The big game day has come and gone, but there's always the next event to celebrate with friends and family and around here food is a big deal. For boys, food seems to be a large part of any event and they look forward to it immensely.

For me, keeping it yummy and simple is always the biggest factor in any game-day menu. Here's a few tips to make preparation even simpler.

Use a Crockpot.

This is absolutely mandatory around here. In fact, crock pots are so useful for holidays and game day we went out and bought a great unit that has three crock pots in it. They are attractive, convenient and one pot does it all from cooking, to keeping warm and serving. 

Plan Ahead

Don't get too very extravagant, you'd be surprised just how amazing things can turn out with just a little prep and a few ingredients. By planning ahead you don't have to worry about missing ingredients or last minute trips to the store. Keep in mind there's almost always a simple way to improvise if you do end up forgetting something.

Keep it Simple

When you're entertaining a crowd all too often as the hostess we get way too caught up in wanting it to be fancy and impressive. On game-day this is absolutely not necessary! Break out the everyday dishes, the simpler the better actually as game-day tends to be casual and messy. Keep it as simple as possible for not only serving and eating, but for clean up as well!
