I of course looked into more fun superbowl foods....but...all I found was the usual stuff AND the ever exciting...what Nutritionists serve at their parties...yeah, it was what you would expect...low fat dips served with whole grain chips and veggies.  Good for you - of course!  Good tasting - that too!  But fun...well....not as fun as the 42 layer dip!  Please!!

But I did find a study that was done that caught my attention.  I like italian food.  Always have and I have a kid who is a total noodle fan.  And it looks like we are not alone.  The study says that 44 percent of people eat Italian each week!  ( these are my people!) But some of the other stuff was fun too....

Most people order things they don't make at home when ordering out in Italian restaurants.....and a big suprise....the sauces!  The number one sauce was Bolognese!  Meat and tomatoes and a few veggies simmered in too...regular marinara came in after that...carbonara was number 4...pesto number 6....and one that I have never tried and feel very strongly that I wont....squid ink. THat came in at the bottom of the list.  Right were it should be I think!

Not really ground breaking stuff here I know...but its more for the sake of my hubby....and to justify why he finds spaghetti for dinner just about once a week!
