Super Bowl Party Tips
- Plan your menu ahead of time. You can prepare many of these appetizers and party food ahead of time. Some can stored in an airtight container for a few days at room temperature or in the refrigerator, and some can even be frozen, according to recipe directions.
- Prep your ingredients as much as possible. Once you have decided on the snacks you are going to serve, prepare as much as you can in advance, whether that is chopping ingredients or prepping the dish and storing in the refrigerator until ready for the oven. Any little bit that you can prepare in advance will make things much less stressful when you just want to kick up your feet and enjoy the game.
- Set the table the night before. Take out the special party serving dishes, festive napkins and whatever else you need to set up your snack table the night before. It's one less thing to worry about on Super Bowl Sunday.
