SUPER BOWL

SUPER BOWL!! 

I'll be honest I didnt even know who was playing til today...oops. My boyfriend asked if I wanted the 49ers or the Panthers to win? I seriously debated in my head, and replied, 49ers! Wrong! Double oops. Anywho, I'm more worried about what to eat?!? This year I'm on a budget, who am I kidding, I'm always on a budget. So, what to make without making much of an impact on my wallet? Phil suggested buffalo chicken dip.

I already had the canned chicken, Shnucks had ranch $1.00 a bottle when you buy 4, oh yeah you better believe I bought 4! This family loves ranch:) Shredded cheese, 2 packs of cream cheese, and franks hot sauce. Franks is by far the best hot sauce. Oh, and don't forget the chips and celery for dipping. This cost me around $15. Not too shabby. This is so easy too!

This is cheap, quick, and easy=perfect
Drain chicken (2 10 ounce cans)
Place chicken and hot sauce in saucepan, medium heat (3/4 cup)
Heat and mix well
Add ranch and cream cheese (1 cup)
Heat and mix well
Add cheese  (1 1/2 cup)
Heat and mix well
I let mine cool, then placed in tupperware

This was so quick and easy I decided to make cupcakes and jello
Cupcakes like these cost about $16 at Shnucks
I already had a box of devils food cake mix, frosting, green food coloring, and these cute sugar footballs from another cupcake project. 
Which made these kinda free!! 

Use frosting tip 2D 
Deorating bag, or even a ziploc

Add powered sugar to thicken the frosting, this will make it hold its shape better. Then add green food coloring.
Start on the outer border, angle in, then frost in a circle towards the middle, smaller and smaller.
Then add cute topping!!
They were a huge huge hit! The only pic I took before my battery died, unfortunately I forgot my charger.
I also tried a football jello mold, when I tried to pop em out they fell apart. If anyone has suggestions for that I'd love to hear em!

Hope everyone had a fun and safe super bowl!!
