I blogged some of my favorite SuperBowl snacks last year when I was writing for Slashfood, and so this week, I thought I'd do the same here on FamilyFood.
There's nothing like a SuperBowl party. I'm definitely a nosher, so having a wide variety of snacks on hand is like my idea of heaven. And, Ruffles.
It has been said that more avocados are consumed during SuperBowl weekend that at any other time during the year. Not sure if it's true, but it sounds good to me. So, without further ado, here are some of my favorite avocado recipes.
- Avocado Paté with Parsley and Pistachios. I will definitely be making this this weekend. In fact, I'm thinking of doing a trio of molded dips/salads (Chicken Liver Pate, Tomato Aspic, and the Avocado Paté) because I have some fancy gelatin on hand that my sister brought me from Italy.
- Guacamole my way. I admit, I am pretty proud of my guacamole. Or "rockamole" as my daughter calls it.
- Chilled Avocado Soup. Yes, it's a cold soup and it might be freezing where you are, but it's hot in Hawaii!
yumm! i love avocados and they are great here. but tomato aspic...i think my stomach died...after culinary school and having to make the "classics" i never wanted to make it again...thankfully after years of working in high end resturants i never had to!
you have some willing customers on your hand!!!!

Thanks for the good guacamole recipe. Though I frequently just whip up a little guac for my wife and myself, going to a party I was a little nervous to get it "right," and a Mexican cookbook's recipe was ridiculously complicated. This was easy to make and very tasty. It got a lot of compliments on the fresh flavor.
