We don't have too much time to plan - or is everyone ready with the menus already?? Let's have this a sticky until the game, shall we???

Oh dear, I hope I am not working at the winery that day! They are having their annual wine and chocolate tasting event that weekend (and the next). I have been craving cheese steaks for some time now, they may make it onto my menu. Making it a stickie is a brilliant idea Jean! You must be the keeper of the brain today.

"Making it a stickie is a brilliant idea Jean! You must be the keeper of the brain today." Ditto! This one and the dinner review.
I'll have to give this some thought. I KNOW that if I don't get to the Caesar Nachos before then, they will be on the menu. I'm thinking about pizzas, but I have no idea which we will choose. I'll probably spend Saturday prepping everything, including the breakfast casseroles for Sunday morning. That way I'll be able to take a nap so I'll be able to enjoy (read: stay awake for) the game. And after these two Snow Day make up weeks, I'm thinking a Monday off may be in order by then. Yea, I like the sound of THAT!

Split the difference: ditch the flour tortillas, cut back on the Parmesan, add shredded Mozzarella and reconstruct the nachos as a chicken-Caesar pizza! Do use the dressing from the nacho recipe, though: it will be perfect. I've made chicken-Caesar pizzas, and they are wonderful.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

No, I will keep the nachos pure for a review. But I have been meaning to do a salad style pizza. So if I do the nachos beforehand, I WILL be doing a Caesar on a pizza! Rest assured!
Now to decide what pizza to serve it on? To do a Mike's Mountain Chicken with a Caesar topper or something else? HMMMMMM? Then there's that Crab Pizza...... There will be a decision soon. I doubt I'll make it, but wouldn't it be cool!!!
Maybe I'll celebrate what may be and have both!

Well, here's my contribution for the Super Bowl. It's a recipe I had originally created for a contest, but never actually entered due to other things that came up here at the time. This turned out VERY well, and I would make it again. Jalapeño BeerburgersMakes 4Ingredients:- 1 1/2 Lbs. Ground chuck
- 1 Can (12 Oz.) Beer (probably better flavour if it is NOT a "lite" beer)
- 4 Medium Jalapeño peppers, very finely diced (brunoise)
- 2 Tsp. Garlic powder
- 1 Tsp. Salt
- 1 Tsp. Pepper
- 4 Slices Red onion, 1/4" thick
- 4 Slices Provolone cheese (not too thin or thick)
- 4 Kaiser rolls
- 4 Slices Tomato, 1/4" thick
- Lettuce, as needed
- Ketchup, as needed
Instructions:
- Thoroughly mix the jalapeños, garlic powder, salt and pepper into the ground chuck.
- Divide the ground chuck into 4 patties of 6 ounces each.
- Place the patties into a dish deep enough to hold the patties and the beer but shallow enough to be able to remove the patties easily.
- Add the beer.
- Marinate for 30 minutes.
- Flip the patties.
- Marinate 30 minutes more.
- Grill the burgers and onions until almost to desired doneness.
- Cover each burger with a slice of Provolone.
- Finish grilling the burgers and onions until they are done and the cheese is melted.
- Serve each burger on a kaiser roll with a slice of the grilled red onion, a slice of tomato, some lettuce and some ketchup.

"chicken-Caesar pizza!" - I was going to say, "it's in the book" ![](/ssl_proxy.php?url=/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif) Beat me to it, Daphne. I found a pizza round in the freezer and we haven't had pizza since we left home (about the longest we've gone without for years!! ![](/ssl_proxy.php?url=/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif) ), so will work it in somewhere. But, that's another thread.

Jean, that is one of my favorite pizzas from "The Book" so far! I LOVE the flavors! But I think I'm going to play with it a little and use the creamy Caesar dressing on the pizza instead of the Ranch and work from there. Whatcha think? Have I ever told you that "Pizza, Pizza, Pizza" is my favorite of your cookbooks? I just LOVE everything about that little thing. The layout and size were just "JEANIOUS"!

thank you for the kind words - as it says in the beginning of the book, just play with the recipes, use them as a starting point and then let the author know all the new goodies.

We don't have a superbowl, but it we did I would make a million club (NZ) sandwiches, day before. The clubs we make here are different from the US ones. We get 21 out of 1 standard loaf, and its the easiet bread to use. depending on fillings it is a good choice for large numbers of people you wish to enchant without taking out a mortgage.
