You can’t have chicken wings with out Blue Cheese Dip!
I’m not a huge football fan. For me it’s all about the food while watching the game. The #MealsTogether. If you have good food, everyone will stick around for the game, whether they like football or not. Tyson Chicken Wings, Chips and dip, some veggies, a little fruit. Lots of drinks. And all close to the action.
I can’t tell you how excited my household is that the Atlanta Falcons are doing so well. And they’ve actually played games that make me look. You know what I’m talking about. Usually I’m in the room while the game is on but I’m doing something else, not really paying attention. This season, they’ve made me yell at the TV. I was excited to watch the game between the Falcons and Seahawks. I even got the hubby to go with me to Sam’s Club for all the supplies. (It wasn’t that hard, he likes looking at all the electronics while we’re there.)
Putting together a nice spread was easy. The colors for the Falcons are red, black and white. The dollar store had all sorts of bowls and containers in red and my dishes are white. That’s the other thing you want for a football party. Easy. Canned and bottled drinks on ice. Finger foods. Plastic plates.
And you don’t need a lot, just a few good items. Chips and dips are a must. Some veggies and some fruit.
And wings. With Blue Cheese Dip.
We love using the Tyson wings since they’re precooked and already sauced. Hubby and Cassie go for the Buffalo wings. I had to fight CJ and Grace for the Honey BBQ wings. You can cook them in the oven or like we did, grill them!
When it’s game time just sit back and enjoy the game. And what a game it was! An emotional roller-coaster. Think you have the game won at the end of the first half, then start thinking you might lose during the third quarter, then the last 5 minutes of the game, you’re on the edge of the sofa, yelling at the TV! I hope we make it all the way to the end, and I hope the games are just as exciting as this one was. I might have to start learning some of the payer’s names.

January 24, 2013 at 2:04 amWhat a perfect snack to watch football with! You had one heck of a spread. Hubby and I are not much of sports fans, but got a bit engaged since the SF 49’rs were playing and we live in the Bay Area. Sorry your team did not win BUT you had one heck of a great party! Smile.!
