Right after the Superbowl, Mr. Big Flavors and I decided that our next kitchen purchase needed to be a pizza stone. We made three pizzas on three baking sheets for the Big Game, and the resulting crusts each had a different texture – too crunchy, too crispy, or too flat. Just too inconsistent, really. It was [...]
The Big Flavors are not big meal planners. I mean we do have ideas around what we want to eat for dinner during the week, but we don’t list it out by each day and then plan our shopping trip around the list. We probably should do this, and I’m actually a bit surprised [...]
Since the Bills will probably never make it to the Superbowl again while I’m alive, Superbowl Sunday is mainly about the food for me. Sure I like watching the game and hearing all of the dramatic stories. I even enjoy catching a commercial or two. But, until the Bills make it to [...]
Whether it be for snacking or an actual meal, I just can’t pass up using the crockpot on football Sundays. Crockpot cooking ensures tasty food and great results with very little work required. This means more time watching the pre-game festivities and less time in the kitchen. Everyone wins! Here are some of my favorite [...]
I’ve previously mentioned that Buffalo restaurants almost always have stuffed banana peppers and chicken wings on the menu. It’s rare that you’d go to a restaurant in this city and not see [...]
This might have been one of the longest weeks, ever.

I could eat a whole jar (maybe even two jars) of pickle slices in one sitting, without even skipping a beat. (How’s that for your [...]
Two Super Snackin’ Sunday recipes in a row that don’t require any cheese? This is so unlike me. When we’re snacking, there’s almost always some kind of cheese or dip involved. Nuts, too, always seem to make an appearance at our game day spread. Mr. Big Flavors loves a good beer nut that balances salt, sweet [...]
Unfortunately, some Sundays I don’t have the time to make a bunch of snacks and sit around to watch football all day. Booooo! I hate those Sundays when real life gets in the way. It’s been super crazy and busy around the Big Flavors household, and this weekend is just jam-packed with other things [...]
For me, it’s usually a stressful kind of day when a pizza cravings hit. There’s just something about a crispy pizza crust and gobs of melted cheese that instantly lifts my spirits and puts the day back on track. (Actually, pizza and chocolate both have the same effect. But this post is about pizza so [...]
