Homemade Game Day Recipes

It’s Super Bowl time! 

Are you planning a party for your friends and family this year for the Super Bowl?  What type of foods do you consider food ball party foods? 

Have you considered making your snacks and meals from scratch?  I am a person who thinks homemade cooking tastes so much better and I love taking the time to put my personal touch on the foods I make.  Instead of buying a frozen pizza, you can make a homemade pizza with so much more flavor plus you get to put exactly what you want on it. 

Game Day Recipes

First, make sure that your game day food is portable.  The last thing your guests want is to miss part of the game because they had to sit down to a meal in another room.  Finger foods or small portions make it easier to transport food to the room you are watching the game. 

Fleischmann has some delicious looking recipes on their website.  Here are just a couple that I thought looked yummy!

End Zone Sausage Pizza

Spinach Artichoke Focaccia

Bacon, Herb and Cheese Snack Bread

Polish Dogs on a Stick

Fleischmann’s yeast is known for quality and reliability and for giving at-home bakers confidence in their from-scratch recipes since 1868 (over 140 years ago!).

If you are anything like me, you try out new recipes before making them for guests.  That way I can make small changes and tweaks if they are needed.  I tried the Whole Wheat Slider Bun recipe the other night and they were fabulous!

These were so easy and quick to make.  Homemade breads can usually take a little time but these are ready to bake in about 30 minutes.

  1. Hmm. Wonder if these recipes will work if we are just watching netflix – alas no cable!
    Maybe we can watch a football movie and devour! 🙂

  2. I agree on the finger foods, but not so much on the homemade foods. LOL! How do you have the time to do everything that you do???

  3. 5 stars
    Those sliders look amazing. We haven’t done sliders in a while thinking I should add them to the menu soon. Game Day here is actually pizza party at my parents’ house….
