What Makes a Good Super Bowl Party?

If you're the host, you want a Score, not a Fumble. Plan dishes packed with flavor and suitable for grazing...i.e., easy to keep warm or cold all afternoon! You don't want to be worried about serving food all day, you may miss one of those commercials. And don't forget...some of your guests will want to bring something, so let them plug the gaps in your offering. I've gathered some of my favorite recipes that are easy to eat and can be made in large batches.
