Super Bowl Funday

A week later, here's a recap of our Super Bowl party. Don't remember who played, as I was much more concerned about the food and seeing friends! I was in Knoxville for the weekend for a wedding of a college friend, so everyone who was in town got together for the Super Bowl!

Sunday afternoon Clarissa and I got Mountain Dew Icees and played in the kitchen. I was indecisive of what to make, therefore we made a little of everything!

Our ingredients to start!
1) Spicy Asian Meatballs courtesy of my friend Megan
     
      Recipe found here




 
      After baking, I put mine in the crock pot and covered with sauce on warm settings.
 

 
 
2) Southwestern Egg Rolls
 
Filling
- 2 C frozen corn, thawed
- 1 15oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 9oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 2 C shredded Mexican cheese
- 1 7oz can diced green chiles, drained
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
 
Preheat oven to 425*. Mix corn, beans, spinach, cheese, chiles, onions, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper in large bowl. Scoop a small amount of filling onto wrapper and roll starting at the corner. Tuck two sides in as you go along (like they wrap sandwiches at Subway). Dab water on the edges to seal egg roll and place seal side down on greased baking sheet.
 
 
 
 
Bake for 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through baking.
** I started with spring roll wrappers- then realized I didn't have enough. So we improvised and made our own egg roll wrappers- best move of the night!
    Homemade Egg Roll Wrappers
 
    - 2 C flour
    - 1 tsp salt
    - 1 egg
    - less than 1/2 C cold water
    - worn starch
 
Mix together in a bowl, slowly adding water until dough is no longer crumbly and barely sticky. Let dough sit for 20 minutes. Divide into golf ball size peices. Roll out til they are thin enough to see through.

 

 

 




 
That's all I have time to post today- to be continued!
