Cheese!!! I must admit I am quite happy with the outcome of this poll. This baby is apparently a cheese lover too.
I'm first going to give you several ideas for your Super Bowl party. These are great and very easy for any level of cook to make.

Day 1 - Tiny Turkey Taco Salad Scoops
1 bag tortilla chips shaped like little salad bowls or scoops
1 lb. ground turkey
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup corn
1 cup black beans
Cook turkey according to package directions. Add corn and beans and cook until hot. Put tortillas on cookie sheet and top with turkey mixture. Top with lots of your favorite type of cheese. Broil until cheese is melted. Top with tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole. Enjoy!
Day 2 - Xtreme Grilled Cheese
I make these on whole wheat bread to lessen the guilt factor. Top sliced bread with your favorite sliced cheese, slices of fruit (apples, pears, or plums), meat of your choice if desired, and a condiment of your choice. I would try jam, jelly, mayo, or mustard. Slather butter on outside of bread and grill as usual. You could use a panini press if you have one but a regular skillet works just fine. Serve with veggies or chips.
Day 3 - Three Cheese and Spinach Lasagna
This is adapted from allrecipes.com to shorten prep work.
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (32 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 cups water
2 cups low fat ricotta cheese
1 (8 ounce) package part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg
1 package no-boil lasagna noodles
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large pot over medium heat saute spinach, onion, oregano, basil and garlic in the olive oil. Pour in spaghetti sauce and water; simmer until hot. In a large bowl mix cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, pepper and egg.
Place a small amount of sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place one layer of noodles on top of sauce and top with layer of sauce. Add 4 more noodles and layer with 1/2 sauce and 1/2 cheese mixture, noodles and repeat until all is layered, finishing with sauce.
Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven for 55 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
Day 4 - Broccoli Cheese Cream Soup
1 head fresh broccoli
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons minced onion
1 stalk celery with leaves, chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 cubes chicken bouillon or better than bouillon paste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 pinches paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or cheese of your choice
Place broccoli in a medium saucepan with water to cover, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, 15 minutes. Remove broccoli to a plate and reserve cooking water in bowl.
In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onions and celery in butter until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in flour, milk and cream. Dissolve bouillon in 2 cups reserved broccoli water. Stir into soup. Season with Worcestershire, paprika and salt. Use an immersion blender to cream some of the soup. Stir in cheese and cook 10 minutes more.
I hope this gives you a great start to an even better week. I know I'm excited about the game and the possibility of snow. Keep warm.
With love and lots of cheese,
Brooke
