Game Day

Hosting a game day party? Whether you’re inviting everyone you know to the big backyard watch, tailgating in the parking lot, or trying to make your team’s big game feel special for you and your kids, we’ve got ideas and recipes here to make it delicious without making it hard.

My personal favorite approach? Heavy on the snacks, with pinto bean nachos, salsa, guacamole, and corn dip. BBQ chicken sandwiches if I need a big crowd-pleasing main, an assortment of serve-yourself beverages in the cooler, and the most adorable football cupcakes or rich Nutella brownies for dessert.
