Game Day

Game On!

Game Day parties call for quick and easy, delicious finger foods that can easily be enjoyed without distracting you or your guests from the main event. Unfortunately, game day food too often means store bought junk foods that are high in salt and fat but low in flavor. Fresh herbs add a little class and a lot of nutrition to your game day favorites. Try Baked Parmesan Garlic Chicken Wings with fresh Rosemary, Thyme and Basil and you won't miss those bland greasy wings from last year. Or, ditch the ketchup and try Lemon Salt and Rosemary Fries, a simple and irresistable twist on the classic french fry. Got a little more time on your hands? Try our recipe for Perfect Potato Skins with fresh Chives… Yum. What time is kick off?

No Game Day event would be complete without a healthy selection of dips and salsas, and fresh herbs are a sure fire, healthy way to bring on the flavor. Creamy Basil Dressing pairs perfectly with a platter of crisp cut carrots, celery and peppers, and Baked Cheesy Caprese dip served with chips or a sliced baguette will have your guests coming back for more. Want to really make them cheer? Smoked Cheddar Southwest Dip with cilantro and spring onions is a spicy, indulgent treat that's sure to be a winner. Game on!

Baked Cheesy Caprese Dip

This is a dippable variation on a classic caprese salad (fresh tomatoes, basil and mozzarella). A provolone stands in for the traditional mozzarella in our version, though any mild melting cheese should work. As with a traditional caprese, it’s the zesty, fresh Basil that really takes center stage.

Herb and Cheese Pigs in Blankets

If you need more proof that fresh rosemary adds a touch of class to any dish, then look no further. These tasty little pastries are as much to make as they are to eat, and the addition of rosemary and thyme adds a depth of flavor not normally found in pigs-in-blankets.
