Default Bar Food Substitutes - Need suggestions

OK girls...

With football season here, Sundays just got a little more challenging around the house. We have the NFL Ticket, so we watch at home, but we often have people over. I am known for my cooking, especially the appetizers. I don't mind cooking them for everyone else, but I need to have a substitute (which is why I came up with the BBQ Pitza). But I need your help. It just doesn't seem right to be eating a salad while watching football.

If anyone has any recipes that they can revamp for the good stuff and the appetizers that you would get when you're out at a sports bar, or even any other good apps, please post in the appetizer thread.

Thanks!!!!

You could do crab toppers

Mixed crab meat and rf cheddar cheese melt that the microwave so it become a spread and then put it on english muffins. Broil them for about 15 minutes in the oven. These are a big hit. Cut them into 1/4.

You could also make toasted pita or tortilla chips. There is a carb ender for nachos in the purple book.

I say to heck with your reputation and serve up some crudite!! My COD posted a 5 layer dip on their bulletin board today that looked tasty. They said it was in the cookbook. Do you have the book? If not, I'll post a couple from there.

I have it, and I made it for lunch last week, actually! It was yummy.

Keep the ideas coming!

... but crudite just doesn't seem like football food!!!

Cassi - I'll do some research around here - there's bound to be plenty of recipes for appetizers. I just didn't think to look at that section when I was posting recipes!
My gang enjoys white chicken chili and that's pretty much on LAWL. Anyway, I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Got to leave for church, we're doing live praise and worship tonight because of a guest speaker.
Hang on!

Cassi - A couple suggestions:

you can "tailgate" in your own yard, and make hamburgers (LAWL friendly of course) -- BBQ Cheddar Burger, Mushroom & Swiss Burger

BBQ Hamburgers in the crockpot
LAWL Veal Goulash
LAWL Buffalo Chicken Tenders

I came up with baked mozzarella nuggets too.

Take a string cheese and cut it into 1" pieces.
Dip in egg substitute and then roll in LAWL breadcrumbs.
Bake at 400 for probably 7 minutes.

I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS YET! I am still in the experimental stage. When I have it worked out, I will post.
