Holm Family Cookbook

My husband and I spent Super Bowl weekend with our friend Julie Martin.  We figured we had been doing this for about 20 years. Most years we do not care which team wins, but we still make it a party with all the typical Super Bowl fare.

Julie had prepared the following food for us to enjoy:

Chili with cheese and Fritos

Salami, assorted cheeses and crackers

Potato skins

Cheese stuffed bread sticks

Jalapeno artichoke dip

Guacamole

Spinach dip

Cajun popcorn

Salsa, cream cheese and tortilla chips

Fruit platter

Brownies (for our sweet tooth)

Brown sugar smokies

Sweet and sour chicken wings

Julie Martin's 2010 Super Bowl spread

A new recipe for us this year was brown sugar smokies. These were little smokie sausages wrapped in bacon, sprinkled with brown sugar and then baked. YUM!!

But our all time favorite is the sweet and sour chicken wings.  They are sweet and sticky and fall off the bone.  The recipe is below.

Mix the jars of preserves with the package of onion soup mix. Cut off the bony wing tips and discard.  Cut each wing in half at the joint.  Place them in a single layer in a greased, shallow 9 x 13 baking dish and cover with the preserves mixture. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
