Party Panache, Are You Ready for some Football!!!
Time to gear up your game with decor
and dining delights! You’ve got to keep your strength up, football is a strenuous game!
These are easy to assemble crowd-pleasers, guaranteed to get you out of the kitchen fast!
#1 Top Dogs on a Roll or for you Alabama fans, Red & White Tidy Bites– Dinner rolls with mini smokies and caramelized onions and sweet hot mustard
#2 Hissy Fit Dip with sausage, sour cream and cheese~as legend has it, a Southern Belle had a “hissy fit” when this dip ran out before she got any…
#3 Apricot Pineapple Gorgonzola Cheese Spread is full of bacon too, making it a sweet and savory delight that you can whip up in minutes
#4 Puff Pastry Bites~ salami, cheese, puff pastry…need I say more?
#5 Bleu Cheese Bruschetta with Apple and Bacon great for fall with crisp apples and cranberries
#6 Christmas Chex Add your team colors with candy, available at Party City in many colors. Check Target for jelly bellies by the pound, and Fresh Market has lots of fun candy in colors by weight also
#7 Apple Walnut Pie Fries Serve these with some applesauce and caramel sauce for a sweet treat
#8 Tiger Bones aka Caribbean Chicken Drumettes
#9 Cheese Pumpkins These are a cute fall garnish as well as a fun treat to eat, and even the kiddos can make them
Make sure you have plenty of team spirit around
Flowers are a great way to show your colors!
Some burlap ribbon, wood letters and a football make an easy and colorful wreath
And a football themed tree makes quite a statement on your table or buffet, and you can’t beat a dedicated tablescape like this Roll Tide Roll!
or Ole Miss
Team dishware is widely available to serve your goodies
It’s fun to add place card holders to your game day table with creative team related names
Like Champion Chicken, Tiger Tail Bites, Red & White Tidy Bites, Tiger Meltdown Dip
When you are planning your menu don’t forget about the recently posted
NOW you are ready for some FOOTBALL!!!
Note:
I got the football ornaments at Hobby Lobby last year in their Christmas section which is available in their stores now
Wal Mart and Party City carry a lot of regional team party supplies

Game day and football season is a dining extravaganza at your house Jenna! Love your creative bites and names of your noshes 🙂
You know I’m ready for some football! Love your themed table and menu Jenna! I just might need to try some Hissy Fit Dip:@)
Thank you for all the nice recipes. Have a Fun Week.
Hi Jenna – I’m so ready to cheer – GO TEAM! Love this! Hugs, Holly
Here we go again…thinking with that same brain!!!! I guess we’re both feelin’ that football spirit this week!
Man oh man, you came up with a lot of good (and easy!) nibbles for the game!!! I’m going to have to try to make that Hissy Fit Dip just because of the name! 🙂 (I didn’t know other people actually use that term!)
I went to my very first ever college football game this past Saturday. Lincoln University Tigers vs Langston Blue Tigers. The game was played at our NFL stadium here. It was fun. Different because the rules of college football are a little different and there are no challenges on calls, but still…fun! I even bought pom-poms in Lincoln’s school colors for my Mom, my sister and myself to take to the game and cheer on my Mom’s alma mater!
FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Wow, you got in the spirit all right! Football is so much fun, though we much prefer the comfort of the big screen and a group of friends in the Man Cave rather than the hustle and bustle of actually going to the game! Easier to sip and nibble too 🙂
What an amazing table and food design! I’d love to have been at that party!
Yes, we tend to go all out around here! Thanks for visiting~
This all sounds fabulous. Could you come to my house and come up with some AU dishes?
Ha! We actually root for Auburn most of the time too, my SIL is a big AU fan~
Roll Tide Roll!!! Love all of your recipes and I’ll be trying some of these this weekend. Have a great week!!!
I’m a lover of all themed parties and this is just amazing!!! Love all the details and the food!
Thanks so much! We love parties around here!
