I make a yummy skinny 7 layer dip with black beans instead of refried. Yummy!! GO 49ers!!
christa recently posted..Monday wasn’t a great day
I want the 9ers to win. The Ravens are obnoxious, lol.
I love spinach artichoke dip. Yum!!
Natalie recently posted..Vitacost goodies!
49ers!!!
& all snacks are my favorite : ) I’d rather live on snacks, then ever eat a meal!
My team, the Steelers, aren’t in the Super bowl
But, my husband is a Raven’s fan. Go figure! I just don’t know if I can cheer them on but I guess for my husband’s happiness I’ll suck it up!
I don’t really have a particular Super Bowl snack favorite. I guess we usually order pizza and wings, so I guess pizza.

I’ve got one race in the bag and my second race is this weekend! It’s a repeat race from 2 years ago but I’m not nearly in the same place I was so I’m trying hard to remind myself to not compare the results. : /

Not a Super Bowl fan lol but if I had to choose I would go for the Ravens

My goal is to get the speed back that I used to have back in 2009/2010. After I raced an Ironman in 2010 I totally fell off the wagon. I stopped working out and gained probably 20 lbs. I’m slowly but surely making my way back. I’ve lost 10 lbs so far and have found my love for running again!

I’m not really a football fan but I’d go for the 49′ers!

Andrea recently posted..The GoFit Gals
I don’t watch sports, I know……how unamarican, so I don’t even know who is playing Sunday. So, my favorite snack right now is a toss up between Buffalo Chicken Dip and Sausage Cheese Balls.
I’ve signed up for about half the races for 2013, and am excited to find the rest of them!! In regards to the superbowl, I always watch but am not a huge football fan!
Caroline recently posted..Maple Glazed Parsnip, Carrot, and Sweet Potato
I want the 49ers to win! And my favorite snack is mini corn dogs! Yum!
Emily recently posted..On running a marathon
I am excited for the motivation this is providing me. This weekend’s snacks will involve guacamole and a white bean dip with chips. We really don’t have a favorite to win this weekend though.
I’m cheering for the Ravens (I like their colors better!) and chips and dip are my favorite snack!
Wish I would feel better to get back out running, ugh, but go Ravens!
I’m cheering for the 49ers!

I’m indifferent to who wins the Super Bowl!
My favorite super bowl snack is rotel dip! Yum!
Mindy @Road Runner Girl recently posted..#GoalGetter2013 Update: January
Grrr, I hate the 49ers cause they took us out… but my $ would be on them. But I like purple (you know) so kinda pulling for the Ravens.

Hi,
I still do not have my website or blog set up. I have
A lot if information in the injury side of the
house to talk about. I love connecting with
everyone !!! It helps!! My blood work is
Getting back on track from a lot of
people!! Now I need to give back with
my knowledge !! Thank you for letting
me be part of this team!!!
Love the prizes offered!!! I don’t watch football and don’t watch the super bowl guess that could be good so i am not surrounded by yummy goodness at super bowl parties…
Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip with Celery. Hands down. AMAZING!!!!
The teams don’t matter to me too much this year – I’m a steelers fan.
I loooove mexican dip – its cream cheese, refried beans, salsa and cheese layered. Not healthy AT ALL but a good treat once in a while.

My team didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, but as a MD-born and raised lady, I’m rooting for the Ravens!
Rebecca @ Runner with an Appetite recently posted..2012 in Review
As a Hockey lady I have no idea who is even playing in the superbowl! Is that bad? No football for me! My favorite party snack though is rye boat dip…so bad for you but sooooo delicious too!
Renee recently posted..Workout Etiquette- Is there one?
I don’t watch the NFL. I now, I am horrible. My favorite Super Bowl snack is fresh fruit. Pineapple is my criptonite.
One of my favorite superbowl snacks are some yummy turkey meatballs stuffed with hard boiled egg and broccoli

Karina Pacheco recently posted..Third Times A Charm…
I’ve just started blogging so don’t have a linkup yet but am very excited- I am 2/13 in, with a 10K next weekend and several halfs planned throughout the year.
I picked the 49ers for the super bowl!
and i love pizza. bad for me or not, that’s my fave super bowl snack!
Emily N recently posted..The Great Pregnancy SLOW DOWN
I love chips with any sort of dip (the cheesier the better….)
This challenge has been awesome to keep me motivated. Thanks!
I don’t watch NFL football, but I love wings
I want the 49ers to win because I don’t like the Ravens (Cleveland girl).
Not a fan of either team, so I love chips and salsa for the Super Bowl. Pretty boring, I know, but oh so yummy!
Chris recently posted..Rowing machine
Gotta say the 49′ers as they are my friend’s team. If it wasn’t for that, I probably wouldn’t have an opinion. Darn Cowboys!
Oh and NACHOS! Yum, Yum!
Erica G recently posted..Nightmares
Feel like Feb is going to be a slacker month. Not registered for a single race in that month but ran 4 in January – three 10Ks and one 5K. As for the Super Bowl, I am pulling for the Ravens as a local kid plays for them (#97). I am going to try Zannie’s Black Eyed Pea dip (http://pinterest.com/pin/119134352614782536/).
Nicki recently posted..Accountability
I made that dip for New Years Day. It is excellent!
Ravens are my favorite team, so I am super excited for Sunday. We will be doing homemade wings and trying out Every Day Paleo’s shrimp cocktail.
Jacki (@JackiRHayes) recently posted..Trashed Hands Saved by FitFour
love guacamole
Audrey D recently posted..Last long run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love guacamole and chips! Not sure who I want to win. I really haven’t been following either team =)
I don’t really care who wins, but hope it is a close game worth watching. Of course, the commercials and snacks are the big attraction! Trying to keep the snacks healthy this year.
fave superbowl snack is nachos, i realize they are unhealthy, so that’s why this weekend i am running a 10k and have already stocked up on hummus and pita chips. perhaps nachos will not be my favorite after sunday. ha (sure).
I love dips. My hubby loves soft pretzels. I forsee Jalapeno Popper dip and pretzels in my future. (Although it will have to be a very small batch!)
Don’t want Super Bowl eating to get in the way of my goals!
Deana recently posted..Good Bye Old Me, Hello New Me
I’m a big fan of buffalo chicken dips

