Ideas for Super Bowl Sunday, From Your Local Grocer

Most everyone who has lived in the Phoenix area for a while knows that Bashas' stores are locally owned and operated. What you might not know is that the Bashas' family of stores also includes two other sets of grocery stores with specialized target markets, Food City and AJ's Fine Foods.

AJ's Fine Foods caters to an upscale clientele, offering gourmet groceries as well as a higher end of prepared foods, fresh baked goods, high quality meats and cheeses, floral items and wines. You'll find AJ's stores in Chandler, Glendale and Mesa, two stores in Central Phoenix and six stores in Scottsdale.

This year, AJ's is helping Phoenix area residents by providing some recipes that you can prepare for your guests on Super Bowl Sunday. What I love about these recipes is that they are easy to prepare. Even I could make these (and that's saying a lot) and they certainly sound much more appealing than frozen pizza bites or sub sandwiches. What makes them so simple? In most cases, the unique flavors are supplied by products produced by Terrapin Ridge Farms, available at AJ's stores.

If you try any of these recipes, add your comments below and let us know how they turned out. Almond Cheese Log, here I come!
