Game Day Snacks
With today being Sunday, we spent most of the day watching football. We only ventured outside when necessary because we’ve been locked in a cold snap. It’s been unseasonably cold with temps in the 20’s with significant winds.
When we watch football, we like to have game time snacks. If you read my post from Friday, you could guess that we had hot wings. They weren’t the awesome drippy wings like the other night but they were still pretty good.
I also cooked up some little bagel pizzas. There’s nothing easier than putting together some bagel pizzas. Just a little sauce and cheese, pop them in the oven and it’s done.
My big rule for game time snacks is that there is no using of utensils. Everything must be eaten with the hands. I prefer to use paper plates too so there is very little clean up. If I’m watching the game, I hate to spend the time doing dishes.
One of my other favorites is shrimp. We didn’t have that today, the game wasn’t just big enough. We only break out the big guns during big games.
Timing is crucial too. If the snacks are timed out correctly, there is no need to make an actual meal for dinner. I love the ease and variety of having appetizers for dinner.
