And not to fear, we’ve got you covered with 101 of our favorite ball recipes for all your ball loving needs!
We’re talking:
Balls for breakfast before the game
Balls for lunch tailgating the game
Balls for snacks after playing the game
Balls for dinner at home watching the game
Balls for dessert after the game
No game going on? Don’t worry, these are perfect “any-tizers” to bring to your next barbecue or get together!
We have broken the recipes down into their Menu Builder categories so you know where to find them when you are creating your own meal plans. However, many of these recipes are versatile and can be used for multiple categories. For example, we categorize lunch recipes as those that are cooked on freezer day and ready to heat and eat on serving day. But those could just as easily be used at dinner time or even for appetizers. So use them as you see fit!
Also, note you will see recipes from our Blog Partners in this list. These will be followed by a “freezer version” link which will require a Membership log in to view and add to your custom meal plan.
