Game Plan for Game Day

Game day gatherings make for easy entertaining occasions! The agenda is a given - the big game.
The invites are casual - a call or text message. The food is easy, made ahead, and packed with flavor!

IN THIS ISSUE, we help you put together a game plan for game day with some fun variations on some standard fare. Always a favorite, guacamole tops the pre-game list. We offer a quick primer on working with avocados, then propose a series of fresh salsas. We finish with a halftime chili that's hot, hearty, and satisfying. Game on!

Cookbook Review
Fan Fare: A Playbook of Great Recipes for Tailgating or Watching the Game at Home by Debbie Moose. Published by Harvard Common Press, Boston, MA. Copyright 2007.
Cook Book
Not just for football fans, but for watching any sport, and for anyone who enjoys combining the main event with some convivial entertaining. The author provides a wide range of recipes for enjoying the competition at home, or at the venue - appetizers, snacks, soups, entrees, sides, and desserts. The recipes are simple, easily accomplished, and, most importantly, tasty! Ms. Moose offers a generous number of tips for making your sports entertaining a touchdown success every time. With her "Extra Points" recipe feature, she provides valuable information on steps that may be done ahead of time. The nature of this cookbook makes it perfect inspiration for developing avid sports fans into adept game day chefs, too!

Enjoy the fun and excitement of game day. Good luck to your favorite team!
