Our new neighbors hosted a few of us for the Super Bowl tonight. I knew that I wanted to bring dessert! What do you think? Cute, eh?
Dan bent one of my tin cookie cutters into the shape of a football. I baked a batch of brownies in a 13 x 9 pan and when it was cool, I popped it out of the pan in one piece and placed the sheet of brownies on a wood cutting board. Then I carefully used the cookie cutter to cut out footballs. I then used Wilton white cookie icing to pipe on the laces.
I placed the brownie footballs on my favorite tray, a replica of a football stadium! I found a similar one online if you want to order one for yourself. Remember, cute is forever. I've been using my tray for years and it is a hit every time.
Go Team!

I know what I want in a Summer appetizer recipe. I want something:
- that tastes delicious
- that looks beautiful
- that is easy to make
- that no one has ever tried before
I created these appetizer skewers for a "Cuban theme" party a few years ago and they were devoured on the spot! I have relied on them for "parties on the deck" ever since. Trust me, the flavors are delicious together.
Mango & Mint skewers
1 jar (24 oz) of Del Monte mango
1 container of fresh mozzarella balls
1 package (8 oz) hard salami
fresh mint leaves
wooden skewers
Cut each mango section into chunks.
Cut each mozzarella ball in half.
Cut 2 long strips of salami (about an inch wide) from each slice.
Wash mint leaves.
Thread one end of salami strip onto skewer, then thread on mango, mozzarella, one mint leaf and then finish by threading on the other end of salami strip. Chill until serving.
