Although live sports looks a little different this year, Regency Centers is celebrating this season in a new way with Ultimate Tailgate Takeout: a portfolio-wide initiative created to inspire Regency’s sports-loving community members to design their best at-home tailgate experiences. Over the coming weeks, we'll continue to share the unique #rctailgatetakeout experiences of participants from coast-to-coast, including team-inspired treats and beverages to gift baskets, decor and more!

I headed over to Prairie City Crossing to pick up the ingredients and supplies for my Ultimate Tailgate Takeout Watch Party. I was able to pick up everything I needed at Safeway! One of my biggest tips for entertaining is to pick up items that you can heat and serve quickly, or are already ready to go. My biggest focus when I'm hanging out with my family and friends is to enjoy quality time with them. I can't do that when I'm standing at my stove, since it faces the wall. I like to have a mix of items that are ready to go and super simple recipes so that I can enjoy eating with my loved ones.
The best thing about this taco bar is that everyone is eating the same thing. Oftentimes when I make food for family that have different dietary needs or lifestyles, I end up making several different things. I really like how inclusive this taco bar is to everyone. It's friendly for people who are vegan, vegetarian, keto, gluten free, and even picky kids. It does mean putting things out in separate dishes with separate serving spoons, but I've collected so many little bowls over the year, and it's the perfect way to use them!
