Another win!!!

I won yet another houseparty from www.houseparty.com On Sunday, February 1, 2009 I will be hosting a Velveeta Superbowl party at my house. This years Superbowl is between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals. I, honestly, do not like either team. I am a Jets fan, though if I had to pick a team for this game I would choose Cardinals, only because my late mother-in-law LOVED Cardinals (the birds NOT football team).

As a hostess of this party, I received my party package last week which included chip clips and plastic containers to hold your Velveeta cheese in (for future purchases), together with recipes and $1.00 off coupons for future purchases of Velveeta cheese AND Ro-Tel tomatoes. The items mentioned I will be giving to my guests free for coming to my party - yes, an incentive to come over (lol). I ALSO received 3 bags of Nabisco chips, 1 large block of Velveeta cheese and 1 can of Ro-tel tomatoes to make a dip, 1 bowl to hold the dip in, and etch-a-sketch cups for everyone to put their names on so they don’t misplace them. Hmm, am I missing anything else??? Nope, that’s it!

I am very excited about winning, though not too excited about the goodies. I thought maybe they would have sent some more cheese to make more dips with. Don’t get me wrong, I am extremely appreciative of what I did get, and am able to share with my friends. What I am disappointed about is the fact that I had no intention of having a huge party (which I am now), and I have to make tons of hor deurves for my guests, which right now, in this economy is going to cost a pretty penny. Hmmm, what do I have in my cabinets? My husband would say nothing, but my friends would beg to differ. They would definitely say there is something in there to eat - moreso than not!

So, here is my menu for this Velveeta Superbowl party. I can honestly say this is going to probably be the only superbowl party without wings!!!

Pulled pork sandwiches (cooked the day before in the crock pot);
Mini slider sandwiches (mini hamburgers) (made the day before and cooked during the party);
Hot dogs (kids are coming, so this is perfect for them), which will be cooked during the party);
Veggie platter;
Tons of dips for chips, veggies, crackers, etc..
Homemade Guacamole;
Homemade Spinach & Artichoke dip;
Cheese & Pepperoni tray;

I will let you know how it turns out after the party.
