I have to admit, before I met Jeff the Super Bowl consisted of watching and rating the best commercials and sometimes enjoying an entertaining halftime show (Janet Jackson, anyone?). There really was no doubt I would become a Chicago Bears fan, growing up in a Bears-lovin’ household and marrying a life-long Bears fan.
Our Paleo Game Day Cookbook!
Pigskin Paleo is the perfect game day party companion with over 70 game day recipes to bring the sports bar home.
I never used to care for watching sports on TV. I’m sure it had a little to do with the fact that my dad would watch every single sport imaginable (even golf!) while I was growing up. And now I don’t even care to watch live TV, including sports, unless it’s football season! Once I learned the rules, could follow along, and played football myself, it became much more entertaining.

Jeff has seen every single Bears game (aside from 2, and if you ask him he will tell you where he was, when they took place, and why he missed the games) since he can remember.
But you don’t care about Jeff’s (or my) love for football, all you want to know is how to tame all those feisty folks who are yelling about the plays not being made, and the money they’re losing from their bets. You want enough food available to keep their pie-holes filled!
So I’ve gathered together some ideas below for your Paleo Super Bowl party. Hopefully, the foods I’ve served the past few years can give you some ideas for how to keep it healthy and tasty at the same time!
And there should be no doubt why our first cookbook, Pigskin Paleo, is jam-packed with game day recipes. Football fare is my go-to meal to prepare. :)
Now, let’s get on with the food!
Always Serve Crudités
When all else fails, you just can’t go wrong having crudités (raw vegetables) available for crunchin’ and munchin’! Be sure to cut up some carrots and celery, if nothing else, and pick up a bag of mini peppers too. It just may be the healthiest, and quickest, dish to prepare. (Just make sure they’re fresh.)
