Superbowl Menu

To be honest, I couldn't care less about football. However, my husband's family eats, breathes and lives football. Sunday Dinner is no longer Sunday Dinner during football season. Instead, it's become everyone crowd around the television and scream at the men who run across the screen while trying to inhale delivery pizza and throw back beers.

The most amusing part of this obsession with football, particularly with this year's Superbowl lineup, is my mother-in-law and brother-in-law are diehard Giants Fans, while the rest of the Shannon clan are diehard Pats fans... And I don't mean the polite, root for your own team and be a good sport kinda fans. I'm talking the get-in-your-face, screaming and gloating kinda fans.

The night of the Pats/Giants respective play-off games I thought an all-out brawl was going to happen.

Somehow through it all, my husband and I ended up volunteering to host a Superbowl party for his friends. This is a bonus for both of us. Jon loves parties and his friends. I love cooking and baking.

Here's a run down of my current menu plan, including some great frugal finds I picked up over the last few weeks.

2 Helluva Good onion dips (clearanced for $.75 each and I had a $1/2 coupon) = $.25 ea!
-I will use one of the dips with chips
-I will use the other dip with this super yummy Beer Bread

1 Athenos Roasted Garlic hummus (clearanced to $.99)
-I will use these with baby carrots and celery sticks (I got a 2 lb bag of baby carrots for $.50 and a package of celery for $.50, both on clearance at Shaws)

1 Paresan Artichoke Jalapeno Dip
-I will use this with chips

3 bags of Wise Chips - at one point these were buy 1, get 2 free!

2 bags of Perdue boneless wings (I paid a ridiculous $5.99/bag, but my husband begged for these)

Nachos
-I found Perdue ground chicken for $2.99 and it had a $1.50 sticker, so I paid $1.49 for a pound!)
-I turn the ground chicken into sloppy joe/sloppy janes, then toss it on top of tortilla chips, throw some cheese and salsa on top and voila! (I got the salsa for only $1!)

Pepperoni Stromboli


And I plan on doing more, but my husband's not home to finalize our menu!

Best Memories Tend to be Free!

So a few weeks ago, I mentioned that Warren area residents could attend Frerich's Farm's annual Pumpkinpalooza...

Well, my fiance, Jon, and I managed to get over there for an hour or so and ran into his cousin, her husband and our niece. Jon likes to joke sometimes that I have more fun at places like that than the kids... he also jokes he doesn't need his own kids when he has me!

Here are some fun photos of our trip to Pumpkinpalooza... and the best part is the trip didn't cost us a penny!! (except I bought pumpkins for our furry "family" and our stinky pup ate the kitten's pumpkin within 30 seconds of putting it down when we got home!)

 Amazing pumkin carving!

 My soon-to-be hubby! He refused to let me wander through the corn maze more than once :-(

 The oddest looking gourd/squash I have EVER seen in my life!

 Can you believe the title of largest/heaviest pumpkin is held by a Rhode Island resident? It was weighed a few years ago at Frerich's Farm's Pumpkinpalooza!

 Hehe... We joke that every picture we have of ourselves is taken at that awkward "Myspace" angle

Pumpkin Palooza/Festival for Warren-area residents

Looking for something fun yet inexpensive to do with the family this weekend? I've got just the thing for you!

Frerichs Farm's Annual Pumpkin Palooza/Festival is this Saturday, October 9th from 9am - 5pm.

Admission is absolutely FREE! But if you want to park your car on their premises, it'll cost you $5, so I suggest parking down the street and enjoy the short stroll to the farm.

There will be a pumpkin drop at 11:30am and a weigh-off starting at noon. Since 2000 Frerichs Farm has hosted the Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Grower’s Annual Weigh-off on Columbus Day Weekend. 

Food and beverages will be available for purchase, and here are some other activities available to peruse while there!

Play in the Hay!

Free
After years of feeling bad whenever we had to tell the children they couldn't play in our stacks of hay, we've figure out a way for them to climb all around in it and go crazy. They can even try to find the "needle" in the hay stack!

 

Magic Pumpkin Coach

$1 per person
Take a ride around the farm, courtesy of our magic pumpkin coach!

Snap the Dragon

$1 per person
If dragons are more your style, let Snap cruise you around the farm!

 Western Town

Free
Have a grand time panning for farmers gold, going to jail, hanging your hat in the saloon and then stop to rob the bank -- in any order you prefer.

Corn Maze

Free
The corn maze is fantastic this year...pop in and get lost!

Make Your Own Scarecrow

$8 per scarecrow
Our Scarecrow Factory is popular with all ages! We supply the hay and little items to create the body -- just bring some old clothes, crazy hats or whatever else your imagination and back of your closets can conjure up.

 

Pumpkin Painting

$3 per pumpkin -- includes pumpkin and access to all supplies neede
Come, sit around the table and paint your pumpkin how you please -- scary face, happy face, no face but a pretty fall scene. You're limited only by your imagination (and your artistic ability).

 

Charlie Brown's Pumpkin Patch

Free
Take your picture with Charlie Brown and his friends as you stroll through the patch to find that perfect pumpkin. This year we also have a new addition to the pumpkin patch -- "How tall this fall?" Measure your child's height against an 8-foot pumpkin!
