Sunday Funday, can the Steelers win a game!? The Steelers played the Minnesota Vikings this week, so my football menu revolved around food from Minnesota.
After doing a little research I found out that Minnesota is known for a cheese stuffed burger called a Juicy Lucy. Perfect football food! I paired them with some Cajun sweet potato oven fries.
We started our Sunday food madness with a hot corn dip (Minnesota is a big corn producer) with pita chips, and a caramelized onion dip with fresh veggies because you always feel better when you eat some veggies when you are having a little pig out.
Our Steelers may not have done very well, but my Minnesota themed healthier menu was awesome!
Lets go Steelers!
Next week the Steelers have a bye week, so we decided to cook some goodies from Pittsburgh, which is known for the open faced turkey sandwich, chip chopped ham, Heinz ketchup, the Clark Bar, the Klondike Bar and the Primanti Brother's sandwich. So many ideas, it will be hard to shorten my list!
