SuperBowl 54 is just around the corner and getting together with family and friends is always a lot of fun. If you are planning on an impromptu get together, but do not want to deal with the hassle of prepping for hours, we got you. Here are some ways to please the crowd while making sure you can spend all your time getting your gear on and rooting for your team (and checking out the coolest new commercials)!
First thing to consider is catering. There are plenty of restaurants around that you can call up or login online and just order your choice of food trays. Think sub sandwiches, ribs and wings, pizza trays or even Mexican. You may have to pick it up or you might be able to even have it delivered. Plan at least 1 day in advance for ordering or otherwise you might be waiting for hours for your food to be ready if you order on Superbowl day. A little planning will put yourself on the top of the list so you can get it when you want. Let’s face it, you know there are plenty of planners out there who called a month ago. If this is the way your brain works… you just need to rub off on the rest of us!
If you want to do it yourself then here are some tips and time savers.
1) Do not wait until the last day to go grocery shopping, it will be so busy you will spend extra time just waiting in line.
2) Order your groceries online and pick them up or have them delivered. Nearly all grocers do this now. It may cost you a few bucks, but it will save you so much time.
3) Make things you can prepare in advance. Think wraps, sub sandwiches, crockpot dishes like meatballs and sub breads, pulled pork, as well as dips with chips, guacamole, 7 layer dips.
4) Make sure you are stocked up on all the beverages. You most likely know what your crowd likes, but if you don’t get an assortment. A combination of beer, hard seltzer and wine will do the trick for the alcohol drinking crowd. Don’t forget to get some N/A beverages and even some light choices for those still abiding by their New Year Resolutions, click here low-cal drinking options.
Most important is to just have fun with your friends and family! Pull out a PortoVino wine bag and pour a drink or 2. It is all about being together and enjoying the good times!
Go Team Go!
