Geux with the fleux


S
uperbowl Sunday is such an American institution and I mean USA when I say "American" in this instance. There is so much hype and build up as to what are the best snacks to serve. Here's what I have to say - do what you want.



We are going to have fresh ground chicken tacos. Fry up the shells, doesnt the oil look so cool in this shot?



Fill with taco goodness.



Killer smoothies made from persimmon, mandarin orange and carambola (star fruit) are so good you actually dont need anything else.



We also have the best turkey in all the land. A nice turkey breast from the lovely people at Shady Brook Farms that has been filleted out and a layer of butter, pumpkin and cranberries and rosemary was spread over it.



It was then rolled back up and roasted covered in a 350 oven




until the internal temperature was 150 thus allowing the residual heat to carry it up to 165.



Sliced it looks so beauticious and delicious.



Served up with a little gravy and butternut squash, this dish has an entire turkey dinner in every single bite. So whatever you do and whatever team you choose I hope your day turns out as good as mine looks like its going to.



Whoops - I forgot to mention the super fudgy rice and soy brownies - vegan all the way!



I also forgot to tell you about the sweet potato and plantain fries.



The fries got served up with a little marinated garlic slices - can I get a "who dat" !

We were invited to the Superbowl party next door, but I'm not really up and around since my surgery, so the 3 boys went. We had steak and bread sticks, and the neighbor sent over cake. Worked for me! Happy superbowl sunday; I'm glad it's over.

What an amazing feast! I really love the turkey breast! But everything has my mouth watering.

ARUNA said...

Everything is so damn tempting......its a gorgeous spread!!!

Joanne said...

This is definitely the most intense superbowl meal I have seen this far. Way better than wings and nachos.

Now the question is. How do I convince my non-pumpkin eating parents that this is how they have to prepare the turkey next Thanksgiving...

Cate O'Malley said...

That's some mighty fine eatin' over there - the fries look fab!

Sippity Sup said...

With food like that I bet nobody was even watching the game! GREG

Angie's Recipes said...

How could you concentrate on watching the game while so much good stuff were served??! The turkey breast with pumpkin puree with cranberries looks the best!

Your stuffed turkey is gorgeous. And that smoothie with the carambola is a winner.

DB- do you put any spices in that pumpkin? The smoothie could work with a bit of vodka too. I want to tell you that we love sweet potato fries of all kinds but the garlic touch is very intriguing!
