Well it’s almost here. All of the excitement leading up to the last game of the season, the Super Bowl. Have you picked out your gluten free Super Bowl recipes yet? Just in case you have not I’ve got you covered. The football teams I really follow during the main season are not in the big game this year but I always have a team I’m rooting for. This year it’s the Green Bay Packers.
While watching the game we also like to graze and eat a little something each quarter. This is where the menu gets to play it’s part. When you are thinking about your game day menu think about how you like to eat. Do you like to get a plate, fill it up, eat and then that’s it for the rest of the game? Maybe two small meals, one at the beginning and one at half time. What do you think about sweets for the game? Do you like to have one big dessert or do you like snack size treats?
If you’re looking to recreate the foods sold at the perspective team’s stadium here are the two favorites:
First you can have this towering sandwich which includes capicola, provolone cheese, fresh-cut French fries, coleslaw, and tomatoes served on fresh Italian bread. Not gluten or dairy free but some stack! Easily made gluten free.
Or if you’re a Packers fan try this Johnsonville brat topped with savory house-made kraut. Again not gluten free but they look so pretty. You can make just a few changes to make these puppies gluten free.
You may even be inspired to build your food into a football stadium.
Thanks for sharing your stadium Queen of Sports.
It looks like this first one is made with twinkies, cheese, chips and dip and maybe some sausage.
The next one adds in potato chips and rice crispy treats. Both look really cool and lots of calories and you’ll probably need some Tums after digging in. I’m not sure how many people these serve but I’m guessing an average size party.
But my favorite stadium of food was shown in a commercial for the Honda CRV. They reconstructed the two tier Soldier Field and I think it could feed a whole football team.
I’m wondering if these really cool football fields that are made from junkfood could actually be made from real food that was actually healthy? Oh I’m seeing a challenge here. I think next year we’ll have a contest for making a football field from healthy food.
But back to this year. I have gathered a ton of recipes here for you. Some are from this blog and others are from both gluten free and non gluten free blogs. I hope you have a great day and enjoy the game.
So who’s going to win, Packers or Steelers?
Here are a few recipes I’ve shared in the past which work great for game day:

Phew! What an awesome round-up!! If I do succumb to the pressures of hosting a SuperBowl Party, I will definitely be making my menu off of this list!! I am hoping that I will be able to duck out of a major soiree but maybe I can make some things for my fam!
How about I cook and bring the food to your house. Your set up sounds great.
I know where I'm coming for ideas, great list! And you're cheering for the Packers? My kind of girl! GO PACK GO!
So what do you think the winning score will be? They're saying it will be won by a field goal. I'd love to hear what your Packers food will be. Go Pack Go.
This is a great selection of game day foods, Diane!! Thanks for pulling it all together.
Thank you for your help!
We like to snack throughout the game, which turns into a meal in itself. Those Bratwursts have me drooling, but I think I'd rather Italian sausages. Thanks for the great idea for my own menu. Now to decide which recipes to post on my own blog! 🙂 Great blog you have!
OMG on those stadium platters! They are really something. A challenge next year? Hmmm. Thanks for including so many of my recipes, Diane! I love seeing everyone's recipes though. So many fabulous ideas. 😉 Success with any of this for Super Bowl also means they could make an appearance at my V Day Party–win win!
Shirley
Shirley I think we should really make a healthy stadium that would taste good next year. But for now we can eat off this menu. I can't wait to hear what's on your V Day menu.
Wow, what a detailed round up! Although, I must admit that I'm glad I don't have to host a super bowl party. I'm going to pack a lunch and go skiing on Sunday. =)
Have fun!
Melissa
Melissa I'm thinking you'll have clear slopes as the rest of us crazies watch the game. Have a great day skiing!
Thanks for the great snack ideas! What a great resource! I linked my blog post about Surviving the Super Bowl to this one.
Heather now I have to go check that out. Surviving, is that around food or the game?
Holy guacamole! That stadium is amazing! Thanks for the round-up Diane! I have to do one too, and will link to you 🙂
Alisa I feel like Bat Girl! Can't wait to see what you have cooking.
I am thinking guacamole for the grass, celery for the poles, baby carrots for people…different cheese (for those who can have dairy) walls…I just need to think of what to make the stands out of:)
Stacy that sounds like a great start. This will be a lot of fun.
Oh yes – your Daiya cheese crisps! I think I need to make some. Great roundup!
Can't wait to explore your site! Looks great.
Peace & Raw Health,
Elizabeth
I don't even like football but am so mesmerized by your round up that I think I shall invite myself to your house for the big day. Is that ok?:). What a fantastic list of recipes!!!!!
