I came up with this recipe for the Super Bowl & it was so good I decided to post it. Too bad it wasn’t in time for the Super Bowl, right? Oh well, can’t win them all.

Something funny about making this recipe –> When we lived in San Francisco our condo a little over 500 square feet. I bought the smallest food processor I could find because we had absolutely no space! So, when I made this recipe, I PACKED everything into this tiny food processor and it didn’t blend anything. UGH. Lesson learned (umm, maybe not the first time?). I split out the mixture into three batches and that was much more of a success. Enjoy!
