You’ll find some traditional football snacks like buffalo chicken wings along with others that are a little different like a peach salsa to go with those chips.

How to plan a Game Day Party 🏈
When having friends over to watch a game, I like to have a variety of appetizers on hand so that everyone can find something they love. Along with great food, here are some planning tips for a stress free party.
- If your friends offer to bring something, give them a suggestion so that you don’t have five cheese dips. If you already have the food covered, suggest that they bring drinks or ice.
- Choose some food that can be made well in advance and frozen so that all you have to do is let it thaw. This works great for desserts.
- If you have a slow cooker or chafing dish, make a dip that is best served warm. If not, then choose a dip that is good at room temperature, football games last a long time!
- Try to serve food that can be eaten without utensils, finger food is a must.
- If something needs to be baked or heated, have it ready so that all you have to do is pop it in the oven. No one wants to cook and miss out on a big play.
- Try to serve food that will still be delicious at room temperature.
- While wings and sausage balls are great appetizers for game day, throw in some fresh veggies and dips or a charcuterie tray for those that may have dietary restrictions.
FAQs about Game Day Food 🏀
If you’re bringing something to a party, try bringing an appetizer that can be served at room temperature like a peach salsa or guacamole.
Some easy appetizers you can make ahead would be homemade chex mix or cheese crackers. You can make them weeks in advance and store in the freezer.
There’s nothing worse then eating a room temperature appetizer that’s meant to be served warm. Instead, plan some appetizers that can sit out for several hours without loosing their flavor like spinach pinwheels or baked brie with pears.
The best way to keep dips warm is by using a slow cooker, or if you’re old school pull out a chafing dish.
