I’m thinking of having a small superbowl party here next month. What I want is some snacks that aren’t too messy. I am going to have tortillas and dips, but what brand do you recommend? Also, what other foods would be good and not take all day to make? thanks. ---

Chicken wings, large Italian-style meatballs, nachos. You can make the meatballs in advance. The nachos can be as simple or complicated as you please. Corn chips, top with grated cheese, jalapenos, olives, seasoned ground beef, sour cream, etc. Microwave on a plate for about 1 minute. ---

I almost always make deviled eggs for a party, they always go over well. Lately, I’ve also been partial to the frozen soft pretzels, 5 minutes in the oven is all they take. ---

Vegetable tray with dip and shrimp cocktail, neither are messier than tortilla chips and dip and they’re dead easy to fix. ---

Corn chips, top with grated cheese, jalapenos, olives, seasoned ground beef, sour cream, etc. Microwave on a plate for about 1 minute. How do you keep the chips from getting soggy in the microwave? ---

In a small crockpot, put a jar of Cheez Whiz, a can of condensed onion soup, and a jar of salsa. Mix and warm. Heaven! ---
