12 Game Day Ready Cocktails

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... ;)

Creamy Buffalo Ranch Potato Salad

Traditional potato salad gets a game day makeover in this Creamy Buffalo Ranch Potato Salad...

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Red Baron. The opinions and text are all mine.

When you are the parents to a little one under 3, your days of tailgating are pretty much over or at the very least are put on hold for a few years. But that certainly doesn't mean that the fun and food of football season has to come to a grinding and depressing halt, folks! Not when you could just move the tailgating to your home. ;) I mean, who says that tailgating has to happen in a parking lot anyways?

And tailgating at home doesn't have to be super time consuming or complicated either. Grab a few Red Baron, Freschetta, or Tony's pizzas, kick in a few tasty appetizers and side dishes, a dessert or two, and some fun drinks, and you are good to go!
Be sure to check out the Tailgate At Your Place virtual hub for recipes, home tailgating tips, & more to get you started.

One of my favorite go-to side dishes for a tailgate at home party is this Creamy Buffalo Ranch Potato Salad. It is super easy to make, full of flavor, and a touchdown with just about everyone...
