Now whether you’re a Packers, Steelers… or die-hard Saints fan like me, who just wants to put on your Brees jersey and watch a repeat of last year’s game, one thing is for certain: there will be snackage at your Super Bowl party.  In South Louisiana we spend all day cooking a rich meal (we don’t call this gumbo weather for nothin’) while socializing with friends in anticipation of the game.  Understandably, this all-day cooking affair and taunting aroma of roux in a pot has kicked your appetite into high gear. A great, easy snack to prepare for your guests (or take to a party if you’re letting someone else do the cooking) is our Touchdown Trail Mix — it’s sweet with a little bit of heat and a much appreciated change up from the overplayed bag ‘O chips.

Norm and Lyman were here before 6 this morning to fire up the pit.

By the time most of us got to work at 8 am, we were greeted with the wonderful smell of chicken on the grill. (I bet you wish you had a scratch and sniff monitor right about now!)

At 11:00 everything was ready and we started fixing our plates. We have all of the good stuff: barbecued chicken and sausage, creole mashed potatoes (recipe below), baked beans, salad, and garlic bread.

And the day wouldn’t be complete without some ice cream!

Now for Creole Mashed Potatoes seasoned with Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning.

This is a very simple and tasty recipe that will wow your family. You can make as much or as little as you need and add all of the extras to taste.

Start by making your preferred brand of instant mashed potatoes as directed on the box, just omit the salt. Now add as much or as little as you would like of the following:

• Sour Cream
• Bacon bits
• Swiss Cheese
• Onion tops
• Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning
• Mix well and enjoy!

I hope you all have a very safe and happy Independence Day and just want to close with a few words from the great men who fought so hard to make this a free country:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” — The Declaration of Independence
