Asian Chili & Garlic Pork Sliders

These super flavorful Asian Chili & Garlic Pork Sliders are sure to be the MVP of your next game day get-together.








Of all the game day recipes I have posted to this blog over the years, I have never once posted a sliders recipe.... that is, until today. And I have no clue why it has taken me this long! 





I mean, sliders make the perfect football food. They fit in one hand leaving one hand free for making gestures of victory or disgust during the game. ;) 





You can pack a ton of flavor into these tiny burgers. And they are perfectly snack-sized so you that can save room for the other game day goodies being served like hot wings and chips & dip. That is game day food perfection in my books, folks.





These Asian Chili & Garlic Pork Sliders are actually inspired by some of the flavors that I used in these Slow Cooker Banh Mi Pork Sandwiches that I posted to the blog in October 2016. And those pulled pork sandwiches were inspired by the Banh Mi pork sliders I made with some of my fellow food bloggers while attending the Pass the Pork tour in Minnesota in September of that same year. 





Isn't it awesome how recipe inspiration can work sometimes? :)

Score a touchdown at that next tailgate or game day party with these 12 football themed dessert recipes.








My most favorite time of the year is officially here, folks! Fall has arrived, the leaves are starting to turn, & college football season is in full swing. 





The start of college football season also means plenty of tailgating & game day parties on the weekends. And what is a tailgate or football party without the food- am I right? ;)





Can I get a woot-woot from all of you out there who only watch the game for the food & the beer? (Woot-wooting over here! ;) )





I know that most of us have it covered when it comes to the savory stuff. Nachos, buffalo wings, & pizza are usually staples on any respectable game day menu. But what about the sweet treats to celebrate that win or to ease the blow of a big loss? 





No worries because I have got you covered with these 12 touchdown scoring dessert recipes that I sharing with you all today! :) Each & every one of the sweet treat recipes below are either football shaped or football themed making them the perfect addition to your next game day spread...

Forget the usual six packs! Quench your thirst while watching the big game with these 12 Game Day Ready Cocktails.







I may not be into football as much I used to be, but I do know one thing- there are some pretty big games on this weekend. ;)  From the NFL playoff games to the NCAA National Championship game on Monday, this weekend was made for football, folks.  





And while I do not have any teams near and dear to my heart playing this weekend (my husband's beloved Steelers have already been knocked out), I have a feeling that my home will still end up being all football all weekend. 





Not that I am complaining. As long as we are serving tasty food and good drinks, I don't care which teams are playing or who's winning. 
Who's with me on this one? ;)





I think everyone always think of the game day food. They search their favorite food blogs and Pinterest for recipes in advance, make a plan with the other party guests to see who is bringing what, and so on. But how about those game day sips?   





Don't just pick up a couple of six packs this weekend!  Instead make watching that big game fun and thirst quenching with these 12 Game Day Ready Cocktails from some of my favorite food bloggers... ;)
