Lime can not only soothe a sore throat when mixed with honey, give you clarity of thought, and cure your bad breath it also is delicious in cupcakes, salad, and beans.

Above all lime makes spicy food bearable, and adds a light, sweet zest to your food, and can give a boring dish a total 180 degree change. If you have been craving a season change for the sole purpose of new dinner options but can’t seem to find it on any menu because it’s not quite spring, summer, etc just ask for lime. Although lime wont turn your dish into a fall beef stew or transform your spinach salad with apple, goat cheese and cranberry into an avocado and tortilla salad, it will change the taste tremendously and make the last weeks of cold more bearable for your taste buds begging for change.

Feeling a night of Asian cuisine? Get your hands on a fresh filet of salmon and whisk up a trendy lime-cilantro sauce. Grab a bowl and mix lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, and fresh cilantro for a taste like never before. Or if you’re ditching fish all together and need to get your teeth chomping on something with more substance head to your local grocery store and grab a few racks of spareribs. Make a rub with cinnamon, salt, pepper, and ground cloves with coriander and grill them up! Add a squeeze of lime and your ribs will be a mouthwatering fusion of fall and summer all combined into one delicious, saucy bite!

Latin cuisine is a friend of lime so feel free to finally make that jumbo scallop dish you’ve been craving all year long and add plantains, limes, olive oil, and salt and pepper. As you can probably tell, we’re not asking much here. We only hope to give your pallet something a little more exciting than vanilla ice cream and baked potatoes. We understand you’re bored, and eating light food is more comfortable than a heavy dish because you don’t want to put an extra hour at the gym in. However with a season change on the way, now is the absolute best time to experiment with food and more so, lime. So mix up your favorites with a squeeze of lime on top! Also, don’t forget to accompany your Latin jumbo scallop dish with a drink so tasty, you’ll have to extend your dining time. Add a bottle of Cachaca and muddle lemon, lime and sugar to this white rum for a delicious Caipirinha.

Umm.. we’re not done yet! Don’t think about shifting your eyes yet! We have to cover the best part of lime re-creation: DESSERT! We’re talking key lime pie cup cakes with a wedge of lime tossed in sugar resting on top of your soon-to-be favorite dessert. Don’t forget to eat dinner first!

Now, with an epic rematch looming, New England is holding its breath for the Super Bowl that must be won at all costs. Most of America will be watching this epic rivalry play out on the big screen because tickets to the game at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis are nearly impossible to come by and are selling for between $2,000 (for the worst possible seats), and $500,000 for a luxury box.

So for us commoners who will be watching the game on the Big Screen, how can we maximize are viewing experience? First of all, Football is best enjoyed with good company so invite all your friends. Step two is also kind of obvious, stock up on food and drinks. Beer and football are an American classic so buy plenty. For food, you can always grab the wing platter at your local grocery store but if you want your party to stand out, there are a number of quick and easy recipes for guacamole or bean dip you might try. If you interested in taking it to the next level, try making your own spicy wings. They cook in under ten minutes and they are delicious. With food and beverage taken care of, that brings us to the next key ingredient for a superb Super Bowl viewing experience: The TV area.

Between the high-strung emotions and the combination of lots of beer and food, Super Bowl parties can get rowdy and messy. You may want to go through your TV room and remove the fine china and that weird paperweight you got from your grandmother as a graduation gift. You don’t need to strip the room and lay down plastic sheeting but anticipate a lot of activity and excitement. Also, there will be more people watching the game than you typically have at your house. Make sure you consider how many people will be attending when you organize the room. Guest will appreciate some kind of seating options even if it’s just the kitchen chairs moved into the TV area.

Hopefully, at this point you have your food and drinks ready, your TV room is prepared and the invitations are sent out. A few final tips for making this Super Bowl party great: Try to set up the food and drink in the TV room or as close to it as possible. This will allow your guests to stay glued to the game instead of having to get up constantly. Also, when the night comes to an end, you will be left with a bunch of either very happy or very disappointed, intoxicated football fans. Both are equally dangerous behind the wheel of a car. Try to organize some designated drivers ahead of time to keep your party and the roads as safe as possible.
