Sunday Football Week 1: Appetizers

My friends Rob and Tisha are awesome.  

They just spent a gazillion dollars and 6+ months of their lives on their basement. All for me.  Well, me and about 15 other people (but mostly me) - all so we could enjoy our Sunday Football.

In our group of friends, we have fans representing the Colts, Giants, 49ers, Bengals, Redskins, Ravens, Bears, and Steelers.  So Rob and Tisha set up 5 TVs in their house and play all of the games - all day long.  It's basically heaven.

We also have a food "theme" each week.  Last year we had fry-day (all fried foods), sushi day, a Southern boil, and mini-food day - among others.  This year will be bigger and better.

I'll be sharing our food selection each week.  Please try to contain your drooling.  And if you live in Indianapolis - drop on by for the best Sunday Football get together on this planet.  Boom.

Week 1:  Appetizers

We've started off the year with a simple theme.  The basement is still undergoing it's final touches, so we decided to keep thing simple to break it in.  Also, please make note of the bar in the picture above - we made that.  It does not suck.

Appetizers in attendance:

Beer Cheese Dip
Homemade Pretzel bites
Guacamole
Chips and Queso
Bacon wrapped little smokies
Crab-stuffed mushrooms
Pizza rolls
Rosemary bread

Of course I made the beer dip with Yuengling.  And it was amazing.  Here's the recipe.

Also made soft pretzel bites - super yummy.  Here's the recipe (we doubled it).

I don't have the recipes for the other apps, but if you're interested let me know and I will get them!

Be sure to stay tuned for next week:  Taco/Nacho Bar

It will be spectacular.
