A Southern Super Bowl: Share Your Plans With Southern Living!
Earlier this week I visited Generation Dog, a Birmingham pet
boutique, and immediately noticed
the nails of the owner Catherine Bres. They were gold. But not just any gold. Her thumbnails were painted with the New Orleans Saints' fleur-de-lis.
She's also carrying cool fleur-de-lis dog treats in honor of the big game for those football minded canines (see picture below).
Catherine, a big Saints fan, shared that she was making plans to
visit New Orleans for Super Bowl weekend, to be in the middle of the
festivities. After all, it's only once a team gets to go to the big game for the first time.
This got me wondering: what are other Saints
fans doing to celebrate the Super Bowl? Is
anyone else planning to go to New Orleans or Miami?
We asked Southern Living Facebook fans what they were doing for the big game …
Here are a few excerpts:
"Will be surprising my guests with personalized 'Who Dat?' and 'Geaux Saints!' chocolates. Guess you know who I'm routing for!" – Gwen Harris Cloutier
be makin' my famous chocolate dipped rice krispie shaped footballs and
lot's of cajun gumbo. Who dat gonna git 'dem some good food, yeah!" – Kathy S. Brown
will be having Red Beans and Rice or Crawfish etouffee. I'm sure
Boudain will be in there somewhere as well. I made Fleur De Lys sugar
cookies for the Saints vs. Cowboys game and they were a big hit." – Valerie Johnston Mellema
Now we want to hear more from you, especially if you're planning a
Super Bowl related road trip or special party. Please share in the "comments" section!

I am currently living in Reykjavik, Iceland so I will be having a Super Bowl Party and serving lots of good, ole’ Southern food….shrimp jambalaya and gumbo for certain. I wish I were in New Orleans to celebrate or better yet going to Miami.
Ya know I’m a Saints Fan: http://post.ly/L0TZ
I’ll be making a vat of my Washington Parrish Grandmother’s gumbo – with cold Dixie Beer and hush puppies! Who Dat gwine chomp on some vittles?
Suzanne, that sounds delicious!
Do you make your grandmother’s gumbo often or for special occasions?
Charlene, you may get the award for farthest Saints fan — great story and blog! We’d love to see pictures of your Iceland Super Bowl party and the Southern food you serve.
Got a wild hair and decided to roadtrip to NOLA to watch the Big Game with the WhoDat Nation.
Anybody have suggestions for cool Super Bowl stuff (bar/restaurant specials or viewing parties) happening in NOLA this weekend?
Personalized dog tags are a great idea for anyone who owns a pet. They will help you easily find dog if you should miss. There are many times when missing dogs can not return to their respective owners, because no one has the right information to do so.
Thank you for sharing this ingredients,its gonna be a perfect treat for this coming valentines.
I know many fanatic people as Catherine like my best friend I remember that one day he cut his hair with the shield of his favorite football team I couldn’t believe that and I remember that everybody bothered him at work.
Those are cute nail arts. I know it is hard to do that. You really have to have an inborn talent for that.
For the big game, I’d love to have great foods or candies with me.Just right for good games!
Nice nails. I will show this page to my wife. She is very in to tattoo’s and other body arts.:-) Thanks for posting.:-)
