Irina made quite a spread of appetizers, which included guacamole and chips, artichoke dip, and these amazing BLT stuffed tomatoes. I don't have a picture of them, but they are grape tomatoes, scooped out, and stuffed with a cream cheese/bacon mixture. Tastes just like a BLT, amazing! I think Scott ate atleast a dozen himself...If she gives me the recipe I will post it (hint hint Irina...)
For dinner, Brian grilled chicken skewers and veggies, and Scott and I concocted some "Superbowl potatoes". We baked potatoes, scooped out the middles, mashed with cream cheese, milk, and butter, and piped them back into the skins. Then we twice-baked them and added the bacon football lacing. Very festive!
It was a fun afternoon with some amazing football...100 yd. touchdown?! Crazy!

Hi Holly - I just came on here to get the carrot and fennel recipe to make tonight and was reminded that I need to give you the baby blt recipe. Here it is:
1 pound bacon
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup sour cream
1/8 cream cheese
(any of the 3 can also be substituted with yogurt. I've made it with mayo, cream cheese, sour cream, yogurt combo variations and they have all come out tasting good)
1/4 cup green onions, thinly chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
24 cherry tomatoes (or more depending on the size of tomato)
Directions:
1. Bake bacon at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes on each side, until evently browned (or however you like to make bacon). Let cool and crumble the bacon in a food processor.
2. In a bowl, stir together the mayo/cream cheese/sour cream, bacon, green onions, and parsley until well blended. Set aside.
3. Cut a small slice from the top of each tomato. Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out the inside of each tomato and discard. Fill each tomato with the bacon mixture (the easiest thing I've found is piping it from a plastic bag), and refrigerate for 1hour. Serve chilled.
P.S. The potatoes were amazing! I want that recipe!
