I feel about as comfortable making "game day" food as I do about pulling Udon noodles from scratch, which is to say: not very.
But in anticipation of our cozy game day together this year, I thought it might be fun to make some Super Bowl classics, like foods preceded by the word "buffalo" and dips presented in bread bowls. My children thrilled at the latter. (They passed on the buffalo cauliflower).
This past month, I've tried a number of recipes for spinach-artichoke dip, most of which have been delicious, all of which have called for heaps of mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese, mozzarella, and parmesan.
The version I liked best is based on Martha Stewart's hot crab dip, which calls for sautéing shallots, adding spices, then making a creamy sauce with half and half, cream cheese, and cheddar.
I use this formula here, omitting most of the spices, and using parmesan in place of cheddar. I also use my favorite grilled artichoke hearts from Trader Joe's and fresh baby spinach as opposed to frozen (though I'm sure frozen would work just fine here).
The result? Heaven! Rich but not exceedingly so, the flavors of the artichoke hearts and spinach prevailing.

12+ Favorite Dips
On Super Bowl Sunday last year, I made for the first time this spicy cashew dip, a creamy — no-cream! — purée that can double as a dressing depending on how much water you add. I spent the entire game dipping pickled crudité into it, relishing this new, addictive discovery.
As noted above, this year, I'm going the spinach-artichoke bread-bowl route, and I'll no doubt make homemade ranch, which has become a year-round favorite.
