something interesting. Not the same old thing. We'll see what I can come up with.
