On the Menu: Super Bowl edition


We spent some time today prepping food for tomorrow's Super Bowl food fest. We're excited to have a few friends over to watch the game, make prop bets, laugh at commercials and, most importantly, eat tasty food. 

We're trying out a few new recipes for the occasion. The recipe for the soft pretzels was a Pinterest find, and beer-braised carnitas were featured in this month's Bon Appetit. Today, Jonathan cooked the pork in the slow cooker to get a head start on the nachos for tomorrow. 


(We're enjoying playing around with Twitter's new video app, Vine. The app lets you shoot a short video—6 seconds—continuously or out of various shorter clips . It seems like it could be a cool tool for cooking tutorials.)

I also made the dough for the pretzels and formed them to freeze overnight. Oh, how I hope they turn out tasty because you know how much we love a good soft pretzel!

Happy game-watching, everyone! May the best team win and may Beyonce sing beautifully.
