With the first Super Bowl event this Sunday at home, large sports gatherings are quite different for 2021. I had fun in the kitchen learning and creating tasty GameDay Bite-Size treats and snacks that are simple and affordable. The snacks are Zucchini Bite-Size Balls with Southern Creole Dipping Sauce and Wonton Taco Cups. The treats are Mini Silk Chocolate Apple and Walnut Pies.

Before adding chopped bell peppers to the wonton cups, I recommend sautéing first. One half is topped with the bell-peppers and the other half is sprinkled with parmesan cheese. Lightly brush the edges of the wonton cups with melted unsalted butter. Bake for 15 minutes.

AIR FRY Chicken Wings 2 ways

Stop waiting, just purchase an Air Fry below! An Air Fry is essentially a small/medium countertop convention oven designed to simulate deep frying. A fan circulates hot air at high speed, producing a crisp layer via browning the food thus resulting in tasty savoury and sweet food. There are several brands that have an Air Fry, the one used for this recipe is a NUWAVE Jumbo Size 10-qt Digital Air Fryer from Bed Bath & Beyond (must purchase in-store). Cooked Chicken Wings TWO WAYS with the NUWAVE. One in a buttermilk batter and the other in Panko bread crumbs. Definitely prefer the Buttermilk Chicken Wings over the Panko bread crumbs. The layer of crispness and flavor was more prevalent in the buttermilk batter in comparison to the Panko bread crumbs.

BBQ & Grillin’

Summer is a great time to have a BBQ & Grillin’ experience in your backyard in the midst of Covid-19. If you’re the Grill Master, it’s best to wake up early in the morning to set up and get your charcoals started. It is critical to establish a placement of your charcoals by dividing the grill into three sections: hot, warm and cool. You must continue to rotate the food on the grill so it does not BURN. With over 3 years of experience, along with being taught the fundamentals of BBQ from my father, it is important to manage the temperature of the charcoals. The majority of the charcoals must turn white-gray, which signifies the temperature is between 240 to 300 Fahrenheit. Slip on that Cooking Glove with a TONG in hand, its Grillin’ Time!

Use your favorite Oil-based Marinade (easier to cook on the grill)
Side note: (Marinade both the vegetables and meat for 2 hours in the refrigerator)

Coat the Vegetable Marinade evenly

Use your favorite Dry-Rub for the meat

Vegetable Skewers on the Grill
