Made me super hungry! I would like to try these kinds of cooking! <3
There are a few different types of cooking here but most is baked in the oven which is the way I go for busy game day parties!
Holy crap that’s a lot of food! I assume that we’re just suppose to pick a few things from this menu. Even for my family that is way too much food for a party.
Now, that said, I’ve actually made homemade bacon wrapped chicken fingers. In fact, I had that for dinner the night before last. There is so much that looks delicious on that menu, the bacon cheddar cheese ballad and carmalized onion dip are definitely two things I am going to try just because they look and sound good!
Yes, as it says in the post itself this list of ultimate game day food is here to help you PLAN your game day menu!! LOL If you did make it all that would be a lot of food but at least you would be full and satisfied, probably for the whole week!!
