This may not come as a total surprise, but we're not exactly sporty. But just because we can't tell you who's in this year's Super Bowl, doesn't mean we don't have some great ideas for food this Super Bowl Sunday.

FIRST QUARTER SNACKS: EJ'S SIMPLE RIBS
Don't delicious ribs, dripping in barbecue sauce, just scream Super Bowl? We loved these ribs when we made them last summer and would make them again in a heartbeat. Making ribs requires some upfront work and time in the oven, but that can easily be done the Saturday before the big event as a make-ahead dish.
