Regardless of the season, Fridays are a day to celebrate!
The fall season brings not only incredible color, warm sweaters and cozy, brisk evenings … it also brings Friday night high school football, dates, socials… fill in the blank!
Winter brings basketball and indoor sports. And early evenings for gatherings, parties, game nights and more.
Spring and summer Fridays have their own charm of long days and plenty of activity.
The one things all Fridays have in common is a Friday night to celebrate week’s end.
And whether you celebrate it with an at-home movie or game night — or an out-on-the-town night, Friday night foods should be easy, convenient… and most of all fun!
Here are some suggestions and recipes for fun, Friday Night Foods.

Friday Night Foods
Get ready for fun, easy, flavorful foods, delicious any day… but most especially on Friday nights!
Friday Night Fajita Platter
“Forget the takeaway this weekend, whip up this easy-but-delicious chicken fajita sharing platter instead!”
Loaded Beef Hamburgers
“These burgers are loaded with flavour and you don’t need to hunt down fancy expensive beef. I’m all about making juicy flavourful burgers using ground beef/mince you can get from the supermarket. Don’t you just want to reach through the screen and GRAB this burger??!!”
Taco Pizza Rolls
“These Taco Pizza Rolls are made with taco meat and cheese rolled up in pizza dough. Another twist on Taco Tuesday! Set up a toppings bar and let your guests get in the action and add their own toppings.”
The Best Healthy Turkey Chili
“Little did I expect this turkey chili to surprise me with it’s thick texture and addicting flavor. But my goodness, it is wonderful.”
Best Grilled Burgers Ever
This is the best and easiest grilled burgers recipe I make all summer and tailgating season. Absolutely perfect for Friday nights!
Build Your Own Pizza Party
“Pizza parties make me nostalgic for times of slumber parties with friends. They remind me of those pre-teen nights when all of your girlfriends would gather at one house and call in a bunch of pizzas for dinner (and midnight snacking) that night, over movies and truth-or-dare games. Those days were pretty fun, if you ask me.”
Stuffed Shells
“Loaded with spinach, garlic, sausage, ricotta & smothered in marinara sauce, these Stuffed Shells make a great easy family dinner idea that everyone loves.”
Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Pizza
“Friday dinners not only need to be super tasty, but also really convenient and as easy as possible; which is why this copycat recipe of California Pizza Kitchen’s Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Pizza is totally perfect.”
Chicken Enchiladas
“A healthy and quick recipe packed with chicken, spinach and chilies.”
Taco Bar
“Tacos are an overwhelmingly popular weeknight dinner, not only because they taste great, but because they are fast, easy, and highly adaptable. I especially love a Taco Bar for entertaining, because everyone can build their tacos to suit their own tastes.”
Baked Potato Bar
“This Baked Potato Bar is the perfect solution. Just prep your toppings earlier in the day, store in the fridge, then serve up with some hot potatoes for an easy meal. It works for a small crowd (like your family) or a big one (like the whole swim team).”
