Vegan Appetizers for Super Bowl 2018!
Vegan Appetizers for Super Bowl 2018! This will be my 3rd year posting Super Bowl apps. In the past, they’ve been both veg and vegan. This year, they’re solely vegan! (Like me) 😉 Now, I’d be totally lying to you if I said that I knew shit about football. I’d also like to state that I was in the marching band in HS. Still, I know nothing. To be fair, we had the WORST football team on Long Island. We excelled only in soccer and lacrosse. However, our marching band was the best on the island. Aahhh… memories… me and my lil’ clarinet, band clinic, hat & plume, a uniform that didn’t fit well, crushes on virtually all jazz musicians, scavenger hunts, Hofstra performances etc… good times. I digress (as usual), in that trip down memory lane, I should’ve included: football games. I’ve always wanted to be into football. My husband and I used to chat about coming back to live in the US and becoming huge football fans. Bringing our kiddo to the games, wearing jerseys, having people over to watch the Super Bowl etc. So far, none of this has happened. I LOVE the comradery that football fans have with one another. I envy my friends who all get together to watch games, drink, and eat. It sounds amazing! This year, I’ve purchased a Nerf football and I am adamant that I will toss this with my wee man, paint black lines under our eyes, eat game time appetizers, and shout things like “Blitz!,” “Get rid of the ball!,” “RUNNNN!!!” All whilst not having a f#$%ing clue as to what I’m sayin’, ya know?! Anyway, it seems fun and better than simply watching it for the commercials and the halftime show (which often blows). Okay, done with my stories. Enjoy the Vegan Appetizers for Super Bowl 2018! Game time! “Go ___________!”

Bruschetta (Use a vegan parm or nooch)!
Vegan Party Platter
Vegan Party Platter… where to begin. I make one every time I have a party, a playgroup, or a gathering of any kind of vibe. Now, I have no idea why it’s never occurred to me that I should properly photograph these beauts! This fabulous spread deserves professional pics. Alas, crappy light = crappy pics, and my computer with Photoshop is currently outta commission. Sigh… Anyway, back to the Vegan Party Platter. It is incredibly easy, delicious, and healthy! I usually use what you see here and pending on my mood, may throw in a few other gems. I always serve a hummus, in this case a sun-dried tomato hummus, veggies, various dipping/spread worthy chips, tapenade or whole olives, roasted red peppers, nuts and dried fruit (in this pic, apricots), a small crock pot with a warm Mexican bean dip (not shown), and cheeses. Now that I’m vegan, I’ve been trying my hand at homemade cheese. The white one in this pic is Miyoko’s Double Chive… amazing! The one on the left is my very own. 🙂 Over the summer, my garden overflows with tomatoes and hot peppers so I usually serve a homemade salsa or pico de gallo right along side some delicious guacamole. I tried making my own tortilla chips this past summer but definitely didn’t enjoy them as much as some of the incredible store bought ones. Oh well!
For drinks, I always have 3 staples and a 4th that I decide pending on the season, and of course, my mood or the type of gathering being had. I always have a sangria (changing upon the season), a water with fresh sliced lemon and fresh sliced ginger, and a water with fresh mint and fresh sliced strawberries. The waters are uber refreshing and always a crowd pleaser!
