Devising a game plan for your Game Day party? You can't miss with traditional fare like rich mac and cheese, creamy dips, and hearty chili, but you also don't want guests to succumb to a food coma before halftime. Consider reserving space on your menu for a few healthy Game Day recipes.
We combed our collection for Game Day-worthy recipes to nourish and energize your guests instead of weighing them down. Don't worry, they're not all tofu and carrots (but maybe a few are). We offer rich dips, Tex-Mex favorites, pizza, and even sweets and a cocktail on the lighter side that, we promise, are all worth trying at least once.
