The Big Game is going to be here before you know it. Mr. Flavor Mosaic has already been telling me about the football schedule and all the what-ifs if this team wins then they play that team. He takes his football very seriously.
For me since our team is out of the playoffs, I mostly enjoy watching the Big Game at our homegating party by visiting with our friends, enjoying good food, and watching the new TV commercials. While I enjoy delicious party appetizers, I enjoy them even more if they are an easy, no-fuss, no-stress party appetizers like these Roasted Red Pepper Ricotta Crostini.
