I figured since the "big game" was tomorrow I should post some kind of recipe. Not that I would have even known there was a game if E! hadn't mentioned Kelly Clarkson was signing the national anthem and had an easy act to follow. (Poor Christina.)
This recipe came to me from my dear friend, Suella, who is one of the best cooks I know. She gave me permission to reprint it years ago, but I have been saving this for a special occasion. I suppose the Super Bowl is special enough, but I want to take the time also celebrate Suella's discovery of some pretty amazing artistic talents!
This is one of the best crab dip recipes I have ever had and I think the secret is the apple cider. I highly recommend this!
Have a great weekend! Hope your team wins!

I wish I saw this dip recipe before I went and shopped for all my game day snack ingredients! I will have to keep this in mind for a special occasion. Sounds divine!
