I have been, or can be if you click on a link and make a purchase, compensated via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value for writing this post. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
I’m sure you’ve heard it before. Your husband announces that you’re either hosting everyone over for the game. Or you’ve had a last minute invite to watch football.
When your not sure what to make or bring, I have the scoop.
Check out my 5 Last Minute Game Day Food Hacks for hosting the perfect gathering.
1. Buffalo Chicken Dip
Here’s a little secret….it’s from Publix. When I served this appetizer to my husband, he cannot believe I didn’t make it. Their Buffalo Style Chicken Breast Dip is always a winner. It has real chunks of chicken, Neufchatel Cheese, hot sauce and sour cream. Sounds so easy to make, but who’s got the time? I don’t!
2. Artichoke & Spinach Dip
Another game day food idea is to serve this artichoke & spinach dip from Publix. Their Artichoke & Spinach Dip is made with artichoke hearts, spinach, and asiago cheese. You can throw it in a bread bowl or serve it heated which I prefer. It taste amazing like you made it special for all of your guests. You can usually find this in the deli section at Publix Supermarkets.
3. Guacamole and Pico de Gallo
I just recreated this recipe from Chef Josh Capon who I had the pleasure of meeting at the Macy’s Culinary Council Event in Miami. I love this recipe because it’s now an after school snack for my kids. It’s also low in calories and a healthy alternative to serve for your game day party. Now I just always have the ingredients on hand to put together. You can get the recipe here!
4. Tangerines
Put a bowl of tangerines out and have the kids partake in a peeling contest. They’re in season and kinda like mini footballs. It’s another healthy appetizer to serve. You could use it as a stress reliever when the score gets to close to call.
5. GoGo Squeez
An easy game day snack to put out for the kids are GoGo Squeez on-the-go snacks. My kids are huge fans of the GoGo Squeez Yogurtz and Applesauce. You can pick these up at your local Publix or order them online.
