***Looking for the recipes you saw on KCCI this morning?
Click for the Slimmed Down Buffalo Dip, and S’Mores on a Stick!***
Hi everyone, happy Friday!
Gosh, another week, and month, down the hatch. Can you believe it’s already February? Spring is right around the corner! We got a wonderful preview, with temps in the 50′s and 60′s this week, although it sounds like we might be in for snowmageddon later this weekend. Blerg.
In other news, KCCI went well this morning, I think! We made snacks for the Super Bowl including Slimmed Down Buffalo Chicken Dip, and S’mores on a Stick. ‘Cause nothing says game day like chocolate, marshmallow and graham crackers, don’t ‘ya know.

Here’s the video, in case you’re curious!
In other news, I thought I’d wrap up Super Bowl Recipes Week with a few more dishes to make your spread the absolute ultimate. Whether you’re heading to a party, or hanging out at home, I hope you have a great time filled with good eats. And, holla if you can’t wait for that David Beckham commerical!
Enjoy!

Girrrrrl I think Steve Karlin has a crush on you! haha
HAHA, my coworker and I were joking about this as well!
Totes agree with above response…and he totally stole your spatula!!
Another awesome segment, IGE. You rock.
Everything looks dang good!
Congrats on the KCCI video! I’m an Iowa Girl living in Chicago and just started following your blog. Lovin’ all your posts
Steve Karlin adores you, so cute
Thanks for preparing my spread for Sunday! I’ve been looking forward to this day all week! You ROCK, keep up the good work!
I CANNOT WAIT to try these this weekend! I’m hosting a super bowl get together and I’m pretty sure these treats will be much-appreciated
Thanks for a great post!! And GO GIANTS!
You always have such creative good ideas. So impressed with how much you do with the blog and freelance type opportunities. You are definitely an inspiration.
Ah, it all looks so good! I need to have about 6 parties to be able to make and try it ALL! I can’t wait to see the video from this morning (I’m at work and will have to wait until I get home to watch it). Thanks for the creative ideas!!
Sweet victories indeed!
You used to have a different recipe for pulled pork sandwiches that included onion soup mix. Can you help me with ingredients and directions…I can’t find the recipe on your site.
It’s actually shredded beef, and it is soooooo good! http://iowagirleats.com/2009/11/12/french-dip-a-la-crock-pot/
Oh yeah…he totally likes you.
I was going to tell you that I’ve developed a cheater version of pickle roll-ups. I personally think they’re a huge P.I.T.A. to make, but I seem to be in charge of them for many gatherings so I had to find a trick. All I do is slice the pickles first, then glob a dollup of cream cheese on top of the pickle, then fold up I think 1/2 of a piece of meat, stick it on top of the cream cheese, and put a toothpick to keep it all together. So basically a “pickle skewer”. Tastes exactly the same and no rolling required.
Thanks for that corn muffin hot dog thing…my mom loved it and plans on mass producing it on Sunday…

I want to make all of these! Great job on the show.
You were fantastic—as usual—on the news, Kristin! Way to go! And thanks for sharing all of these tasty game day recipes. I think I’m going to have to make this my to-cook list for February and slowly check these off!
Enjoy your weekend!
I just caught up on your last week of super bowl sunday recipes. You.are.a.GENIUS. Do these recipe ideas keep you up at night?
Love your blog! Fresh and exciting recipes – can’t wait to try them!
I just gained 15 lbs looking at these recipes. GOOD LAWD they look tasty!
WAY TO GO! You did a fabulous job once again.
You do such a great job on tv! How exciting, these look like fun recipes, you are my favorite blog to read on Fridays, LOVE friday favorites! I blogged about it here

I had to laugh when you started the sugar free Jebruary because I had started “No Junk Food January a few weeks back!
Hope it is still going well for you
I don’t live in Iowa but I like seeing your cooking segments they are soo cute and I agree with some other posters and their thoughts on Steve digging you,
However, if possible I think you should look at the camera more I think it would show more of your personality. Mostly all we see is your left side.
I know – it stinks, but they tell me not to look at the camera!
I’m making the corn dogs and smores on a stick today for game day! I’m sooo excited to taste them.
You are so good on tv girl, great job!!! Love the Greek yogurt in that buffalo chicken dip, such a great swap out. I’m making a pimento cheese today using it vs. mayo, that way I can eat twice as much, right?
Congrats on another great segment, perhaps you’ll be the next Pioneer Woman…!!
I am also an Iowa girl and am loving your blog. I stumbled upon it several weeks ago and have been hooked since. Your s’mores on a stick and corndog muffins are a big hit with my four year old son – with my hubby and I also.
We had an Iowa Girl Eats inspired Super Bowl. We made the buffalo chicken poppers, the taco dip and the mini corn dog muffins. My kids want to marry you for the corn dog muffins. Thanks!
I made the buffalo chicken poppers and they were a hit! They were gone almost as soon as I set them out!
OMG those dips look insanely good. I made a gooey spinach dip for the game that was delish. The spinach rules out the cream cheese, right?
[...] end of last week was crazy trying to get ready for KCCI, then there was a snow day, and prepping for the Super Bowl, et al. The fact that my left arm and [...]
So I finally got around to making the Buffalo Chicken Poppers and they were a huge hit. So huge that I had to share them on my blog with my 3 faithful readers. Okay maybe I have 4, but who’s counting? Thanks for sharing and the next time you and the hubby get up to the TC, beers on me for this recipe! Cheers!
