Are you ready for some football? Here are over 80 Game Day Recipes Ideas to give you a little party inspiration!

Here are over 80 Game Day Recipes Ideas to give you a little party inspiration from appetizers to desserts!

Are you ready for the Super Bowl? Here are over 80 Game Day Recipes Ideas to give you a little party inspiration!

The Super Bowl is just a few short days away and is being hosted in my home state of New Jersey; just 32 miles from my home. Yes, the Super Bowl is in NJ not NY.

We Jersey folk are pretty sensitive about that sort of thing considering our two football teams (Giants and Jets) both play in our fine state and NOT in New York.

In any event, my beloved Giants are not playing in the Super Bowl this year; however, I'll still be watching the game from the comforts of my own home. 

Just a warm fire blazing and a nice home cooked meal prepared by my family to celebrate my birthday (I don't cook on my birthday...ever!). 

We'll probably have a few fun snack foods as well, but I'm not quite sure which one's they will make. So I figured I'd compile a list of my favorites to help them out.

In this post you'll find: 

  • Starters, Dips & Salsa's
  • Salads
  • Everything Chicken (fried, baked & wings)
  • Chili & Stews
  • Burgers & Sandwiches
  • Pizza & Flatbreads
  • Toppings
  • Snacks & Mini Desserts
