Football party menus

[Mrs. Chipotle]

Oh yes, I realize it's late July and, depending on where you are, well over 100 degrees on a regular basis. Nevertheless, it's never too soon to be thinking about football, at least to my way of thinking.

Here is what I had for our last Super Bowl party:

Wings
Pizza rolls
Jambalaya
Artichoke spinach dip
Rotel/velveeta dip
Chips and salsa
Crunchy corn dip
Pretzels and honey chipotle dip
Brownies
Cinnamon pecan bars

And the year before:

Hot dogs
Pizza rolls
Cream cheese block with raspberry/chipotle sauce
Crackers
Hot Velveeta/Rotel dip with meat
7 layer dip
Some flavor of dip for veggies
Chips
Veggies to dip
Fruit salad
Chex mix
Football shaped chocolate shortbread cookies
Laura Bush cookies
Gingersnaps

I'm a HUGE football fan and as far as I'm concerned - it's never too early to think about football and tailgating!

For a typical football game it's a big lunch with homemade macaroni, homemade bread, salad, bracciole and meatballs with pies and cakes for dessert. I schedule it so that we can enjoy our meal, get the kitchen cleaned up and still watch kickoff! Later in the day it's homemade pizzas and chicken wings, finger sandwiches, as well as dips, cheese and cracker trays, etc.

Superbowl is a total feast day!

Tailgating - anything goes! And you have to bring enough for anyone who wants some!

I often do chili or taco soup, especially when it's cold. With cornbread, of course.

And plenty of homemade salsa and the classic Rotel-Velveeta dip.

I usually do some cookies for dessert - nothing too messy and nothing that needs a plate.
