Now to the real food. Watch parties
come with a variety of different meals
depending on the appetites of the
people attending. Finger foods are
the best food option because you can
eat and still socialize while watching
the game. Some good recipes include
pizza and of course chicken wings.
HOMEMADE PIZZA
When it comes to pizza, feel free
to add whatever toppings you or
the crowd likes. The best part
about making pizza from scratch is
everyone can come together to help
out. Pizza dough is also pretty simple
to make, surprisingly!
DIRECTIONS:
Follow this step-by-step recipe to get
the best results.
Combine bread flour, sugar, yeast,
and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand
mixer. While the mixer is running,
add water and two tablespoons of oil.
Beat until the dough forms into a ball.
If the dough is sticky, add additional
flour in one tablespoon increments
until the dough forms into a solid
ball. If the dough is too dry, add
additional water in one tablespoon
increments. Scrape the dough onto
a lightly floured surface and gently
knead into a smooth, firm ball.
After your dough is all good to
go, grease a large bowl with the
remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil,
add the dough, cover the bowl with
plastic wrap, and put it in a warm
area to allow it to double in size for
about an hour. Lay the dough onto a
lightly floured surface and divide it
into 2 equal pieces. Cover each piece
with a clean kitchen towel or plastic
wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Add the pizza sauce and toppings
then pop it into the oven at 475°F for
10-15 minutes.
CHICKEN WINGS
Chicken wings are also easy to make,
especially if you own a fancy air fryer!
You just need some frozen chicken
wings and seasoning of your choice.
DIRECTIONS:
If you want breaded wings, get some
eggs and flour. Then, dip each wing
in that mixture and drop the wings in
oil or stick them in an air fryer.
Traditional (non-breaded) wings are
typically the watch party favorites.
Follow the steps above without
adding eggs or flour. Once the wings
are golden brown and crispy, it’s time
to eat.
Regardless of your plans for March
Madness, these recipes are sure to
come in handy! They are fun and
easy to cook and will also make your
taste buds smile. As always, you can
add your own twist to any of these
recipes. Just make sure to enjoy the
good times.

THE SIDE HUSTLE: SMALL JOBS TO
MAKE BIG MONEY
Due to the pandemic, businesses and families around the world have been affected economically. The sudden spread of COVID-19
and the panic that followed greatly impacted non-essential businesses as well as small businesses. In recent years, the spirit of
entrepreneurship has been praised and encouraged in society, especially amongst young adults. In order to combat financial
hardships, many people search for quick and creative ways to gain some extra cash. Here are a few side hustles that have begun to
trend.
DOORDASH
DoorDash has become one of the
most popular food delivery service
apps since the rise of COVID-19
in March 2020. Users who wish
to stay home and avoid public
interactions are able to order food
from local restaurants and have
it delivered to their home within
minutes. Contactless deliveries
have been added to many delivery
services as a health and safety
precaution. DoorDash provides
the option to become “Dashers,”
which is someone who delivers
food to the users’ addresses. As a
Dasher, you could make up to $100
a day plus tips.
UBER & LYFT
Similar to DoorDash, Uber and
Lyft are another service that has
seen a spike in use during the
pandemic. With a sudden spike
in job loss, many people are in
search of a steady income. People
who aren’t eligible to drive due to
health or disabilities occasionally
need rides to the grocery store or
to a doctor’s appointment. College
students also rely on these rides
to get to the airport or travel in
unfamiliar cities. This service
was pretty popular before the
pandemic amongst the younger
generation and provides a quick
income for drivers.
SELF-EMPLOYED HAIR
& BEAUTY SERVICES
If you are skilled in doing hair,
makeup or even nails, there is an
opportunity for you to make some
pretty good money. For years,
people have started their own
businesses and catered to their
community simply by using their
natural talent and skills. Not only
is this a quick way to potentially
make hundreds of dollars daily,
but it’s also a great way to perfect
your skills with new clients.
BABYSITTING & DOG
SITTING
If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. The old
school hustle of babysitting and
dog sitting is a pretty steady way
to earn yourself some extra cash
on the side. Most people benefit
from a babysitter or dog sitter
at some point in time. As long as
you’re a responsible, honest and
caring sitter, this job is an easy
and (sometimes) fun way to earn
money.
DIY CRAFTS,
CLOTHING, &
ACCESSORIES
Etsy is a popular site that people
use to sell handmade crafts and
items. Items vary from jewelry,
clothing, paintings and even
furniture. Anything you can
imagine could probably be found
on this site. Not only is this a
great way to earn money, but it’s
also a great way to finance your
small business and showcase your
creativity to potential buyers
across the world.
EVENT & PARTY
PLANNING
Event planning is a great and
exciting way to earn some extra
cash. This hobby could also turn
into a possible career path. There
are always events to be held
whether it’s for a birthday, baby
shower or graduation. Decorating
and organizing a celebratory
event can be a bit of a hassle.
Therefore, many people will hire
planners to take over some of the
responsibilities of throwing the
perfect event or party. While you
work as the hired event planner,
all the clients have to do is show
up, sit back, relax and of course
pay you for putting together the
event of their dreams!
