For the last few years I have participated in a bracket tournament challenge with some of my extended family. Three years ago I got second place when Kentucky lost to Duke. I choose Kentucky to win every year. Last year, though they didn’t take the trophy, they made it right to the end. And because of that and who they played, I totally won our family’s bracket challenge. It was AWESOME! I got to take home the trophy and keep it until this year when someone else wins. Only this year I don’t plan on losing. Sorry, family, this trophy is mine!
And for all your game day parties, here is a list of 20 of the best appetizer recipes out there! All easy to make and SO good. And perfect for game day!

So fun that you have a tournament bracket challenge with your extended family! We usually do one, just the four of us, and it really helps keep us interested in the tourney, even when none of our teams is playing (and even for me, who has no real knowledge of who’s really supposed to win … hello, Cinderella teams! 😀 )! Anyway, I just adore all these droolworthy ideas! Wow – you picked seriously great recipes! So many fantastic apps! I’m definitely, definitely pinning this to share! And thanks a million for including our Pepperoni Bread! 😀

Shelley, your comment made me laugh! I’m the exact same way in picking the teams. I TOTALLY lucked out last year because Kentucky went so far!! Thanks for sharing the link for that pepperoni bread. I can’t wait to try it!
