No matter who wins the Super Bowl, we all know the real touchdowns will be on the snacking menu. But who has time or energy to fuss around in the kitchen when real attention should be paid to the game? Our easy recipe for Slow-Cooker Sticky Wings saves the day. These sweet, tangy, perfectly sticky chicken wings are a cinch to prepare for a crowd -- and are decidedly hands-off.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS
Perfect sticky wings are moist and lacquered with a slightly thick, sweet yet tangy sauce -- the stickier and messier, the better. First, we coated the chicken with a pungent mix of dark brown sugar, soy sauce, and aromatics and let it cook for about 4 hours until tender. Meanwhile, we made an easy sauce with tomato paste, soy sauce, and more sugar and cayenne.

PROTOLEAF: Potato starch and dirt soupTokyo has a well-deserved reputation for high-end dining but one restaurant is making headlines for a menu that's less hoity-toity and more down and dirty.

A French establishment named Ne Quittez Pas (“Please don’t leave”) is serving a ‘dirt course’, according to Japanese Rocket News, a website that sampled the menu. For $110 you can eat the stuff you scrub off your sneakers and pry from your kid's mouth on the playground. Ne Quittez Pas' menu includes a potato starch and dirt soup, salad with dirt dressing, aspic made with oriental clams and a top layer of sediment, a dirt risotto with sauteed sea bass, dirt gratin, and dirt ice cream. According to the Rocket News investigation, despite appearing, well, dirty, none of the dishes actually tasted like dirt and were described as "delicious" and "divine." They also reported that the dirt contains coffee grinds and palm fiber.

Mexican MuffinsMuffins have become a mainstay of our freezer lately. With a family full of busy schedules and little time in the mornings for a leisurely breakfast, I've resorted to pre-preparing an arsenal of foods that are easy to pull out and reheat for just times like these. These muffins are great for pulling out of the freezer, defrosting, and eating on the go or packing in your little one's lunchbox. Make a batch of these muffins on a Sunday afternoon, freeze them and you'll be so relieved every morning you have to race out the door but need to feed the kids and pack lunches first. You may even find yourself heating up one or two extra for yourself!
