Decor for Homegating

If you have followed me you know I love my bar cart, balloons and printables.  This homegating party is not different.  I picked red and black for my favorite college team.  I added in a pink because you know I love pink!!!

Add a football banner, sign and flag and lots of snacks and you are ready!!!

Menu for Homegating

We love using food as part of our decor.  Our menu for this homegating included:

• Totino’s™ Pizza Rolls™ and tacos using Old El Paso™ Stand N Stuff Shells on a football snack board
• Snacks: Chex Mix™, Bugles™, Gardettos™
• Football Snack board with Game Day Chex Mix™ made with with Corn Chex™, Rice Chex™ and Wheat Chex™, and veggie chips and broccoli surrounding it.
• Football brownies with Betty Crocker™ Fudge Brownie Mix

We found everything at our local Walmart. Plus, find more recipe and ideas here!

Game Day Chex Mix™

To keep with the game day theme I cut a plate into thin strips and then taped it together in the shape of a football.  I added the Game Day Chex Mix™ into the football shape. Then cut a cheese stick to create the laces.  Go around the outside of the football with green treats and you have a game day platter ready to enjoy!!
