Super (Bowl) Chicken & Black Bean Nachos
Pop this Super Bowl chicken nachos recipe in the oven during the pregame show, and let me know how much is left (if any) when halftime rolls around.
Tom Collins
This classic Tom Collins cocktail is an easy-to-make refresher. A pared-down garnish of a lemon wheel and cherry keeps the focus on the citrusy gin.
The Perfect Negroni
This Perfect Negroni recipe is a classic Italian cocktail worth knowing. The Negroni's ingredients are gin, Campari, and vermouth—but its flavor is complex.

Devils on Hatchback
I get more requests for my Devils on Horseback than any other snack time party food that I make; and mine, I'm sure, are just like everyone elses: dates stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon, baked til they are crispy as a critter. This is my variation on that classic bite. I use roasted Hatch Green Chiles ('round these parts, Hatch Chiles are gold) and cream cheese to accompany the bacon. The mild spiciness of the pepper is a lovely compliment to the saltiness of the bacon and the sweetness of the cheese (and the honey that I drizzle on towards the end). Cambozola (a German brie-style blue cheese) or any semi firm cheese that you like would be a lovely alternative, but I like to use cream cheese because it is a crowd pleaser. And just between you and me, I just watched a certain citrus-fruit sister eat twelve. And they came out of the oven four minutes ago. - Helenthenanny
