Grey Cup Party Time in Canada!

[Gerry]

Grey Cup this year will see Saskatchewan football fans out in full force this weekend as Regina hosts the provinces biggest party, Canada's 101st Grey Cup with the Saskatchewan Roughriders v the Hamilton Tiger Cats. http://regina.ctvnews.ca/regina-ready-t ... -1.1549864

Planning ahead with make aheads and potluck dishes are a great way to plan your football party, no one wants to be in the kitchen and miss the touch downs! Come on in and share your Grey Cup party plans and favourite recipes. Photos most welcome.

At our house I like to plan for easy appetizers, cheese trays, veggie and fruit platters and easy to make ahead pot luck dishes to share with family and friends. Sharing some of our favourite recipes for Grey Cup party time.

Vegetable and dip offerings



A must make at our house is a Saskatchewan Roughrider golden oldie courtesy of Tom Whitehouse. Super easy to make and always makes for an empty platter. http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/uncle- ... sauce-2150

Another favourite is taste temping Jalapeno Pita Bites. The mini pita pockets are usually found near the bread aisle. http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/jalape ... bites-2216



And of course 'Grey Cup Natchos' always a crowd pleaser.

If you have an after the game evening planned a potluck easy to serve supper party makes entertaining a crowd easy on the hostess. When we gather at our house one of the most requested is sweet and sour meatballs, they can be prepared well ahead and kept warm in a crock pot.

A couple of delicious golden oldies that are a given on the serving trays at large gatherings here on the prairies. These two are among my favourites to serve to family and friends when we gather for special occasions.
