Home Game Party Tips

From the armchair athlete to the backyard barbeque we've got the Hass Avocado party tips made to give you the home team advantage.

You're likely to have guests who will care more about how equipped you are for the party than how the players prepare for the game. Just be ready with the perfect recipe game plan. Practice makes perfect, especially if you are trying new recipe ideas like the Official Hass Avocado Board Guacamole. By running your plays ahead of time you'll be a seasoned pro come game day and you'll already know what supplies you'll need ahead of time.
Review your recipes for ingredients and make a list of things you'll need to buy. Do your shopping a week ahead of a game day, so you aren't fighting crowds at the market. Plan to purchase plenty of Hass Avocados that will ripen in time for the event. For guacamole, plan one-half to a whole avocado per person. Impress your guests and bring extra
Hass Avocados to slice for sandwich and salad toppings at the party.
Every great athlete knows to eat smart before game time. Prepare yourself by filling up on our Tropical Salad with Hass Avocado and Grilled Shrimp or fresh Avocado Roasted Garlic Dip with crudités. Great to share with early guests or keep all to yourself.

Show your spirit by decorating your home "field" or "court" inside and out to let guests know you're serious about the festivities. Start with your entryway by adding bases, hash marks, or team signs on your lawn and adding colorful balloons and streamers to street-visible areas. Don't have a lawn? Purchase a piece of inexpensive rug and decorate it to resemble a sports "field" or "court" for a fun entrance into your party. Use the competing team colors as your party palette and adorn your party area with bright decorations.

As the host you are somewhat of the referee - why not dress accordingly by wearing black and white to show your impartiality. Just be sure to include a whistle for when you're calling those penalties!
Time your dishes to go with the game. Prepare your guacamole and dips like our Soccer Field of Guacamole for snacking during the first portion of the game.Set up a concession stand on the side but still in view of the television for guests to grab their own drinks and snacks during commercials. This frees up space for your MVP entree - our Hass Avocado Touchdown Pizza or Buttermilk Ranch Guacamole with Spicy Chicken Wings.
Looking for ideas for gourmet grilling fare? Why not try grilling up some vegetables with your favorite tangy marinade for flavor.

Serve them up, with cool and creamy guacamole made with Hass Avocados, for a winning side dish that can't be beat!
