I have a love hate relationship with football season. I love it because football. And yet I hate it because I’m a Chicago Bear’s fan. It’s never fun to be a fan of a team that sucks like the Bear’s do. Sigh.
However, when I’m not watching football, I’m enjoying the football food! I can’t wait to go through your recipe list more thoroughly, so many things sound mouthwatering!-

I hate/love you for publishing this. I saw the post and thought, “I know all the recipes.” Nope, I forgot you did a ton of these and now I am making a grocery list for this weekend.

Always love this! Would LOVE a breakfast section … my tailgates usually start around 8 AM and go until about 11:30 for a noon college football game. It’s hard to think of breakfast food that I can pack up, drive 45 minutes, and serve hot. Thanks!

I love this! Bookmarked for the season all the way. We made dry rubbed wings last year and they were SO good. I don’t love frying at home because of the stink, so we made these in the oven with no batter and they got super crispy AND tons of the fat dripped away. http://funnyloveblog.com/2017/01/30/dry-rubbed-wings-blue-cheese-ranch/
Love your blog so much!
