It’s our Thursday Night Social time  ~~~

Happy “Friday Eve” ~ hope you’re having a GREAT week! This is my favorite cocktail hour, and here are some things I’ve seen this week that looked especially good for this big game day weekend!

As usual, let’s start with a cocktail, shall we? I love a half tea/half lemonade Arnold Palmer anytime, but for this football weekend, here’s an adult version with Citron vodka – called the John Daly ~ and here’s the link from mixthatdrink.com ~~~

I recently shared my current fave beers and game day bluwatereat recipes a few weeks ago here, and of course Bluwaterguy’s {not} your basic chili last week, so we’ve got a running start for the big game. Here are a few more for good measure ~~~

 

Lots of friends LOVE deviled eggs and these Bacon Jalapeño Deviled Eggs would get their attention from realhousemoms.com ~~~

Oh my goodness, make everyone happy with a tray of these Easy Potato Skins from iheartnaptime.net ~~~

Every party needs a hot and hearty dip, so grab a baguette and make up this Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Dip from lemontreedwelling.com ~~~

And this is my favorite way to do a Veg and Dip set-up for a party – in an ice bowl rather than a tray. It takes up less room on the table and is easy to keep presentable as the party goes on. This pretty photo is from listotic.com and I have a similar bowl from amazon.com ~~~

So, looks like a party to me! A beverage that works with and without booze, salty pretzel snacks, deviled eggs, potato skins, hot dip, and cold veg bowl ~ come on over!  There are more bluwaterdrink and bluwatereat ideas on my Pinterest boards too ~~~

I do love a big game day spread and I hope these give you some ideas for whatever you have coming up. Hope to see you next week for our Thursday Night Social ~~~
