The Super Bowl is just around the corner so it’s time for football cake pops. These cake pops would also be the perfect treat for a football-themed birthday bash or a football team party.

Last summer I wanted to make habañero cornbread with the habañeros from our garden. The cornbread itself is moist and cake-like. The garden-fresh habañeros were flavorful and surprisingly not too spicy. Because not everyone likes spicy food, I have included jalapeño peppers in the following recipe. But feel free to substitute canned chiles if you want to tame it down. Or add habañero peppers if you think you are up for the spicy challenge!

Chili con carne (Chili) is Spanish for “chile peppers with meat.” Traditionally, chili is a simple stew made of chile peppers, meat, cumin, garlic and onions. In my variation of chili, I include tomato paste to get the flavor of tomatoes in the broth without the chunks of tomato. I also use pinto and black beans for extra lean protein and fiber. Serve it with warm corn bread and honey.

The following recipe is my family’s take on loaded baked potato skins. The beauty of this appetizer is that you can load them up with whatever you would like: cheese, bacon, sour cream, salsa, chili, guacamole, you name it. It is also a meal where the whole family can get involved. Everyone can “load” their own potato skins.

This layered bean dip is always a crowd-pleaser at parties. At its most basic it is a 5-layer dip but it can easily become a 7-layer dip if you add multiple toppings with the cheese.

These asian-inspired meatballs served with sweet & sour sauce are a tasty treat, especially when served over rice. They are a perfect appetizer for a party because they can finish cooking in a slow-cooker while you focus on other elements of the party.

This cornbread has an intense corn flavor and a coarse texture. I like to make cornbread muffins but you can also bake it in a cake pan.
