What a fun time to be a Hoosier! We live in Indianapolis, who hosted the Super Bowl, so my husband and I spend a few days downtown in Super Bowl Village - so much fun!! Here we are one evening at Monument Circle in front of the Roman Numerals:
We hosted a very last-minute, small get-together for the game on Sunday. I LOVE hosting parties because I love to try out new recipes. Here was my latest creation for the game - hamburger cookies!
I saw these in the recent Martha Stewart magazine. The "buns" are peanut butter cookies and the "burger" is a brownie. I colored some frosting for the "condiments" and they turned out so cute! I sprinkled a touch of sesame seeds on top to look more like buns. And a quick suggestion - keep the brownies really thin... like, barely cover the bottom of the pan. Otherwise your burgers will be disproportionately larger than your buns.
I made some beer dip from a recipe from beautyandbedlam.com (here) and it was absolutely amazing! It was incredibly easy to make and it was really good with the homemade soft pretzels my husband made!
We had a wonderful weekend and it was even better with the Giants win :) We have tons of leftover food and a slight hang over, but otherwise it was an incredibly successful party! My husband is happy about the leftovers since I'll be traveling for work all week. We have a whole pan of homemade wings left, which I'm pretty sure will be his breakfast, lunch, and dinner all week!
And because I love my dog Lucy, here's a picture of her waiting for our Super Bowl guests to arrive.
Apparently no one told her the Steelers lost a few weeks ago!
Have a fabulous week!
