Kick Off a Winning Super Bowl® Party

For armchair quarterbacks everywhere, the Super Bowl is not just a game.

It's the game. And it's one of the few times that--when it comes to sensible eating--all bets are off.

Now here's the plan. Whether you tune in for the game, the halftime show, or the commercials, you won't miss one minute of the action if you keep things simple with make-ahead dishes and easy buffets.




Pre-Game Goodies

When you're a true fan, the lead-up to the main event is just as compelling as the game itself. Check your local TV listings to see when the pre-game show starts, and make sure you've got plenty of snacks on hand to fuel your guests until kickoff.


Football Classics

There's something about football that makes us want to eat with our hands, and we're not talking about delicate tea cakes. No sir. We reach for pizza, hot wings, hearty dips and hefty sandwiches. Drinks are easy: just keep plenty of beer on ice. And for dessert, how about football-shaped sugar cookies iced in team colors?