Steph recently posted..Honey Bun Cake
I don’t actually watch football. I am a closet NASCAR fan! I usually prefer sweet things like tea and cookies or I snack on rice crisps!
Jennifer recently posted..What I’ve been eating – Skating Comp. Edition
I don’t really follow football, but since I’m from MD, I’ll say the Ravens! I won’t get to enjoy an Superbowl goodies this year because I work, but anything with guacamole is a sure win!
I really don’t care who wins this year. I will be enjoying tortillas chips with fresh salsa and guacamole though!
I want the Ravens to win, because they are the underdogs!

I am rooting for the Baltimore Ravens and have been wearing purple all week in support. I even wore purple running gear! I’m going to be trying a spinach dip recipe I saw with Silk Milk to celebrate this weekend!
Cool prizes!
Andrea recently posted..Happy New Year!
Favorite snack nachos
Andrea recently posted..Happy New Year!
I will go ahead and pick the 49ers, though I’d rather be watching hockey!
Love these giveaways! Favorite Super Bowl snack has to be chips and dips…it’s not healthy but it’s what I like!
Sarah recently posted..#30DayHomies Day 31!!
I’ll be munching on popcorn while I watch the game and commercials.
Fav Super Bowl food is nachos!!!!
Thanks for arranging the challenge and for the giveaways! Fun!!!!
Since the Pats didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, I will be rooting for the 49ers for my Californian family.
mmm… i don’t really care too much about the superbowl! I heard something about one of the players on the Ravens has some kind of criminal/murder case against, so I think I’ll just go for the other guys. All I know is that I work that day and it will be SUPER slow…so I’m ok with that. But my favorite super bowl food is probably chilli!
Whitney recently posted..Tuesday Newsday – 1/29
I would like for the 49ers to win the super bowl. Being from Ohio we are not Ravens fans since they are really browns who deserted cleveland.
Working hard to put together plant-based football food menu for Sunday. I’ll be watching the game and rooting for the Ravens following my second race for 13 in 2013 that morning…Can’t wait!!
Would love to win those energy bits! Favorite super bowl snack is chips and salsa!
Am I the only person who doesn’t care about the Super Bowl? I don’t even know who’s playing!
Angela P recently posted..My Favorite Running Buddy!
As a Bay Area native…….duhh the 49ers of course!!!!!!!!!!
Cool giveaways thanks!
This is a great giveaway!!!! way to go:)!!
Not that into the Superbowl, but loving the prizes and all the running I’ve been doing
RAVENS all the way! I lived in Baltimore for 8 years! Awesome giveaway!
I am planning on running the first virtual 5k on saturday and I am running a color run the next weekend. Can’t wait to accomplish all 13 races.
My family makes this beer cheese dip from our Wisconsin roots. It sounds disgusting in thought, but it is seriously addicting!
Well in my classic New England attitude…since the Pats aren’t going to be in the Super Bowl I don’t care who wins! Oh wait even more…anyone but Baltimore! It’s along the same lines as we root for anyone who is going against the Yankees!

Favorite SuperBowl snack–chili cheese dip & tortilla chips. Definitely not healthy, but oh so good!

I’m loving this challenge, the support and races I’ve “found” by searches for the perfect 13 (or more) races in 2013!
Btw – the Ravens will be winning the Superbowl!! My favorite snack is deviled eggs.. Surprisingly

Linda recently posted..50. Go to Niagara Falls
My fav super bowl snack is buffalo chicken dip!
How have I missed out on seeing 13 in 2013 on your blog?! I did my first half marathon last weekend, and hope its not too late on jumping in on this challenge. I’m a bit hooked and hope to do another half before the year is over, along with some 5k’s, a triathlon, and some swim meets. Can I count those to the 13

Sarah @ A Runners Heart recently posted..Shubeez!
Hi Jill! Well, if the SuperBowl were on AFN in Germany at a decent time, my fave snack would be Greek Yogurt Gaucamole with Organic Corn Chips! Which we did have while watching all the Pre-game shows.
I make this really healthy slow cooker spinach and avocado dip that I love with fresh veggies!
Michelle recently posted..stop and smell the roses
well super bowl is over but i was told to bring something sweet, so brought peanut butter filled pretzels, not insanely healthy, but definitely could have done worse
