The goal of the Stadium Journey Pro Football Cookbook is to provide inspiration to fans who want to take their next party up a notch. With recipes inspired by each team of pro football, you’ll be able to throw a party with dishes that perfectly compliment the combatants of the big game, whether you are tailgating or hosting a party at home.
For each team in the NFL we created an appetizer, entrée, and cocktail that is inspired by the team or the region. This gives fans an opportunity to create a dish specific to each game.
Sunday night’s game features the New York Giants versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Our Giants-inspired recipes include the perfect Brooklyn-style Reuben, pepperoni pizza bread, and a cocktail we call the “Lawrence Taylor Iced Tea.”
But since the game is in Philly, we’ve chosen to share our recipe for Cream Cheese and Chorizo Stuffed Jalapenos, and our cocktail, the Midnight Green Mojito. We hope you’ll give them a try.
