If there were ever a day when food was more important than the big event, it’s the Super Bowl. Am I wrong? Families and friends around the country gather in someone’s basement to drink beer, watch the commercials, eat tasty finger foods and maybe catch a little football. I love football as much as the next girl but I feel like the big day ends up being more about the noshing and funny adverts than the actual game.
When I think of game day food it involves lots and lots of napkins. Football noshes are meant to be messy. Totally slightly indulgent and with out a lot of fuss. Like bar food only without the fryer and in my living room.
These turkey burger sliders look like way more work than they are. The beauty of these is that they can be made ahead. In fact, they are better if you make them ahead.
I’ve made variations of these the last three Super Bowls. It’s been my signature app that I bring to wherever we are watching the game. These might be my favorite. I think using turkey in place of the traditional ground chuck for the burger makes them feel slightly less naughty when you’re eating two or three. Which is not totally the case since they’re smothered in sharp white cheddar and wrapped in puff pastry but whatever, right? It’s the Super Bowl, live a little!
This turkey burger recipe is adapted from the Mar-a-Lago Burger made famous by Oprah Winfrey after she had it at Donald Trump’s Florida Resort. It uses lean ground turkey breast and is flavored with sauteed celery, apple, onion, garlic and gets a nice bite from mango chutney and some sriracha hot sauce.
I made a simple avocado aioli by putting 1/4 cup mayo, 1 small avocado, 1 garlic clove, about 1/2 lime, juiced, and a little salt in a blender and pulsing to combine. If that’s not your thing, good ol’ ketchup and mustard will be more than fine to serve alongside.
What are you serving this Super Bowl sunday? Do you have a favorite football snack?
Preheat the oven to 400F degrees. Over medium heat, sauté the scallions, celery, apples and garlic in the olive oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Let cool. Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl. Add sautéed items, mango chutney, sriracha sauce, cilantro, salt and pepper, mixing lightly. Shape into 10-slider sized burgers. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray. Sear the burgers 3-4 minutes each side, taking care not to cook the whole way through. Remove sliders from pan and put on a plate to cool while you prepare the puff pastry. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the pastry and roll out. Cut the pastry into 10 equal squares. Place 1 patty on each strip and top with cheese. Fold the pastry up around the burgers and pinch the edges together to seal, molding to fit around the patties. Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg mixture. Place the mini burgers on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until puffed and golden. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

So, who would have ever thought about putting beer in cupcakes? ME!
I am more of a cocktail person than a wine or beer gal. But, I do enjoy all three libations. Like most women, I like just about any cocktail or alcoholic beverage that is sweet. I strongly detest red wine (I’m trying to find some appreciation for it); I don’t like my liquor straight (burns a hole in my heart); and I can’t stand dry wine ( I honestly don’t know why people will drink something that will make them thirsty). My favorite cocktails are Grey Goose and Cranberry and Amaretto Sours; my favorite wines are Chateau St. Michelle Riesling and just about any types of Moscato; and my favorite beers are Strongbow and ANGRY APPLE ORCHARD (which is technically cider but with alcohol. I just like calling it beer)!!! OM freaking G is this stuff good. I had it for the first time a few weeks back when my friend was having a get together at a sports bar and she was drinking a glass. She knew that I would love it and I would not disagree with her after I tasted it. So, I ordered a tall glass of this incredible orchard goodness and a big plate of nachos ( I told you I like man food). It was fantastic! It doesn’t even taste like beer. It tastes like apple cider but with fizz. Me love it long time! I thought how it would taste if I were to add it to something that was already sweet and “applely” that is when these Apple Beer Cupcakes were born.
At first I was going to make an apple float, sort of like a root beer float but with chunks of apple ( I still might do that) and see how it were to come out. I decided on cupcakes instead. I don’t know why, how, or where this idea came from but I’m glad it did. I took a basic cupcake recipe and added some shredded Golden Delicious apples and added some of this delicious beer and made an easy cream cheese frosting and they came out beautifully. The cupcakes don’t taste, AT ALL, like they have beer in them. In fact, I was wondering why add the beer at all. But the beer does deepen the apple flavor of the cupcakes and adds a but more moisture, I think.
If you decided to try this with any other apple flavored beer, I am not sure if you would get the same result. I’m sure that it will be fine, but I can’t say that with absolute certainty. I think you should try Angry Apple Orchard anyway! It is a perfect beer for the fall and it is a perfect beer to make these cupcakes with. Until the next crazy cupcake invention….PEACE OUT!
Adding Angry Orchard Apple Beer to your cupcakes enhances the flavor of these moist and delicious cupcakes. Topped off with a creamy cream cheese frosting, drizzled in maple syrup, and topped off with pecan pieces makes these cupcakes great for the fall.

These easy camping meal ideas are true to the spirit of good ol’ campfire cooking, but without all the muss and fuss of a lot of work. Everyone wants to enjoy good camp food, but why should you get stuck doing all the cooking?
Kids love these because they get to feel like big kids – making their own food. And camp cooks love them because they are a lot less work than traditional camping meals.
The concept:
An assortment of foods are wrapped in foil and cooked in campfire coals – or on a grate over the coals – or even over charcoal briquettes in a grill. One good feature of these meals is the camp cook can get by with just prepping and laying out the camp food for the meals – then each camper creates, wraps, and cooks their own meal.
The plus:
With just a little adult help, you can let the kids create their own foil packs. And – they are cooked in an open campfire. Just like all good camping meals should be.
How it’s done:
The original foil meal, was a Boy Scout creation that was just; some hamburger, diced potatoes, corn, peas, and carrots, and a little salt & pepper, wrapped into a pack using a double layer of heavy-duty tin-foil.
Note: See a demonstration and video of one Boy Scout method from: Phoenix Boy Scout Troop 109.
Cooking Tips
Ingredients: – per meal
Note: Other vegetables can be added, (or substituted), ie. onions, sweet peppers, or green beans. Fresh is best, but frozen works fine. Tip: 1 tbsp. of Worcestershire sauce really boosts the meat flavor.
Start with a double layer of cabbage leaves, (as shown in video), then the frozen and fresh veggies, followed with the hamburger, followed with the Montreal Steak Seasoning, salt & pepper, (seasoned to taste), and butter. Then complete the package by topping with more cabbage leaves, (as seen in video)
Place completed foil pack on mature coals, (not in or over open flames, or still-flaming coals – the food will burn), for 25-30 minutes.
Tip: A good pair of campfire gloves is almost a must-have for campfire and tin-foil cooking.
Here is a guide to some good choices for campfire cooking gloves.

A campfire cooking grill is one of the handiest, (and least expensive), pieces of camping gear you can have. And it doesn’t have to be a 30-pound cast iron monster either.
A folding grill grate like the pictured Coleman model works great, isn’t too heavy, and takes up very little space. Even when your camp site fire-ring has a grill you will still find yourself using this one too!

I have several favorite purses, several favorite cakes, and many favorite cheeses. So why would I choose one favorite barbecue sauce?
Well, I wouldn't. I love experimenting with different flavors and coming up with different sauces for different dishes.
Chad has been asking for barbecue and I have been loving cooking with Jack Daniels.
So I put the two together and created a fabulously scrumptious barbecue sauce with a deep smoky flavor and a little kick courtesy of the chile pepper paste.
The sauce is perfectly sweet and so good it will be devoured.
What is the measure of a successful sauce? It is good on pulled pork, burgers, chicken, onion rings and fries.
We also found it to be great on nachos and perfect just eaten off a spoon. Do you think we liked it? We LOVE it! What is your favorite thing to put BBQ sauce on?
