Game Day Made Easy: Fresh Football Food with Thermomix®

Football season is back, and for me, game day food should have one important quality: it shouldn’t keep you in the kitchen while everyone else is watching the game.

Whether you’re hosting a house full of friends, bringing something to a watch party or having a quieter game day at home, Thermomix® can take a lot of the work out of preparing fresh food from scratch.

And living in Milwaukee, football season has a special energy. When the Packers are playing, food is simply part of the experience.

Spend Less Time Preparing and More Time Together

Spend Less Time Preparing and More Time Together

Game day can easily turn into several separate kitchen projects.

A dip needs chopping and mixing. Dough needs kneading. A sauce needs attention. Vegetables need prepping. Drinks need blending. Then there is everything that needs to be washed afterward.

This is one of the things I appreciate most about cooking with my Thermomix® TM7. Instead of pulling out several appliances and working through every step manually, I can use one device for many different parts of the meal.

It can chop, mix, blend, knead, cook, steam and more, depending on what I’m making.

That doesn’t mean I want Thermomix to replace the fun of cooking. For me, it takes care of many of the repetitive steps so I can spend my energy on the parts I actually enjoy.

Game Day Food Can Still Be Fresh Food

Football food often makes us think of takeout, packaged snacks and things straight from the freezer.

There’s certainly a place for easy food. But easy and homemade don’t have to be opposites.

With Thermomix®, you can build your game-day table around fresh ingredients without creating hours of extra work.

Think homemade dips and spreads, fresh salsa, doughs, sauces, soups, snacks, drinks and desserts. Cookidoo® also gives you access to more than 100,000 guided recipes, so you can search for ideas that fit your family, dietary preferences and the kind of gathering you’re planning.

I personally eat plant-based and pay particular attention to protein and fiber, so I love that I can take the same game-day idea and adapt it to the way I actually want to eat.

That might mean beans or legumes in a dip, fresh vegetables alongside it, homemade bread instead of another packaged option, or a meal that happens to be easy enough for game day without feeling like “game-day food.”

Hosting Without Spending the Party in the KitchenThis may be my favorite part.

When people come over, I want to be with them.

I don’t want everyone sitting in the living room while I disappear into the kitchen for the next 45 minutes.

Thermomix® is especially useful when several parts of a meal need preparation because guided cooking walks you through the recipe step by step. Depending on the recipe, the device can be working on one task while I prepare something else.

That can make entertaining feel much more manageable, especially when you want to serve homemade food but don’t want the day to revolve around preparing it.

Not a Football Fan? The Idea Still Works

The same approach works for birthdays, family gatherings, potlucks, holidays or an ordinary Saturday when people suddenly end up at your house.

That’s actually how I think about Thermomix in general.

It isn’t about cooking something elaborate every day.

It’s about making fresh cooking realistic on days when life is already full.

I started using Thermomix more than ten years ago, first with my TM5, later the TM6 and now the TM7. What I cook has changed considerably over those years. I learned to cook, explored food from different countries, became plant-based and more recently started focusing more intentionally on protein and fiber.

The common thread has stayed the same: I want fresh food from scratch without needing my whole day to revolve around making it.

Football season is simply a very good excuse to put that into practice.
