With the NFL Playoffs this weekend and the Superbowl just a few weeks away, I decided to take my love of board making and give it a football twist!
I love the idea of putting all my favorite tailgate foods together on one huge platter and serving it all at once while watching the game. I like to have something for everyone (including the kiddos!)
The hardest part about making this board was editing down the number of foods I wanted to have on it. Tailgate food might be my favorite thing to eat, so when I compiled a list of 20+ foods I would want to see on my board, I knew a little editing was needed….here was my initial list:
1. Pigs in a Blanket – served with mustard and ketchup
2. Pizzas
3. Samosas
4. Sweet Potato Fries
5. Buffalo Chicken Bites with Celery and Carrots
6. Buffalo Wings served with Blue Cheese Dressing
7. Pretzels
8. Crispy Chicken served with BBQ Sauce
9. Queso Dip with Tortilla Chips
10. Cheeses
11. Salsa & Chips
12. Mac and Cheese
13. Sliders
14. Onion Dip and Chips
15. Chicken Quesadillas with Sour Cream
16. Guacamole
17. Italian Hero Sandwiches
18. 7 Layer Nacho Dip
19. Bacon Wrapped Dates
20. Candied Bacon
21. Popcorn
22. Chex Mix
23. Pirate's Booty
There were a few other ideas but I decided I wanted the board to be of all frozen foods or simple to prepare foods so we went with the following…..
