Our Superbowl eats included my Green Bay inspired Cheddar Ale Soup, my Buckwheat Basil Salad, surprise brownie bites and (oh yum!) apple cheese danish.

In addition, I had snacks. Veggies, chips and dips!

Here we go:

garlicy onion tofu dip

1 block extra firm tofu, drained
1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked
3 stalks celery, chopped fine
3 green onions, chopped fine
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
sea salt + pepper to taste

In food processor, pulse cashews into a paste. Add tofu, mustard, nutritional yeast, vinegar and turmeric, combine. Remove from food processor, add chopped celery and onion, combine. Salt + pepper to taste. Chill until serving.

dilly tzatziki dip

2 cucumbers, peeled and finely grated
2 cups Tofutti sour creme
5 cloves garlic, chopped fine
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped fine

Pulse all ingredients in food processor until blended. Chill until serving.

creamy pimento dip

1 cup raw cashews, soaked
1/2  jar pimento – 2 oz, chopped fine
8 ounces Tofutti creme cheese
1 clove garlic, chopped
sea salt, to taste

In food processor, pulse cashews into fine paste. Add garlic and creme cheese, pulse until blended. By hand, stir in pimentos and salt to taste. Chill until serving.

buffaleaux chik’n dip

1/2 package soy curls, rehydrated
3/4 cup Franks Buffalo Sauce
8 ounces Tofutti creme cheese
1/2 cup Tofutti sour creme
1 tube Teese vegan cheese, grated/chopped fine
5 stalks celery, chopped fine

Marinate soy curls in buffalo sauce while prepping cheese and celery. Combine all ingredients, adding more buffalo sauce to taste. Bake (covered in tinfoil) @ 350 for 35 minutes – stirring at 20 minutes.

I served all of these dips with lentil chips, awesome gluten free crackers (these are seriously SO good and my new favorite!) and veggies – broccoli, carrots and celery.

These plates were everywhere:

Of course my favorite marcona almonds made an appearance:
