It’s that time of year again, when fans and non-fans alike are filling out their brackets, TVs around the country are tuned into the tournament, and America’s love of sports reigns supreme. And to add to the celebratory feelings around this annual ritual is the fact that this is the 75th anniversary of this much-loved college basketball tourney.
We believe any sports-watching session is made better with the addition of cheer-worthy food that’s fun to eat and satisfying. Just make sure there’s plenty of it, along with a variety of beverages to suit everyone’s tastes.
Antipasto Kabobs would be a treat for grownups; made with tortellini pasta, meat and cheese, they’re almost a meal in themselves. And you can keep little ones happy with cute net baskets filled with rounds of cheeses, meats, and some round mini-crackers. Put a kid-sized basketball hoop where they can practice their rim shot with a soft spongy toy basketball.
When the final buzzer sounds and the cheering subsides, be sure to take a bow for your Most Valuable Party Planner role.
