There is nothing better than getting together with the Bud's for a game night. A number one pass time during this time of year is cheering for our favorite team. On Friday night's we have all been consumed with our local football team. Now we get into the heavy season of cheering on our pick in college and professional football.
After working hard all week long what perfect way to relax and end the week than hosting a game night. Start by deciding if you want to ask your guest to bring "same family" or "anything goes" food. Next either call or send a festive invitation to your guest.
Now the part I like the best--the food!
I have two simple recipes that take only minutes to prepare with touchdown results. Fun is the name of the game so Let's Get Cookin.
