Football/Party Food

[Jillian]

We always have people over to our house for big games (who am I kidding, all games) and we always have appetizers of some sort and sometimes even full meals.

This Sunday (Patriots/Chargers) I am making:
homemade Guac
5 Layer Mexican dip (hot and tasty)
What's It (homemade chex mix - To die for!)
Cheese and Crackers (but not chedder cheese)
Croissants (sp) stuffed with bacon and chive cream cheese

It's all pretty basic man food but I love it too


Probably some other assorted things.

So what do you make or enjoying having?

we are going to someones house on sunday for the game..we are taking bbq sausage....and beer and wine...they are providing mexican food!

[MWC]

I LOVE corn chips, especially with guac ... and/or the layered bean dip pie kind of thing ...
that and beer and diet soda () when I get too buzzy.

Taco Soup... very easy to make and everybody likes it. But Be warned, wait till almost half time to serve it. It contains beans.

I call them Zesty Mini Dogs...it's simple mini cocktail hot dogs cooked in a crockpot with beer and tabasco....let simmer until hot and ready to serve...depending on how hot you like it just keep adding the tabasco!!!

Baked salami (basted with chili sauce & beer) - serve with cocktail rye and a selection of mustards.
Reuben Dip (served hot in a hollowed out rye bread). Best to check with your cardiologist before this one, though.

Another quick recipe is called Cream Cheese Kicker...8oz of cream cheese softened and 1/2 a jar of Harry & David's Pepper and Onion Relish...you just mix the cream cheese and relish until smooth and serve with crackers......first tastes sweet but it has a hot kick to it...easiest recipe I make!

That one IS good...I've made it before.

Adam makes killer hot wings. He makes his own "buffalo style" sauce...I want to say the recipe originally came from an episode of Emeril Live.

We make a buffalo chicken dip (cream cheese, canned chicken, Texas Pete - to taste & ranch dressing - mostly to taste & until you get a nice coral/salmon color ....baked until bubbly & warm) and serve it with tortilla chips.

Adam makes good guacamole and his salsa...oh, my!

I like to have a veggie tray of some sort, too.

On the days that I don't feel like making a bunch of stuff, well, I just get online and order some Papa John's.

The buffalo chicken dip is a fave around here also.

I like to make Calzones and cut them up (we call them wedgies, thats what a local pizza place calls them).

Sarah also makes salsa, playa style!

[Kirbyfan]

On a diet so......NO!

Pretty easy stuff to make....1 block cream cheese, 1 can of chicken and then the hot sauce and ranch is just to taste. It's delish. Better when it's piping hot right outta the oven.
