With the Super Bowl this weekend, you'll want to make a few favorite drinks and snacks to watch it. Here's a roundup of some of my all-time party favorites! Scroll down past the slideshow to find links to each recipe. All of these are super easy so you'll be able to hang out and enjoy the game!

PERFECT BLOODY MARY: What is a Super Bowl without a Bloody Mary? Get my classic recipe plus learn how to build a Bloody Mary Bar for your next brunch or party!

FIRE ROASTED CHIPOTLE CHILI We now call this one Melanie's Award Winning Chili because she won a chili cookoff with this recipe... smoky, spicy, but not too much heat, everyone loves it!

FAST FOOD PROCESSOR SALSA When you don't want to chop but want a fresh salsa... here's what to do.

HAM DELIGHTS I've been making this one since the 80's and nobody ever gets tired of it. It's always on our table for a party or people would go home!

CHUNKY BLUE CHEESE DIP Hard to have a party without a good dip... this one is good for veggies or also with my spicy chicken wings recipe below.

DIABLO CHICKEN WINGS Another recipe I made on Food Network Star... hard to go wrong with these for a football party!

CREAMY PARTY GUACAMOLE Everyone loves guac for a party. This one adds some cream cheese for a different take on the classic but if you are calorie conscious, just leave it out.

BAKED PITA CHIPS AND HOMEMADE ONION DIP Nothing says party like onion dip! As a kid, I never had a party without a gallon of Barber's Onion Dip. You'll love this one- better than I remember the original.

CHEESY ARTICHOKE BITES What is it about cheese and artichokes that just taste so good?

HAM AND CHEESE IN PUFF PASTRY I came up with this when I could not find the little rolls for my Ham Delights recipe. This one might be even better than the original!

BACON AND CHIVE POTATO SALAD While I do love the typical mustard based potato salad my mom always made, this bacon and chive potato salad tastes like a giant loaded baked potato!

Guacamole is one of those recipes that is perfect for just about any get-together because it is easy to make, avocados are readily available year ‘round, you can make it on the fly as your guests watch (it is always fun when restaurants make guacamole tableside), and best of all, everyone loves it! My version includes a bit of cayenne and a little cream cheese which gives it a slightly smoother consistency and a bit of a Southern flair. You can most certainly omit the cream cheese for a healthier option.

You might notice I kept the outer peel of the avocados intact and spooned the guacamole into them so that each guest has their own individual serving-- that way, there's no hovering over a shared bowl and little risk of double dipping!

Serve Guacamole in Avocado Peel Boats- No Double Dipping!

Since guacamole requires ripened avocados, you will need to plan your shopping trip a few days prior to making the recipe since you can never find a ripe avocado in the store when you need one!

PERFECT PARTY GUACAMOLE

INGREDIENTS

4 large ripe Haas avocados, peeled, seed removed, and cubed

2 limes, juiced

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon ground cumin

Pinch cayenne pepper

Pinch granulated sugar

4 ounces Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature

2 medium Roma tomatoes, diced fine

1 medium white onion, chopped fine

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ of a small Serrano pepper, seeded and minced (a Jalapeno pepper can be substituted)

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Toss the avocado with the lime juice. Drain the lime juice, reserving 2 tablespoons. In a large bowl, add 1 avocado, the cream cheese and the salt, pepper, cumin, sugar, and cayenne plus 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice and blend together so the cream cheese is not visible. Add the remaining avocado and 1 more tablespoon of the lime juice and coarsely mash with a fork or potato masher. Add the remaining ingredients and stir gently to combine.

Serve immediately with warm tortilla chips or toasted pita bread wedges.
