16 recipe ideas for game nights

Yes, Super Bowl or hockey nights are about the game, but they’re also all about the snacks.

Let’s face it, finger food is often the main attraction. Simply lay the dishes out on the living room table or  throw ’em on the counter, and let people graze as they watch. No matter the outcome of the game, with these dishes, you’ll be a winner.

Salami and cheese calzones
