My friend, Maureen, joined me for our most recent cooking show. We prepared a few dishes that are fun to dig into when you're watching the game at home, or easy to transport if you're heading out to the stadium!
It's been a few years since we last filmed a show featuring tailgating recipes. It's only right that Maureen has been by my side for each of those shows!
It was my pleasure to join her again recently as she packed up her minivan with provisions for pre- and post-game feasts for her family and assorted guests.
You would think that the many bowls of toppings in this picture means that there is a lot of prep involved.
We've kept the prep to a minimum. Use a rotisserie chicken and pre-made pico de gallo to cut down on prep time!

Let your guests assemble their own tortillas with their choice of fillings.
Or create your own salad bowls with your custom choice of ingredients!
Another recipe with minimal prep! Buy frozen roasted corn, mix in a few additional ingredients...that's it!
I wish I had thought to take a photo of these sliders in all their ooey-gooey goodness! They are soooo good...and disappear faster than you could possibly imagine...like you think that maybe everyone will have ONE but when you're cleaning up the empty pan you realize that next time you need to allow THREE per person. They are THAT GOOD!!!
If you like carrot cake, and you like whoopie pies...give these a try!
Berries with Limoncello and mint...no written recipe needed! Just fill a bowl with assorted berries, stir in some WOW with about 1/4 cup of limoncello, and sprinkle some chopped fresh mint on top.
