Getting ready for the big game? I'm sharing over 100 mouthwatering vegetarian game day recipes that you and your guest will love, everything from appetizers to entrees to desserts!
I'm not the biggest sports fan, although I'm from Wisconsin, so I definitely bleed a little green and gold. When it comes to game day, I'm really all about the food! And as someone who's not really into sports, I sure do have a lot of vegetarian game day recipes in my archives. I may not be the loudest fan, but I make a mean dip!
Since game day food tends to be a little meat centric, I thought it would be fun to gather a bunch of vegetarian game day recipes that everyone will love (veggie lover or not)! You'll find everything here from appetizer to desserts.
Whether you're a vegetarian or vegan yourself, serving someone who is, or just want to try something new, you'll definitely find tons of mouthwatering football party food ideas!
