Stay Safe Fit to Survive Tailgate Party
 

Tailgate Party

Get pumped up for the big game with a tailgate party. Our recipes block the fat, intercept the hassle and score a touchdown with any fan (or fanatic!).

Grill on the Gridiron

Fire up the grill for delicious, low-fat cooking. Plus save time by making these dishes the night before and having them finish marinating in the cooler while you're on your way to the game. Use disposable containers — that way there aren't any dishes to wash later.

Try Maple Barbecued Chicken for a new twist on an old classic. The maple syrup gives the barbecue sauce a rich flavor that's perfect for outdoor eating. If you're in the mood for a steak, our Steak Teriyaki Tailgate Style will satisfy with its tangy marinade. Vegetarians and meat-eaters alike will beat the pass rush to get to the Grilled Portobello Sandwiches. Tailgate Chicken Teriyaki is a crowd-pleaser, too.


Take the Chill Off

All you need is a portable butane burner or a thermos to warm up with chili before the big game. Give ground buffalo a try with our Buffalo Chili with Chipotles. Ground buffalo is low in fat and has terrific flavor — it's not at all gamey and you should be able to find it at most supermarkets. Caribbean Black Bean Soup will keep you toasty during those late fall games.


No Special Teams (or equipment)

You won't need any special equipment because you can prepare these dishes at home and enjoy them when you get to the field. Spicy Jamaican Jerk Chicken will take your mind off the cold, especially when you team it with Three Bean Salad and Festive Rice Salad. Orzo Salad with Grilled Shrimp features an unbeatable lineup of orzo pasta, shrimp, black olives and tomatoes.


On the Sidelines

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy side dishes of grains and legumes like the ones that star in Wild Rice Salad and Brown Rice with Crunchy Vegetables. You won't want to pass on Marinated Coleslaw — it's a match for barbecue.
