The Superbowl is less than a week away, and while I don’t have a horse in the race, I know that I will either be at home watching or at a friend’s house for a party. Either way, I will definitely be making some “football food” to enjoy during the game.
If we end up going to a Superbowl party, I will, as always, plan ahead and bring some delicious plant-based appetizers, both to make sure that Alan and I have something to eat, and to share. I always love to introduce omnivores to the idea that eating vegan does not mean eating boring or bland food.
Here are some of my favorite vegan Superbowl treats. Click on the photos for the recipes.
Vegan Superbowl Party: Cheesesteak Sandwich
These cheesy, gooey sandwiches are perfect for a stay at home “football dinner.” Add some avocado to score some extra flavor and nutrition.
Vegan Superbowl Party: Pesto Pizza
Vegan pesto is so easy and so delicious! Add your favorite veggie toppings and you have a winning pizza!
Vegan Superbowl Party: Spicy Tofu Buffalo “Wings”
Go in for the touchdown with these spicy hot tofu “wings.”
Vegan Superbowl Party: Quesadillas
Who doesn’t love quesadillas? Bring these to a Superbowl party and you’ll score plenty of extra points.
So good and so easy to make in a large quantity. You can feed the whole team with these delicious tempeh tacos.
Vegan Superbowl Party: Hot “Wings” and Potato Boats
You get two for one with this recipe! Or can we call it a safety? Spicy hot “wings” with Gardein chick’n tenders and potato boats.
Vegan Superbowl Party: BBQ Kidney Beans & Quinoa Burgers
Don’t skip the burgers at your Superbowl party! These BBQ Kidney Bean and Quinoa burgers are a great way to kick off your meal.
Vegan Superbowl Party: Perfect Pasta Salad
This isn’t any old pasta salad. It’s jam-packed full of flavor and nutrition, and it’s gluten-free. The best part is your team will just say it’s delicious.
My Weekend on Instagram
I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve checked in, so here’s a quick Instagram weekend update!
On Saturday, Alan and I helped out at the Color Run put on by Palm Valley School.

That’s our friend Karla on the left, whose son is a student at the school.
On Sunday, Alan and I got out for first a three mile run, then we took the dogs out for their run, for a total of 5.3 miles, my longest since I hurt my knee. #smallvictories
Then I took Jazzi and Coco, our non-runners, for a sniff fest, er, long walk.
During the first part of our run, Alan was kind enough to shoot a couple photos for my upcoming Instagram challenge with Fit Approach and prAna.

Small victories which are HUGE ONES!
SO glad to hear it about the knee!
And yes.
Still so sad :0) my Steelers arent playing next weekend.
Sorry about the Steelers (from a 49er fan whose team was out of it from about the first week!).
I don’t have a horse in the race either but I’ll be watching and eating, of course. The pesto pizza sounds amazing. And yay for the knee comeback!!
From one who definitely knows the feeling of a comeback. Thanks!
What great options! Tofu buffalo wings are right up my alley. Thanks for linking up with us for Meatless Monday
I seriously love those tofu wings. I’m more excited out them than about watching the Super Bowl 🙂
Don’t know how I feel about some of these recipes, but I’d definitely try them out. I’ve been dying for some buffalo chicken wings lately. I’m missing all the cheesy gooey dips lately, so may have to test the waters with tofu and vegan cheese.
It’s been years since I’ve had real chicken wings, but both the tofu and Gardein versions solve my cravings.
These all look great! I’m going to have to decide what to make for Sunday soon. Love the idea of the potato boats – so versatile!
They are versatile! My potato boats or skins are never the same. Though I just bought some vegan bacon to go “vegan traditional” on Sunday 🙂
Great roundup of recipes. Thanks for linking up for Meatless Monday.
So many delicious ideas! We usually do lots and lots of veggies, popcorn, whatever we are in the mood for. I’m not cheering for either team because I don’t even think we will watch it now as my hubby is heading out for work. Otherwise I usually watch for commercials and the half time show.
Happy Meatless Monday, thank you for linking up!
The commercials are definitely the best part. And if my husband wasn’t home I’d doubt I’d watch the Super Bowl either. I can always see the ads on the internet 🙂
I’m happy regardless of who wins–both teams are great, and love Peyton. We are going to a get together with friends, and I feel like that is going to be a recipe for trouble. I don’t do well with willpower in such situations, let us just say.
Oh well, it’s just one day. I’m still not sure where we’ll be, but I suspect we’ll be at home, which is fine by me.
What fun over the weekend & beautiful pics! Glad you got out to run & are getting back to it! xoxo
I am really so happy to be back to running. Slow and steady, but at least I’m out there.
Love the look of these recipes!
Thanks Christine!
Mmmm I’m all over that vegan pesto pizza! Thanks for linking up and sharing! 🙂
Thanks Annmarie. I love pesto anything and you really don’t miss the cheese.
We don’t have Superbowl here, but those recipes… I’ll need a break right away for lunch.
You got me hungry, Debbie.
Thanks a lot for the ideas. As a vegan newbie, there’s a lot I still need to learn.
Haha. You really don’t need football to enjoy these. And I’m happy to help in any way on your vegan journey.
