I made tuna rolls and also some sushi with avacado and cucumber. Sushi makes good snack food, I say! Now only if my Bears hadn't been knocked out of the playoffs, I'd be too busy getting emotionally ready for the game to worry about food.

One of my favorites is Pesto Pizza Pinwheels. They're super easy to make and are absolutely delicious. http://trulytastefullytara.blogspot.com/2011/02/super-bowl-of-snacks.html

once again it's time to sit on their collective behinds, drinking more than they should, eating things that they shouldn't, just a lot more of them. It's no wonder our healthcare system is full of sick people with diseases brought on by junk food.

The best onion dip for me is still good ole Lipton's onion soup with sour cream, with a healthy dashes of Tabasco and Worchestershire.

Usually I'm pretty good, but every now and then....And yes, I do refuse to eat tofu :) I have made my famous avocado/garlic dip today, as well as the Lipton dip. Happy sunday!

I hope not to be ungracious but the food photos don't look very appetizing to me. The plate of tacos that comments were closed to looked like somebody upchucked it.
