The NFL season is about to get underway! I was able to implement a rule in my house for Vikings game days. It's been in place for years and works well for me.

Game days we will have 'Football' appetizers and food.

Some of the things I make on these days include:

Buffalo wings, Brats, Sloppy Joes, Hormel chili and Nacho cheese chip dip, homemade chili, grilled mini-cheeseburgers and french fries, homemade soft pretzels with rock salt and mustard.

Things my wife doesn't get a vote for on game day include: Salmon or any fish except hot and spicy grilled shrimp, any kind of salad (chicken, tuna, veggie), 'good for your health' food, most gourmet recipe stuff we dabble in on other days.

We have some fun with this. But I need more ideas for game day food. Especially good appetizers. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Oh and one more thing ... Go Purple!
