Super Bowl food: Last minute dips for the big game

If you’re scrambling for easy, last minute appetizers and other party food for the big game, you've come to the right place. Creamy dips are always a huge hit and they’ll usually feed a crowd too.

The following dip recipes were graciously provided by Carla, a Tulsa resident who also happens to be Chef Amanda Simcoe’s mom.

Apparently, her mom always had to make two batches of these dips because Chef Amanda would eat them before their guests arrived.

Carla said that the crab dip is especially good on frites (French fries) and the olive dip is great on fancy crackers or as a filling for finger sandwiches.

Find canned crab meat at Reasor’s, either on the aisle with the rest of the canned meat or the behind the fresh meat counter.
