35 Game Day Snacks to Get You Through Football Season

Do you anxiously anticipate football season? While I’m not a huge football fan, my husband is, and the only way I can get through football season is with the delicious eats and entertaining that comes along with the territory! I’ve rounded up 35 recipes to get you inspired in the kitchen for game day!

I’ll never forget the look on my husband’s face when I told him that football season wasn’t at the top of the list of things I look forward to. He lives for football season, the NFL draft, and Sunday afternoons glued to the TV.

Although in my defense, I didn’t grow up watching football and I never went to a school (including college) that had a football team, so the sport just wasn’t one I was too familiar with.

When my husband and I started dating, I did get a little excited about football season. But not for the games; for the game day snacks and entertaining that comes along with it! I’ll even admit, I registered for a football-shaped wood cutting board hoping that if I could bring a little bit of the game day spirit into the kitchen it might give me something to look forward to!

While you might not find me glued to the TV, you will probably find me in the kitchen serving up game day snacks, which is why I’m bringing you 35 recipes from some of my foodie friends to get you in the spirit!
