For some, it\u2019s crunching leaves that have turned golden brown, rusty orange, and deep yellow. For others, it\u2019s the cool, crisp air that invites you to pull cozy sweaters out of your closet. But if you ask many of us in the American South, we\u2019ll tell you that when September approaches, the main thing on our mind is Football Season. We\u2019re looking forward to tailgates, beers with friends and family, and of course, Game Day house parties. When you can\u2019t make it to the actual event, there\u2019s nothing better than gathering around a table of chips and hot wings and cheering on your team from the other side of the TV. At <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">LakeHomes.com<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> we believe that lake houses can make the perfect venue for hosting a Game Day event this Fall. We\u2019re here to help with tips for preparing a fun, laid-back time with your friends and family.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prep for your Guests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"677\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/GrilledWatermelonFetaandBasilSalad-reciperunner-677x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Grilled Watermelon Feta Basil-RecipeRunner Salad\" class=\"wp-image-10287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/GrilledWatermelonFetaandBasilSalad-reciperunner-677x1024.jpg 677w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/GrilledWatermelonFetaandBasilSalad-reciperunner-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/GrilledWatermelonFetaandBasilSalad-reciperunner.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo and recipe courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/reciperunner.com\/grilled-watermelon-feta-basil-salad\/\">RecipeRunner.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When it comes to gearing up for Game Day at the lake, food prep is a must. It can feel intimidating, especially if you\u2019ve invited a group of 30 friends or family, but it doesn\u2019t have to be such a daunting task. \u201cKeep it simple,\u201d advises Anna Cooper, who often hosts parties at her house on <a title=\"Lake Martin, AL - Lake Homes Realty\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/alabama\/lake-martin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lake Martin<\/a> in Alabama. \u201cWrite down your menu, do as much ahead as you can, and over-prepare rather than under-prepare so that you can enjoy your night.\u201d When enjoying football together is such a laid-back activity, the food you provide can be simple too. For example, a beef tenderloin in the oven \u2014 or on the grill if you have one at your lake house\u2014 is an easy dish that turns out well every time. For enjoying a daytime game in the transitional weather, it\u2019s nice to pair with a fresh salad with <a title=\"Grilled Watermelon, Feta, and Basil Salad - RecipeRunner.com\" href=\"https:\/\/reciperunner.com\/grilled-watermelon-feta-basil-salad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">watermelon, feta, basil, and balsamic vinegar<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/smoked-old-fashoned-4_edited-1280x640-grillgirl-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/smoked-old-fashoned-4_edited-1280x640-grillgirl-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/smoked-old-fashoned-4_edited-1280x640-grillgirl-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/smoked-old-fashoned-4_edited-1280x640-grillgirl-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/smoked-old-fashoned-4_edited-1280x640-grillgirl.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo and recipe courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/grillgirl.com\/2016\/11\/smoked-old-fashioned\/\">Grill Girl.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Afterwards, ice cream sandwiches or a bowl of berries and granola with a dollop of whipped cream. Let\u2019s not forget about drinks. Besides the traditional Game Day beers from the fridge, Cooper recommends a few fun cocktail recipes. She starts off with Aperol spritzes for her guests, adding an orange slice in the classic Italian way. Once late October approaches and you feel the Fall chill, she suggests a delicious \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/grillgirl.com\/2016\/11\/smoked-old-fashioned\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">smoked old fashioned<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d with nice bourbon. With this recipe, she recommends infusing the glass with torched hickory wood for a flavorful touch. The recipes don\u2019t have to be intricate \u2013 they can be simple and fun. As long as there\u2019s enough to go around, your guests will take the fun from there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Setting the Scene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"596\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Outdoor-tv-John-Baranello.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Outdoor-tv-John-Baranello.png 596w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Outdoor-tv-John-Baranello-300x218.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BhUepGHgQwc\/\">Jo<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BhUepGHgQwc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"hn Baranello Design.

Whether you\u2019re watching the game on a screened porch, an outdoor patio, or in your den, there\u2019s something comforting about bursting into cheers at the TV every time your team scores a touchdown. When setting up the viewing spot for the big game, outdoor TVs are a popular choice \u2013 especially when there\u2019s a gorgeous lake view just outside. They\u2019re also an emerging trend that\u2019s more accessible than ever. If you\u2019re looking to set up an outdoor TV at your lake house to start hosting Game Day events, Birmingham-based general contractor Blake Ballantine of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcguireconstructioninc.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">McGuire Construction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> has some advice. \u201cThe biggest thing is protection from the weather,\u201d Ballentine notes, \u201cyou don\u2019t want it in direct sunlight either.\u201d With these tips in mind, Ballentine notices that clients often request outdoor TVs on exterior walls so they can sit on the deck and watch the game. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the weather gets chillier, they may turn on their outdoor fireplace or fire pit. As entertainment trends move from comfy indoor dens to screened porches and open patios, Ballentine mentions that outdoor kitchens are rising in popularity as well. At a lake house, it\u2019s easy to see why. With everyone on the patio enjoying the halftime show, the cook at the grill can be part of the conversation \u2013 and enlist help from friends and family. All the while, everyone is enjoying the serene, spacious backdrop at your lake home.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Embrace the Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"719\" height=\"393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Willows-end-719x393-AG.jpg\" alt=\"Willow's End, Lake Martin - Adams Gerndt Design\" class=\"wp-image-10286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Willows-end-719x393-AG.jpg 719w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Willows-end-719x393-AG-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 719px) 100vw, 719px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Photo courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adams-gerndt.com\/portfolio\/completed-projects\/willows-end\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Adams Gerndt Designs.

There\u2019s no better background for a fun, communal event like Game Day than refreshing air and peaceful lake views. \u201cAt my home in Birmingham, I don\u2019t have an outdoor space,\u201d Cooper comments, \u201cBut once you get to the lake, it\u2019s a relaxing, casual environment. You can see the water and feel the breeze while the fire\u2019s going. I\u2019d much prefer to be there watching the game.\u201d As Fall and football season approaches, now is the time to look into that outdoor grill or TV you\u2019ve been thinking about for your lake house. Just one last piece of advice\u2014 make sure you have channel access to the game!
