Easy Game Day Recipes

While the NFL gears up for the super bowl on February 13, you can get ready with easy but tasty game day recipes! Tacoma Boys can help you get prepared with grab and go snacks as well as a variety of ingredients to cook with. Fresh seasonal produce, specialty food items, and a stocked butcher counter means you can shop for it all at once. And when it comes to game day recipes, it’s nice to have a variety of snacks and options to choose from. The best super bowl recipes tend to be finger foods and quick bites that are easy to handle. 

Potluck-style foods that can be served in individual plates are good, too. Then, everyone can take a little bit from everything they like! Make entertaining extra easy this year when you ask each guest to bring an appetizer or snack. This also ensures even the picky eaters have something to enjoy while watching the game.

And of course, it can be fun to get creative with sports-themed snacks like football-shaped foods! Another super bowl recipe that’s easy to make and fun to serve is a homemade cheeseball, shaped into a football. Just start with your favorite spreadable cheese like Montchevre Garlic & Herb Goat Cheese. For a sweet treat to finish off the day, our Homemade Football Peanut Butter Cups are surprisingly easy to put together.

Healthier Options

• Caprese tomato bites with fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, and mozzarella.
