Ultimate Paleo Super Bowl Recipes (2024)

In 2012, I confessed that I have a weakness for NFL football playoffs and awards shows. This year, for the first time ever in my life, I truly became a football fan. I read magazines and websites, I developed opinions on coaches and teams, I watched football every Sunday, and I was so very disappointed when my beloved New England Patriots lost the AFC Championship to the Denver Broncos — who, I must admit, I really, really like… because Peyton Manning

I should also be completely transparent about this: I am a somewhat fickle football fan. I have no geographical nor historical allegiance to teams. I’ve selected my favorite teams based on completely subjective criteria like whether or not I think the people involved — especially QBs and coaches — are good people or are entertaining, or at least stand for something I can get behind.

For example, I’m a fan of the Harbaugh brothers because John (Baltimore Ravens) seems like a good person and Jim (San Francisco 49ers) is so entertaining on the sidelines. Ravens? YES! OMG Jacoby Jones! I dislike the Steelers because I have thoughts about Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Tomlin. I’m blown away by Peyton Manning‘s recovery from surgery to be better than ever — and I have completely fallen for the Tom Brady+Bill Belichick show.

So Super Bowl Sunday. YES! A thousand times yes, even though my favorite-favorite team isn’t playing. Peyton Manning tops my list of good guys, so we’ll be cheering for the Broncos. And also food.

Now that nuts are part of my everyday diet, I wondered if I would be less excited about my holiday spiced nuts this year. Lower...
