5 “Fast” Foods to Feed Football Fans
One of my friends commented how she wished she had the knack for throwing parties. She said she finds hosting people in her home intimidating because she’s not the world’s best cook and she doesn’t own any fancy serving dishes. So… her comment inspired this blog post!
Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to set a table that looks like it’s straight from the pages of Better Homes and Gardens or create meals that are Pinterest-worthy? When someone invites me over, I couldn’t care less if they serve me a frozen pizza or bake a calzone from scratch. I’m just thrilled with any invitation to get together with friends. Plus, it’s a bonus when I don’t have to fix a meal or do any dishes. What about you?
That’s why this Super Bowl I’m keeping the menu simple. I’m going to focus more on being a hostess rather than being a caterer. I hope “5 Fast Foods to Feed Football Fans” grabs your attention and inspires you, too.
Here are five recipes that can literally be made in minutes:
- Bacon Wrapped Smokies Blanketed in Brown Sugar & Butter – put a new twist on a tried and true crowd favorite with three variations of the same recipe. One version is spicy; one is sweet; and one is traditional.
- Buffalo Chicken Dip
- Queso and Chips
- Toffee Apple Dip and Apples
