Want to go beyond snacks and munchies during your game day celebration? Instead of dialing for pizza, treat your team to a homemade dinner or buffet of heavy hor d’oeuvres. From artisanal sandwiches to simple pizza selections, the following menu items will quell hunger pains without being too high-brow for the face-painted set.

Sideline Sides

We’ve also found classic potato salad packs a punch next to barbecue chicken or a pulled beef sandwich.

Keep dessert simple by opting for a make ahead freezer pie, or easy pick-up bites such as cupcakes or cookies. We are especially fond of the Double Chocolate S’mores Whoopie Pies from Stephanie Wise of Girl Verus Dough which are creative blends of two fantastic desserts.
