Know what your weekend plans are yet? Chances are high that it’ll be filled with merrymaking. On Sunday, hundreds of millions of spectators across the country will be tuning in to the game—most of them either attending or hosting game day bashes. At the same time, billions of people around the world will be celebrating the Lunar New Year, ringing in the start of the Year of the Monkey.
If you plan to jump in on the revelry, don’t feel forced to choose one event over the other. Instead, partake in celebrating both festivities by combining the two to create an epic Asian-themed finger food feast. Bonus: You won’t have any dirty dishes to clean up, so you can keep all eyes on the score.

 Vegetable Spring Rolls
Traditional Vietnamese spring rolls are made with shrimp and pork, but we love this vegetable-only version, which is made colorful thanks to red bell peppers, carrots, fresh herbs and avocado. If you’ve never made your own spring rolls, don’t worry: they’re incredibly simple to make yourself.
