Kick-Off Counterfits for Any Party
By Calli Rhoades
Whether you are planning to party for a big game or you just like to have a few friends over to watch your favorite college team make the march, good food is a must-have for game day celebrations. You could always order from your favorite restaurant, but then you are paying a ton for food that will likely be cold by the time your guests get their game-day hands on them! You could pick it up right before game time, but we all know if you miss kick-off, there's going to be trouble!
The perfect solution puts the control in your hands. You can enjoy all the same fan favorites on your own terms, cooked in your own kitchen. Here are a few recipes to get you ready for game day, but if there is something specific you are hoping to snack on, I recommend simply googling it with "copy cat" in the search terms. You will be amazed at what recipes you can find out there.
