How to have a successful Super Bowl

So, you want to know how to have a successful and fun Super Bowl even when your favorite team isn't in it and you could care less about the teams actually playing? Well, you came to the right place!

First, you should probably wear a shirt representing your favorite team and their SIX Super Bowl championships...you know, just to remind everyone that your team is in fact the best.

Next, take a trip to the grocery store during game time (yes, grocery stores stay open and the world still functions even though the Super Bowl is on...) to get some goodies for the game, like hummus, wine, brownie mix...the usual.

But wait a second, you probably shouldn't have bought that extra bottle of wine because you actually already have a whole shelf full of yummy goodies to drink. Oh well...

Now, it's time to start cooking! Pull out your new hummus (aka your latest obsession) and try out the recipe on the lid because it looks and sounds soooo delicious!

And yes, it was as delicious as it looks and sounded.

Once you've devoured that, you should probably let your food digest before moving on to the dessert, so it's a good idea to take a bunch of crazy pictures with your roommate (who is currently in the process of downing a bottle of wine...no biggie).

Pretty hair.

Okay, I think you're ready for the brownies now. Oh, and don't forget the wine...

Funfetti brownies are ideal.

Whew! All that cooking and baking has worn you out. Now it's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the 4th quarter (because yes, you've somehow missed the rest of the game..)

Maybe even get some kickboxing in if you feel so inclined...

But no matter what you do, definitely be sure to cheer for the Giants...because even though you don't really care about either team, you HATE the Patriots and so obviously they should lose.

Feel free to take pictures of your cracked, old school TV so that you at least feel like you're at the game...

And hooray Giants, they did it! Take that, Tom Brady Patriots!!!

Well, there you have it, you successfully had an awesome Super Bowl night, even without your favorite team playing! Who knew it could be done?

It's almost as crazy as your roommate finishing a bottle of wine within 3 hours.

Happy Monday!
