0 Who’s got time to scroll through loads of pins or mull through recipe websites when all you want to do is watch the big game? Whether you’re hosting a large gathering with friends or family, planning an afternoon for two, or making it a solo event, we’ve done most of the legwork for you. At least where food and beverages are concerned.
Below are 11 Super Bowl snack and drink ideas to put on this year’s menu. Bonus: we’ve kept everything on the healthy side for you.
You can’t go wrong with fresh cucumbers, sour cream and herbs. Feel free to keep or toss the bacon depending on your preferences.
Buffalo Cauliflower Bites w. Yogurt Gorgonzola Dip
It’s like Buffalo wings, minus the guilt part.
This one sounds decadent, but each “cupcake” has beans and veggies and is petite sized to prevent over-indulging.
Warm up with a bowl of delicious, satisfying chili. The turkey makes for lower fat content, but it’s just as tasty.
These take all of five minutes to prep and are as healthy as they are delicious.
We love this one because you can really customize it. For example, you can keep it veggie or fruit heavy if you want to lean more healthy. Oh, and this one’s great if you have a lot of company.
No party is complete without some deviled eggs. Make ’em into mini footballs and they’ll fit right in with everything else!
OK, so a cocktail is a little bit of an indulgence, but you’ve got to have a beverage at a Super Bowl party. This one has green apple soda, vodka, and blue curacao, making it ideal for Seahawks fans.
Prefer the Patriots? Opt for this Patriots cocktail idea instead. You’ll need grenadine, cranberry juice, vodka, blue curacao, and Sierra Mist Natural.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Footballs
Everyone needs a little dessert. Use dark chocolate for these and enjoy.
Fresh fruit in the shape of a helmet? Yes, please.

Oh yes, baby! There’s romance in the air, and it’s between your TV and social media stream. It’s no surprise that, in general, the way of TV-watching has changed drastically with the influx and success of social media.
Take, for example, Oreo’s quick-thinking ad that aired during the Super Bowl blackout. If you watched the Super Bowl or participate in Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or other social media outlets, you probably know the one I’m talking about. Somehow, the folks at Oreo aired a remarkably timely image of an Oreo cookie with the script, “You can still dunk in the dark.”
The ad went viral instantly.
It helped that the commercial aired on one of the only days people tune in specifically for the advertisements, but the blackout-inspired ad’s popularity skyrocketed mostly in part to the social media frenzy that followed it. In fact, Oreo’s cheeky advertisement received over 15,000 tweets, 20,000 Facebook “likes” and the company gained tens of thousands of new Instagram followers.
The trend could work the other way around. For example, remember the 2012 presidential debate in which Sesame Street’s Big Bird went viral on Twitter and other social media? All it took was a five second comment by Mitt Romney on cutting funding and the whole Internet was abuzz. In fact (for better or worse), it distracted from some of the more important points of that debate.
Another example: I know that if there’s a big season premiere or a highly anticipated award show (like the Oscars!), I can sign onto Facebook or Twitter and read a slew of real-time talk and feedback as the show’s actually airing. Even more, the celebrities involved in these very events participate in the real-time social media scene themselves. Take Sophia Vergara tweeting about her wardrobe malfunction last year, for example.
In anticipation of the big night, Twitter reminds us in a blog post that “As the audience in the Dolby Theatre claps, laughs, and cries, so do the viewers at home. Watching along with Twitter, you can have the best of both worlds: get insider access from stars who know the Oscars best, and join fellow film fans in a global viewing party.”
If you want to watch the #Oscars with stars and need the handles to participate in the conversation check out their post http://blog.twitter.com/2013/
