Game Day Small Bites!

This year the big game is all about New York because it's taking place in the home stadium of 2 New York teams. I'm a New Yorker, so this is a huge deal! I don't know about you, but to me, the food served during these football games is just as important as the game! So today I'm sharing some tried and true small bite snack recipes that have a New York theme. The recipes also have a RITZ cracker theme because some of my fellow food blogger friends have created these recipes for RITZ. So these recipes have not only been tried by the creator but also by the people at Ritz! The Ritz company loved the recipes so much that they posted them on Allrecipes.com.

Meatball Parmesan Dip

Meatball Parmesan Dip
This is the kind of dip that makes you want to just keeping eating it until it's all gone! But at parties that is frowned upon! And if you love meatball hero's but hate how messy they are to eat, you're going to love this dip! The only messy part is when you start licking the plate clean after it's all gone...another thing that is frowned upon at parties!

I served this with very thinly sliced, toasted, italian bread. Just lay out all the slices on a cookie sheet and put it under the broiler for about 3 minutes. Keep an eye on it because the bread browns quickly during the last 30 seconds. This recipe is perfect for 4 people but can easily be doubled.

New York City Style Game Day Food!

Okay, let me start by saying I'm not a sports fan at all...gasp! But I do love going to those game day parties to munch on great finger foods! My hubby is a huge sports fan and he told me that this year the football game is all about New York! YAY...I'm a New Yorker, so now I have two things in common with 'The Big Day'...great food and my state! I currently live in the suburbs of NY, but it's only a one hour drive to the city. We go there often and love all the fun things to do in NYC. But the best part for me is the amazing food! One of my favorite New York City foods is a push-cart hot dog with onions from the hot dog vendors on the streets of Manhattan. You can find them on just about every corner! I decided to re-create those hot dog onions in my own kitchen! I tried many different ingredients until I was able to get the exact taste of the NYC hot dog onions that I crave and love!

Buffalo Style Oven Baked Ribs

Buffalo Style Oven Baked Ribs
I'm sure you've heard of Buffalo Chicken Wings. Well, I decided to use the same recipe to make my Buffalo Ribs! It worked perfectly! As a matter of fact, I like these Buffalo Ribs more than the chicken wing version!

I used country ribs, which are much more meaty, but you can use any cut of ribs you want. My recipe has a mild to medium amount of spiciness because my kids can't handle too much heat! But just add more hot pepper sauce to kick up the heat level. You can even dip these ribs in a creamy blue cheese dressing just like you do with the chicken wings. I dipped mine in creamy ranch dressing! And don't forget the celery sticks like I did! Give these Buffalo Ribs a try! I know I'll be making these many more times!

Mexican Meatloaf

Mexican Meatloaf

I love to take a classic meal and give it a slight twist! And since Mexican food is one of my favorites I decided to give plain old meatloaf some south of the border flair! I even topped it with a Mexican style gravy that I call Mexican Pink Sauce.
