I'll post a pic of my Cincinnati chili soon, but I also made Flautas and my wife made Cheesecake and Chocolate Mousse, as I mentioned in the other thread.
I'll post pics later on of everything. Second time making Skyline's recipe (save for the method of cooking the meat; stupid and pointless extra work, for meat that doesn't taste as good nor is it as tender) and it came out better, but a touch too spicy (for my wife; for me it was bomb).

To get the kids to not complain about eating at the table I started doing "dip chicken" night. Basically it's just chicken (fried, grilled, whatever) chopped up bite size and bite size vegetables. Then 5-6 different sauces in the center of the table. Yum sauce, teriyaki, soy, something hot, sweet and sour, honey mustard.
Good way to spend some time together.

I grew up eating potato cakes. I usually make mine by taking the potatoes, adding an egg or two, some garlic and salt, cheddar or Parmesan cheese. Add some chopped up ham or bacon bits.

In the mini crock, cocktail sausages with bbq sauce. On the platter, summer sausage, cheeses and crackers. (we have a local grocery store deli that has some fantastic varieties of summer sausage) The obligatory chips and salsa, and I've got a couple dozen Caribbean jerk wings on pre-order from out favorite pub.
All that, along with an ample supply of alcohol should have me feeling like a water balloon, come time for work in the morning.
Man, we must have had the same idea....lol. I did a chili cheese nacho dip with diced maters and green chiles, and we had wings, but were honey BBQ for the kiddies. Wife made a cheese ball with green onions and dried beef, got a couple pounds of shrimp for shrimp cocktail. Nothin fancy this year.

Sides will be mashed potatoes with gravy, asparagus, applesauce, dinner rolls and Caesar salad. For appetizers shrimp cocktail and cantaloupe wrapped with prosciutto. Snacks during the game chips and salsa, cheese and crackers and a vegetable tray. For desert I have apple pie with vanilla ice cream and a chocolate flan. Beverages, margaritas, a large assortment of beer, and for the designated drivers sparkling cider.
Monday breakfast for the guests that crash at my place, bacon, eggs, corned beef hash, toast, fruit salad, an assortment of fruit juice, Bloody Marys and mimosas.
I made that for the first time last weekend. Damn that stuff is good! :andy:

My grandmother made "tater cakes" all of the time. Love them, but rarely eat potatoes anymore.

Mississppi Pot Roast is a can't miss option. It's impossible for it not to turn out awesome.
My dinner tonight was marinated sirloin burritos with white queso, pintos, chili lime rice, salsa rojo, and some veggies. Pretty dang good.
It really is. I have been missing out all of these years, but I won't anymore! I have found a couple of other pot roast recipes I am going to try soon.

Same here.....but never with those ingredients. That sounds delicious. The next time we make them, I am going to try that out.

Didn't get a chance to try it this time around but thanks for the idea. Will give it a go next time.

Yep, and it very easy to make. I use unsalted butter though as it can be a bit salty with normal butter. I'm thinking next time I might try it with a beef brisket instead of chuck roast and maybe add a few cloves of garlic as well.
Reading over this thread it seems everyone here had some great meals. I hope everyone enjoyed it and had fun during the Super Bowl.

I added garlic and Montreal steak seasoning to mine on a hunch. I really thought it added nicely to the recipe. I agree, unsalted butter next time, and a tad more pepper.

I was thinking Montreal seasoning would be a nice addition as well but I'm not a great cook so didn't want to stray off tried and true recipe that has served me well. I have cooked flank steak marinated in Montreal seasoning and enjoyed it. I bet if the roast was marinated in Montreal for a few hours and then about a quarter of the ranch and au jus gravy mix it would be tasty. All those seasonings have a ton of salt so after marinating in Montreal using less of the other should help.
Wife wanted to try a recipe last weekend so I made it. This weekend we made again because it’s just darn good. It’s a corn tomato salad. I was skeptical at first, but dang it was delicious.

I make a fresh corn, black bean, and tomato salad that I like a lot.
I didn’t put that much basil in. I put about 1/4 cup to where it really made the dish look more picturesque. Turned out great. Plus, 1.5 cups sounded like overkill.

Just tried this today and it was delicious. I did not use near as much basil. I ate it as soon as I made it. I bet it will taste even better after sitting in the fridge a while.

Yes it will, trust me.
And today I am grilling marinated chicken breast (in the rain) with macaroni salad, corn on the cob and baked means for my wife. Unfortunately she’s at the school working today, but will be a nice treat when she gets home.
