If you can throw a football, you can make lace cookies, right?

It’s that time of year when football fans and foodies unite.

They come together as one big happy family - joined by all things cheesy, bacon-wrapped and fried - and plan their Super Bowl party menus.

Although New Year’s Day often marks the end of the feasting season and dieting resolutions take effect, it seems that the Super Bowl is the last point when most people are seen publicly eating from large vats of Velveeta.

At least until the holiday party season begins again in the fall.

I have some great suggestions for your Super Bowl party this year so take a look at the Tulsa World Scene section on Wednesday. Some of the recipes I have tested are classics, but others are rather unique. (Hint: tiny soft pretzel bites filled with pizza toppings and dipped in pizza sauce).

Through the foodie network, I’ve received several other suggestions for foods to make for the big game. Below I have included three of those recipes that were provided by celebrities to New York attorney and author Nick Katsoris for his cookbook, Loukoumi’s Celebrity Cookbook. Katsoris is author of the award-winning children’s book series featuring Loukoumi the fluffy lamb. Proceeds from the book benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Chefs for Humanity.

So enjoy these recipes and know that there will be more to come...

Jay Leno’s Uncle Louie’s Chicken Wings Marinara

4. At the end of this cooking time, add Durkee’s Hot Sauce (put a little or a lot, depending on how hot or mild your taste), but put in at least 2 Tablespoons or the sauce won’t be as tasty.

Let those lace cookies cool and then spread melted chocolate chips between two to make a cookie sandwich. But beware.... your new job in life will be taking them to every family gathering!
