Although I’m a little sad that summer is coming to an end, one thing that I’m looking forward to is football season! There’s nothing like sitting down with friends to watch a game, eat your favorite snacks, and sip on a beverage or two. Since football season is right around the corner, I’m sharing some easy fall football party ideas to help you score a touchdown at your next event!

Now that the finals are over and we know which teams we’ll be cheering on, it’s time to prep the menu and dive into all of the game day party prep!
I know I’ve talked about it on the blog before, but I like to share ways to keep entertaining EASY. Who wants to spend an entire day prepping stuff in the kitchen? Not me. So today, I’m sharing a super simple recipe that is oh, so yummy and will score you major points with the football fans in your life!
These crockpot salsa chicken sliders are a breeze to make and you can prep an entire baking sheet full of them at one time, which is great for a large game day party! Plus, with the benefit of using a crock pot, you can fix it and forget it…at least for a few hours 😉
The big game is coming up, snacks are all the rage (but, really, when are they not?!) and Superbowl parties are about to take over our Sunday. If you’re heading to a game day party this year, score a touchdown with a host or hostess gift wrapped in game day perfection.
Today’s DIY is a cinch to put together and wins, hands down, in the cute category. Plus, who wouldn’t be obsessed receiving a gift packaged like this? (If they’re not, they don’t deserve it…am I right?)
Get ready to win the gifting game with sandwich gift wrapping!
Another playoff weekend is over and we are that much closer to finding out who’s headed to the Superbowl this year. The hubs is the only one left with his team still in the running, but with a house full of football fans, I’m already starting to think about what to serve for our game day menu. As much as the Superbowl is known for football and the actual game, it’s also known for parties and food!
I like to pick options that are festive and fun, but that won’t take too much time to put together either. It’s not fun to spend the entire day in the kitchen and miss out on the game, or commercials. 😉
If you’re planning to serve a crowd this year, today’s recipe is for you! I’m stealing some inspiration from a famous Philadelphia sandwich and making some Philly cheese-steak nachos!
The big game is less than a month away and you might be one of the few that is still anxiously waiting to see if your favorite team will make it in or not. You might also be one of the few that isn’t waiting for anything other than the delicious snacks and fun parties that comes along with game day. Whichever you happen to be, today’s post is perfect for your football get together with friends in the next few weeks.
If you’re hosting a party soon, thinking of all of the details can be daunting, but I’m here to help with fun and super easy penalty flag favors that are sure to appeal to the fans at your event and are also a breeze to put together!

One of my favorites things about Fall is definitely football. My entire family crowds around the couch on Sundays, we eat lots of snacks, and lounge around in sweats and comfy clothes all day. (What’s not to love about that?)
We all root for different teams, so there’s a bit of competitive spirit going around too. 😉
With the holidays right around the corner, the big game will be here before you know it and I’m always on the hunt for new and fun ideas to celebrate.
Regardless of what team you or your family cheer for, you still need a few people to keep the crowd under control and make things fair, which is exactly what today’s post is all about!
I’m making some adorable OREO Cookie Ball referee pops!
Did you catch these cute little guys making an appearance in yesterday’s cocktail post?
They kinda steal the show, right?
I picked up the adorable foam fingers from the Spritz party line at Target. They were meant to be finger puppets, but I had a better idea.
They are beyond SIMPLE to put together and took all of 5 seconds.
All you need:
The foam fingers come prepped with small little openings in the bottom.
Add some hot glue around the top of your wooden candy stick.
Stick the top of the wooden candy skewer into the bottom of the foam finger. (I pressed the edges of the finger together a bit to prevent the glue from hitting the edges).
Press the foam finger around the wooden skewer ball top to adhere well.
I told you…5 seconds. You only have to wait for your glue to heat up and then you’re done.
Super simple and oh, so adorable.
TOUCHDOWN!
The big game is Sunday and I’m not sure about you, but I haven’t planned a single thing yet. I’m still recovering from the Raven’s loss.
One thing I do know…I’ll be serving these tangy Superbowl Michelada cocktails!
A bit of spice, a salty rim, and the cutest foam finger addition will make any football fan cheer. (More on those foam finger stir sticks tomorrow).
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up your own batch:
1). Put your salt onto a flat plate. Using a lime, rub juice around the rim of your glass. Dip the wet glass into the salt to rim your glass.
2). Fill your glass about 1/3 full with the Clamato juice. Add the splashes of hot sauce, worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Add your fresh lime juice.
3). Fill the rest of your glass with ice cold beer.
4). Add ice, if needed, and garnish with lime wedge.
I really love this cocktail because it’s really easy and fast to throw together, which means I can enjoy the halftime show without wasting all of my time in the kitchen!
Check back tomorrow to see how simple it was to make those little stir sticks too!
