So, who’s it going to be this year: the Giants or the Patriots? It’s the question that’s on all of our minds over in the Test Kitchen. To prepare, we thought it would be helpful to put together a list of some of Paula’s favorite recipes for watching the big game. Now Paula isn’t too keen on watching sports, but she always loves to entertain, and what a better way than when you’ve got your family and friends hootin’ and hollerin’ at a television.

Whether you’re a sports fan, or just looking for a few tasty appetizers, we recommend saving a few of these recipes. They’re sure to score big at your next event. (And don’t miss more of our game day favorites!)
